SPRING 2009 KITEBOARDING ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND  - Finally March has rolled around and it's time to enjoy some Spring Kiteoboarding sessions on SPI.  The Island has mostly recovered from last summers Hurricane with only a few hotels and restaurants still closed or gone completely off the radar.  Winter Texans were here in force and as one local kiter said “South Padre Island winter kiteboarders enjoy near celebrity status, entertaining the snowbirds all winter.” Although the solitude of winter kiting is nice, we look forward to see all the kiteboarders return every spring.  With the state of the world these days, anyone can benefit from some warm and windy days of island style R & R, kiting and hanging with our comrades.  Again this Spring are the 2009 Speed Runs for Fun and Prizes at the North Flats. Speed Runs are held weekly throughout April and May with a $10 entry fee. Also Naish and North will visit for free demos with all the 2009 gear.

STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING
SPI Kiteboarding is offering lessons-rentals so give us a call and try this fun new sport. Stand Up Paddle Surfing is all the rage these days. So we got some boards and we are loving it (on no wind days of course). And what better place to learn than South Padre. Flat water learning, then touring and building your balance and strength, then maybe a go in the surf! But it's not as simple as it looks, especially when you add the terrain of the Gulf of Mexico. Check out our Stand Up Paddle Board Sessions!
