MIAMI KITEBOARDING HOSTS THE FIRST WOMEN'S KITESURFING EVENT
The first women's kitesurfing event was
indeed held at the northernmost beach at Crandon park beach,Key Biscayne,
Miami, the entire day of Saturday March 20th 2004, from 10.00AM till 7.00PM
with literally hundreds of spectators and participants taking in the picture
perfect kitesurfing weather. Tourists and locals alike would stop,
pull out their cameras and take pictures of the dozens of kites flying
on the waters as hundreds of kites sat ready for action on the beach.
With the long lines of each kite, and the sheer numbers of people and kites,
it would seem that an accident would be inevitable. There were no
injuries, close calls, or accidents.
The promise was that there would be emphasis
put on safety, and accessibilty of that sport for women and children was
fulfilled by action. It would be difficult to compare this event
and gathering with any other and the inherent danger with winds in excess
of 20 knots. People helping people. Personal responsibility.
Being keenly aware of the surroundings at all times made this a safe and
fun time for all.
Over eighty women signed up for the free
clinics for beginners, intermediates , and safety demos, that went on all
day.
The sponsors gave away prizes that included
Airfare for 2 anywhere in the Caribbean, a one week kite surfing vacation
in the Carribbean, harnesses, wet suits, and all types of equipment.
With the success of this years event,
next years women's kitesurfing event promises to be so much larger and
even better still. It was truly difficult to believe that this was
a first as the organizers and sponsors did such a fantastic job running
a smooth session on the air / water.
