Who
John Holzhall at www.kiteboardcenter.com is the Kite and Kite Boat Coordinator. The Challenge is open to anyone who wants to participate. We strongly recommend that participants train in distance riding, self exits, and have the techniques required to make it from a wind shadow to the wind line. With that said, rescue teams are in place.

Teams of two or more are recommended.
