Anyone know if this is still happening? Maybe you can point me to recent thread on nwkite? Hope so, it's a great event and we always see some great athletes.

There won't be an official RoSham 2013 event this year. I've got a little one on the way, with a due date right in the middle of the planned dates.

Both Joby and I have been very pleased with the competition format we've created, but it's an insane workload to pull it off. This year, we're not doing an event, but we're still inviting everyone out to come hang out, ride, film, and chill out during the usual dates in July (17th-21st). With a bunch of big hitters in town, I'm sure someone will do something cool in the world's only public access kiteboard terrain park.

This year we're struggling to even get the features deployed. We need to get them out as we have plans for a new anchoring system designed by Cory and Levi Roeseler that should be way more user friendly for adjustment.

We're going to revisit things this coming fall/winter, and are planning to get back to focusing on what we do best: building the terrain park features for our community.

This'll be a great time still, with the riders in town and it being the peak of the season and all.
I'm sure we'll be witnessing some sick riding and it'll be a perfect time for us to organize a nice kiter bash party for the locals to have the opportunity to hang with all the visiting pros.

Stay posted.
