Race Info:
- Race is limited to experienced SUP Racers. You should be very comfortable doing tight (180 degree) buoy turns. And because of the tight course, there will be (unintentional) board contact. And falling.
- All racers are competing on 12'6" Starboard Inflatable SUP Boards that will provided. Racers are required to bring their own paddles and PFDs (inflatables are ok).
- Races are held throughout the day from 10am-4pm.

SNOW KITE & WING DEMO DAYS:
The NorthLine Snow Kite & Wing Demo Day is an event which provides participants with an introduction to kiteboarding by flying small trainer kites (size 1-3 m2) and watching experienced kiters. We also have Wings for participants to try.
Experienced snow kiters may try larger kites with approval of a NorthLine representative after demonstrating their ability. All participants must wear helmets while flying kites. The DEMO is not to be construed as a substitute for professional instruction and we recommend you seek the guidance of a certified professional kiteboarding instructor to continue your kiteboarding progression.
