Kitesurfing is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and our mild Miami temperatures and steady Northeast winds provide the perfect place to learn and practice the sport, attracting riders from all over the world. Because of the extreme nature of the sport and Miami’s crowded beaches, the event will also focus on informing the community about important safety guidelines and new gear technology. Like last year, the Kite4Girls event will also provide a forum to connect the Southeast kiteboarding community and congregate some of the top local riders and representatives of the sport, both men and women. We anticipate a greater turnout than last year, with over 100 rider, nearly all local media will also be present. We hope to see you there!
