FLY-FEST is a kiteboarding and musical festival that promotes art and culture through sports, a total free and open event, in the Santa Marianita beach, in Ecuador, with bands, Dj’s and Pro Kiteboarding Riders.
We were invited by F-One for one memorable week of trying out the new 2014 F-One kitebaording, SUP and Manera collection. Conditions were PERFECT with big swell and wind ! One week to remember.
In its 13th year, the Bridge of the gods kiteboarding competition is the longest running amateur kiteboarding competition in existence. This year brought some new additions including a pro and lady grom division.
Keep in mind this is the first dedicated snowkite zone in California that has the support of a well respected ski resort, within an easy three hour drive from the Bay Area.
It all came together for some truly epic East wind conditions. The Gorge delivered anything and everything from 15mph to 40mph plus and the new Bandit 6 handled it all with ease.
"So smooth", "I didn't even have to think about the kite.", "This board is amazing", "F-One has always made good boards, but wow."
