VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

Hello All

Last year we came together as a community and supported our friend Russian Dood who battled cancer.

This year we rally again with the same energy, and compassion for our kiteboarding friend Steven Rubin. Steven was diagnosed with Cancer shortly after his wedding to Michelle.

So let's have a good time and support Steve!!

Again, the Royal Victoria Yacht Club has generously offered their space to us.

However this year the RVYC will be offering wonderful array of complimentary appetizers, from the clubs own award-winning executive chef.

I also invite you to come learn about the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and how you can join in the 2013 Victoria kite races.

and lastly

Ocean Rodeo will be leading a silent auction/ Gear Swap with proceeds will be going to help Steve and Michelle with their battle.

If you have any gear to donate please PM me. Cash donations on the night will also be graciously accepted for this cause.

Luke

Toby for KiteForum.com just emailed me and he will be donating a copy of the DVD, AirStyle, to the silent auction.

We will be the first people in Canada to see this new kite film at this event.

Ok, so this preview has a lot of tricks with pointed toes but I think the finished product will be really funny and light hearted.

Add to this list a 2011 Nobile NHP 131 X 40 board.

(only 3 hours use, cant tell its use when looking at the front, one extremely small scratch if you look at the back carefully) Ideal size for a 145-175lbs person.
