I think I've heard of some informal racing up the coast in Long Beach. Other than that, San Fran has lots of races out here on the west coast.

I guess I am asking if this has taken off all over.
Of course San Fran has been at it for a long time. How about Texas ? OBX ? East Coast ? Other parts of Canada?
I am just curiuos where all we will be drawing talent? ( The Squamish folks are feeling strong ) I think this is cool. Kind of like how snowboarding
was, a few racers making the way for a bunch of yahoo's that started it all !
At this rate I may live to see actual snowkite parks as part of the mix in my kitetime! :wee:

Yeah ... me versus everyone. Apparently, I'm the fastest thing on the water. And still the fattest :o
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Yes. I asked Adam Koch advise on tacking the raceboard the other day onsite. Follow the kite in the turn and I need to practice, practice, practice.
