Dakine & Women's Kiteboarding Summer's End Clinic Goes Off!
Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at 06:03PM Summer’s End Women’s Clinic 30 mph and 30 Girls Strong!
To get 30 women together in one spot is a feat in itself. But to have 30 women kiteboarders who all rip on the water, learning from each other, and sharing the stoke of kiteboarding is an incredible event! That's exactly what the Summer's End Women's Kite Clinic was all about - sharing tips and stoke. 
Supported by Dakine, Liquid Force Kiteboarding, Best Kiteboarding, and Elemental Herbs, 8-Time World Champion Kristin Boese and Tonia Farman hosted the event from Well's Island in the Columbia Gorge. Once everyone was shuttled to the island, the gray clouds parted and the wind turned on. Tonia and Kristin kicked off the all-day event with demonstrations by Kristin while Tonia walked through the steps to perform the maneuvers that Kristin was executing. The gals asked questions as Kristin rode back and forth to demonstrate moves. Then it was time for everyone to get on the water! The wind had picked up to low-mid 20s, so smaller kites were rigged for the on-water instruction.
28 girls launched their kites and headed upwind to ride in a wide open section of the river, with steady wind for attempting tricks. Tonia and Kristin, on their kites as well, stayed close by to give tips and instruction and demonstrate on the water. After a lunch break, the gals went back out for a group downwinder to the Hood River Event Site. 
The evening festivities were hosted by Windance with cocktails, Thai dinner, music, and a raffle sponsored by Slingshot and Mystic. Thanks to Dakine, Liquid Force, Best, South Bank Kitchen, and Windance for an incredible day!
