Well all of the numbers are not in yet, but we are over $58k!! A truly incredible feat. In a year where our economy was turned on its head, you guys went out and made sure that helping people with cancer is still a priority.
You all are the pride of the kiteboarding community and you showed it yesterday
Thanks to everyone who volunteered. There was no way it could have happened with out all of your help.
And thanks to my two partners Tonia and Gregg. You're the best...can't wait until next year
Still in awe of the day,

You guys are amazing!
I don't think there was a dry eye in the crowd when Irv and Ari were up there receiving the t-shirt prize. I am NOT embarrassed to say that I was glad I had sunglasses on because of the watery eyes I had.
All the efforts by the organizers, volunteers, athletes and sponsors means so much to so many people.
THANK YOU!
I can't wait to do it all over next year. |

A big shout out of gratitude for all the businesses and individuals who contributed schwag to bid on. Very cool. Especially Garret who went above and beyond to have Rico's pictures framed and provided Ipod's. Pepi - wow, what can I say? So overwhelmed by your generosity - that kayak package & hiking stuff was SUPER!
