There is a Good posibility that Kitefoil course racing will be on the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo , Japan . according to the latest ISAF meeting.
We need to get a younger group of Foiler's to start racing . if we want to be competitive !!!
This could mean Central Americans and Panamerican games too .

Kiko,

How about the time that I picked you up 3
miles off-shore as the sun was going down after the wind
died.  At least you had a kite to float on, a foil kite
could have been deadly in that situation.  Always have a
back up plan and let others know where you are going. 
It's a good idea to have a very good water case for a
phone or a 2 way radio.

I bought a several Nautilus Lifeline
Marine Radios when we opened in Dorado.  I think one of
these would be good equipment to have with you when foiling
long distances or off shore.  Essentially it is a
waterproof marine radio that is enclosed in a waterproof
case.  Wen the case is closed it is rated to a depth of 425
feet.  It also have the ability to send an emergency alert
to the cost guard and provides your GPS location.

I have a couple I would
be willing to sell to anyone interested for $150.

Goodwinds,

Phil

Luego de
una domingo espectacular en palomino con algunos incidentes
me recuerdo que .

1- Es super riesgoso y en especial con Foil kites el navegar
solo.

2- Las tablas y los Kites tienen que tener nombre y # de
telefono ( en 2 lugares ( visible y no visible )

3- Tener un backup plan en caso de que la cosa se tranque (
se cae el viento o 20 mil cosas que pueden pasar) alguien
tiene que saber tu kitesurf plan en tierra y tener manera de
llegar a ti .

4- Cuando usas un Foil kite y cae al agua tienes tu tiempo
contado pero dejar la tabla es peligroso y costoso .
Facilmente te encuentras nadando con el kite cogiendo agua y
tu sin ninguna flotacion y perdiendo la tabla , (es mas
facli de lo que uno se cree )



Saludos. Kiko

We are working on a kids contest series that will focus on freestyle and racing.  Getting them used to races and starts will be s step in the right direction.

Agreed. Happy to hear foiling will most likely be part of the Olympics!
