If you have not been to this event, it is one of the best Florida kiteboarding events of the year. Islamorada has ultra-consistent wind in late March, which is why they hold the event at this time. This year with the inclusion of SUP races, the event will be bigger than ever. Even if you don't want to compete, it is a good time to go down and ride, and party in the Florida Keys.

Hey,

Who is invited to the invitational?

Clew In

That's a good question? I guess if you were invited you would know.

But seriously, all of the top pros are in this one from this area. In the past guys like Andy Hurdman, Damien Leroy, Alex Fox and and Billy Parker were killing it. Dmitri will probably be there pimping the new Epic Kites. Just cause you are not on the pro invite list does not mean that you can not go down and enjoy the riding and parties. I am sure some of the events are open to everyone as well.

I know that they are also have a full on stand up paddle board event with this one as well this year.

Some additional clarification -

Just like in years past, the overall event is open to all kiteboarders and paddleboarders.

There may be a special heat and/or an invite-only portion of the event.

Otherwise, you are all invited to participate - ALL AGES and skill levels!

Did anyone go down for the event? Looked like they got skunked most of the weekend, but maybe some wind on Sunday?
