Hatteras April 24 to May 1 with the Ocean Rodeo Crew!


Hi Everyone,

We hope that you've enjoyed some of the wind and snow at our disposal this winter season. And as nice as it's been, it's time to start thinking about the spring!

As many of you do and know, hordes of Ontarian kiteboarders head south to Cape Hatteras NC in the spring to enjoy the reliable wind (compared to Kingston), friendly launch areas, shallow and flat sound-side riding, ocean-side waves, downwinders, and enjoying good accomodations at very reasonable prices. In short, if you're struggling to get in to the sport, or to progress as quick as you would like, the resources and venues available in Hatteras easily equate to months of getting blown down the deep-water, rocky shoreline by Kingston's PUC dock. To learn more about Hatteras, check out these links:

So here's the pitch:
ACCOMODATIONS:
Ocean Rodeo has a number of rooms booked at the resort at Kitty Hawk - http://www.kittyhawk.com/kiteboarding/lodging.cfm . The cost is $200 each (8 person occupancy), including an event hoodie and Crew dinner ($60 value, see details below). You would be responsible for your other meals and travel to and from Waves, NC. Payment can be made to Ocean Rodeo directly, and we will need your hoodie size ASAP, so anyone who's interested - email us back and we'll put you in touch with John from OR and get you set up. There are currently 3 rooms booked, and access to more depending on numbers. If you have a group of 8 friends who want to go, and you want to make sure that you're in excellent company, this opportunity might be just for you!

In support of this event, we welcome you to use this Forum thread to see who else is interested in participating, to receive updates, organize rides, etc.

CREW DINNER: If you would like to participate in the OR Crew Dinner, but not the accomodations, then join the party on Friday the 29th in a private dining room with all the other Crew that have come down and a hooded sweatshirt, and possibly a T-shirt, designed specifically for the event. If interested, please email with your shirt / sweat shirt size and sex as well as if you have any dietary concerns.

This will be a BIG WEEK in Hatteras this spring, with gear demos at Kitty Hawk Kites, the SBC crew testing all the gear they can get their hands on, and the usual buzz of kiting excitement as the warm weather blows over Hwy 12.

Kind regards, spread the word, and feel free to contact us for more details.
