SOLO PADDLESURF TO LAUNCH AT KITEXPO!

A new SUP-dedicated company, SoloPaddlesurf has been in the works for the past year and a half and is launching its first boards at the Pismo SUP and KiteXpo demo event!  Based in Southern California, the team is composed of guys with varying ocean sports background in windsurfing, kiteboarding and of course, surfing. SoloPaddlesurf will be raffling off their new Carbon Fiber paddle and will have all five of their new SUP boards available for demo. Check out www.solopaddlesurf.com for more info.

Other SUP Participants:

Global Surf Industries:  Global Surf Industries (GSI) operates from its world headquarters in Manly on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. In September 2002, GSI entered into a joint-venture agreement with Cobra International. Today, GSI has a portfolio of 11 brands and offers seven SUP boards.

C4: C4 Waterman consists of some of today’s most respected and accomplished watermen including Brian Keaulana, Mike Fox, Todd Bradley, and shaper Dave Parmenter. C4 has eleven SUP’s in their 2009 line and will be raffling off some killer swag including a new carbon paddle.

 SUP demo hours; 9a to 12p or whenever the wind starts blowing!

 KITECYLE LOOKING FOR OTHER RECYCLE CENTERS/TRAINING FACILITIES     

If you have old kites, sails or windsurf sails, bring them to the Expo and get a tax write off from Kitecylce, now with nonprofit status! They are also looking for recycle centers in other windy areas. For instance, Lydia is setting something up with Palapas Ventana in La Ventana now, and will be training some locals on how to make the reusable bags. This is a great project for social or special needs programs in your community.
