The Gorge Games - 17 juli - 19 juli

Helemaal in Amerika, maar omdat er iig een Hollander meedoet daar (Sander Lenten) en omdat het de thuisbasis is voor Slingshot toch wel t vermelden waard.

The Gorge Games is een jaarlijks evenement dat zich niet alleen richt op kitesurfen maar ook op allerlei andere active outdoor sports zoals mountainbiken en kanoen.
