EVENT REPORT: Regatta Copa Mexico, Puerto Vallarta, March 4, 2010
The 2010 North American Championships are going on right now in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and The Kiteboarder Magazine is here on site on the beautiful Banderas Bay. For the past three days, the course racers have been battling it out and there has been a lot of close racing. All of the riders have pulled out their latest boards and fins, and there are even a few prototype production course racing boards being tested on the course here.

The wind has delivered every day of the event so far, so hopefully conditions will hold through the remainder of the event, which lasts until Saturday.
