WANTED!!! EXTREME KITEBOARDERS
WARNING! Do not register for this event unless you are both physically and mentally fit to kiteboard the entire Hawaiian Island chain!
So you think your fast? Can you kite circles around kookz until your arms fall off? Can you kite for more than 5 hours at a time without taking a break. Are you willing to kiteboard if you can't see land? Are you willing to swim for hours (possibly days) if your gear breaks down? The rules are simple. Cross the finish line first. Please note that 50% or more of all the entrants will not make it to the finish line. Sound like fun?
