I wanted to share with everyone a great event my friends are putting on in Homer Alaska. Suprisingly it isnt as cold there as you would think. I thought I would lose my nuts and turn into a iceburg but it really isn't that cold. Not much different that our temps here. Spread the word and help support kiteboard growth in Alaska. It is a non-profit event after all.
