That's right, the 2nd annual Nitinat Lake Crew Event is a go for this summer. The offical dates for Windfest are August 16th/17th but we are hoping to convince as many of you as possible to come to the Island on the 13th or earlier and head up to the lake with us early in order to get a chance to demo all the new 09 Ocean Rodeo gear.

From Ocean Rodeo:

Introduced in 2003 on all of our kites the Shock Strip (SxS) is a strip of Dacron that runs the width of the kite from wing tip to wing tip. This strip runs exactly over the apex of the kite’s curve and is designed to bear the load of a hard nose down crash.
