Last year I believe Sky did it in 1hr 12min? or very close to it.
Cory R, Jim Bisson and PKH were on he's heals and would know best.

tinyE · Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster

i just got an email saying the spots were limited.
why is that? is it the issue with the launch? (too many people to get into the water?)
just curious.

anyway we can get slingshot to put the air mattress dock back in for the event?

Last year the Blowout had 62 participants and were not able to get everybody on the water in time for the start.

This year we are going to limit the event to 100 participants. In an effort to get everybody on the water we are going to launch the competitor division first, followed by the sportsmen riders division.

During the skippers meeting I will outline how we are going to get everybody on the water in a save and timly maner.

See you on the water

BOTG is purchasing new docks this year for the launch......SS docks are out-of-service.......we will leave them up for the Blow-out.......should be fun!

just signed up. stoked! gonna break some lines or maybe a bar.

does anyone think it odd that the photo on the poster has a liquid force kite while LF isn't a sponsor?

TWIN-FIN · Since 24 May 2006 805 Posts Portland, OR Hot Monkey

This is a CGKA event with Slingshot as our title sponsor.

Additional sponsors include:
New Wind
Kite the Gorge
Gorge Performance
Windance
2nd Wind
Dakine
Big Winds
nwKite.com
North Kites

Even if you don’t fly a Slingshot kite we will let you participate in the event. Thumb's Up

Its more about getting together with 100 of closest kite buddy’s and having a good time, ripen the overhead swell in the narrows to balls out hauling ass past Viento.
Do your self a favor and dont miss this event, it’s going to be the best one of the season.

I know that this might be a silly question to ask since the BOG is running this weekend, but since I am participating in both the Kite and the Windsurf Blowout, I was wondering.

Is anyone out there competing in both the Windsurf Blowout this weekend and then the Kite Blowout next weekend?
