So, this last Saturday I decided to step up...I mean exactly 1 year ago I started to kiteboard, and so now is the time to show off my progression. So, to show support for cool events happening locally, I changed my scheduled plans so that I could make it to the 1st ever NW Cabrinha Race Series...let me rephrase that...so that I could make it to the race in order to compete in the 1st ever NW Cabrinha Race Series. That's right folks, I registered as a drop in and took my skills to the water.
Rider #12 in the NW Cabrinha Race Series
Wally aka Gator set up the race series with the help from Motion Board Shop, as well as the sponsors Cabrinha, Dakine, and Transcend Apparel. Here is a pic of Wally laying out the rules to all the racers.

Now I am not going to brag about how well I did...because I didn't do all that well. But then again, neither did a bunch of people. The wind barely came up with enough to get us on the water. Only those on race boards or large Spleen or Glide "doors" could even make it up wind...and I wasn't one of them. But I did have fun.
Too bad I will be in Cabarete during the next series and therefore unable to attend, as I hear there are some wicked prizes....oh well, guess I will have to make do with kiting in paradise! mwuahahahahahah
kitebeach, Cabarete, Dominican Republic....where I'll be soon!!!

Sorry we missed you for the second race! Not to rub it in but the wind was great for 7 hrs, it couldn't have gone any better. Adam Vance took 1st place in like 6 out of 7 of the races, FYI. I think it's safe to say that we'd all rather be somewhere tropical like you though. Hope you're having a great trip!
