Lots of major brands have signed up to demo their gear. I went last year and it was pretty cool. I went on a day the wind was light and got to demo an Ozone Zephyr (awesome kite). Hopefully the winds will be solid the whole time this year!

A couple of other kiters and I will be driving down Wednesday night and driving back up to Austin on Sunday in the late afternoon. I've registered for the event and the fee is still $69.00. If you don't choose to pre-register, supposedly it'll be an additional $20 at the gate. Pre-registration end on Tuesday, May 17th at 5:00pm.

As of right now, the forecast looks perfect (19-20 all day everyday). Here's a link to the wind forecast for that spot:
