This was the first-ever women-only event. The wind blew over 20 knots most of the day, the sun was out and a big turnout of kiteboarders and spectators. Laurel Eastman flew in from Caberete to serve as a host and judge. Neil Hutchinson of Slingshot was MC and judge and Oliver Butsch of Cabrinha was also a judge. While the top two women competitors are listed below, all the women performed well and were winners for participating in such a momentus event.

• Julie Simsar won 1st Place
• Sonja Fischli won 2nd Place

A beautiful day in the history of Florida kiteboarding. Special thanks to Christophe Ribot of MiamiKiteboarding.com who created and coordinated the Event. We hope to see you all there next year.
