Hey! I'm Texan and smarter than most the people on this forum! LOL

I demand more pictures! I'm so jealous! Anyone want to plan a trip to do this downwinder next year? We don't need support boats, not like you're going to drown in 6 inches of water.

I'd be down with that, but all I'll "need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine." Cool

Kiteboarding world distance record set in two days.

In the words of Cartman. You've been served.

Day 1: South Padre Island to Port Mansfield

Here are a few pics from day 1 taken from the support boat. They travelled within the Intracoastal canal where the water was deep enough for boat travel, and were unable to follow us on our treks across the Laguna Madres, and into the various flats. We are going through all of the photos and videos of the trip. We had several different people taking photos from another boat and one of our riders carried a camera as well. Hope you enjoy the photos and get an idea of the expanse of water we are kiting!!
