We are so excited to announce the Wind Over Water and Kite Adventures Race Club Series held at 3rd Avenue in San Mateo (California) on alternating Thursdays throughout the summer beginning on May 10, 2007 and continuing through September 6, 2007. We are working on some amazing prizes from Wind Over Water and Kite Advenures for the first and second place winners of the Race Club Series.
Providing an alternative race location in the South Bay gives more Bay Area kiters an opportunity to participate in course racing on a regular basis. We think that course racing will become a large part of the future of kiteboarding as it’s more accessible to a broader range of kiteboarders than technical freestyle competitions.
Races will begin at 5pm sharp with a Skippers meeting at 4:30pm at the upper launch of 3rd Avenue. Racers will compete on the standard windward leeward course, the same course as the Cabrinha Race Series. There will be 4 heats of races per night, with the possibility to open up a girl’s race heat depending on interest. We will also update you on the post race hang out in Burlingame…
