Pismo Beach Kite Expo and Kinsley Wong Benefit

carolb · Fri Apr 06, 12 8:18 am **Pismo Beach Kite Expo and Kinsley Wong Benefit**

Hey NW kiters

Just a heads up that this painting is a donation to the fund raiser that is a part of the Pismo Beach Kite Expo for Kinsley Thomas Wong of Xtreme Big Air. Last year you could get raffle tickets via pay pal or something and not have to be present to win. You just needed to pay shipping or have someone bring it to you. I scored some sweet wine last year. Anyways, this painting will be part of it. Contact Marina if you want to get in on it or maybe she can chime in with some info. This painting is 3' x 2' and would look great in your home!

Here's some of the info on it.
10th Annual Pismo Beach Kite and SUP Expo April 13-15, 2012.

This year’s event will be our second annual fundraising effort for Pismo Beach KiteXpo’s founder Kinsley ThomasWong of Xtreme Big Air in Pismo Beach, CA. Kinsley was involved in a serious kiteboarding accident on the Central Coast of California on July 15, 2010. While he has made amazing progress so far, his road to recovery has been very costly.

Thanks
