Matunuck Wind Classic 2012






















A fantastic day for a hoedown at Matunuck! Warm, windy, wavy, and sunny. 40 sails and kites shared the air space with no friction other than a little friendly boasting in the parking lot.

If kiters and windsurfers can get along this well, maybe there's hope for democrats and republicans. Nah...










































It was fun to have the afterparty right in the parking lot, the setting sun and waves as the back drop, everyone's gear still scattered about, burgers and dogs hot off the grill. Nice to see many old friends and make a few new ones. Perfect day.






















Deep Hole, Kitesurfed, SSW, 20-35, 15-25, 6M RPM & 10M Rally/ Mako 150, with Steve, Nate, Gerry, Scott, Mitch, Chris, Sergey, Jerry, Jeff, Peter, Greg, Antoine, Don, lotsa others.

Had no idea there was an event.

Jean- This is the first year they included kiters and windsurfers but they didn't publicize it very widely outside of R.I. It's always been a pretty small and informal type event, from what I've seen.
