Shocked

I've been wanting to test a CORE kite for like 3 years to see what's the hype all about...

Thanks for putting this together. I sure hope it's gonna be windy!

Location confirmed !
We will be out on the Hood River Sandbar all day Saturday.

Forecast is good enough for lighter wind riding at this point, plus it will be a Beach Party:
Demo kites
Demo boards
Demo foils
BBQ
Beach Games
See the new 2017 gear and meet the pros.
.......and more

No supsquatch google it it's pretty cool. Picture 4-6 folks on a giant sup one guy in back steering with a paddle. The rest flying kites. Could be epic

What great event , thank you to all who attended the largest kite demo day in Hood River . We have some great ideas to step it up and make it even bigger

The wind was light early so a lot of 17/15 meter kites with foils and skim boards were demo'd . The iDrodisk was a hit with the water floatilla crowd then the wind picked up to 10/12 meter and folks were stoked to fly crispy kites .

Stay tuned for Sunday's plans.

Successful Demo!
Even the wind showed up and we got 30 or 40 riders out.
Thanks to all who came and to my brands for taking the time and money to make this the biggest HR Demo yet.
And thanks to NWkite.com for being the center of all communications.

not kite related, but what were those round slingshot things that people were floating on?

thanks!
i looked it up yesterday.
looks kind of cool for a hang out device, but $500 seems way steep.
