XtremeBigAir's KiteXPO 2006 at Pismo Beach is going to be one of the largest kiteboarding events of the year. Last year we had more than 400 attendants from all over California, and as far as Mexico and Canada. Pismo State Beach is BIG! Our beach is miles long without rocks, reef, and urchins. Nothing dangerous. Just plenty of clean ocean water, soft beautiful sand, great wind and waves for your xtreme kiteboarding needs.

This year XtremeBigAir.com has brought kite designers, company test riders, pro riders, kiteboard builders, and industry experts to the KiteXPO 2006. All the leading representatives of kiteboarding products will be there and will be showing a whole host of new models and accessories. Last year at KiteXPO 2005 , we had Corky Cullen of Liquid Force Kiteboarding, Blake Pelton of Peter Lynn Kites, Flash Austin and Wind Wing crew, Jeff Burton of CAUTION Kites from Santa Cruz, CABRINHA, F-One Kiteboarding, Litewave Designs, David Civiello of SLING SHOTS with the Slingshot Kiteboarding crew ready with the new 2005 MACHINE, BEST kiteboarding crew of Best KiteBoarding, LIT Kiteboarding, CAPTAIN KIRKS Kiteboarding resort, UNDERGROUND Kiteboards, etc.

XtremeBigAir's KiteXPO 2006 will include the traditional dawn till dusk activities, with endless demo kiteboarding actions: informative sessions, special XtremeBigAir Xpression Sessions every hour, demonstrations, and of course, some beach bonfire-BBQ parties.

The season is on down there now. I was there last weekend. Sat morning I made a Snowman for my daughter on Kinsley's deck then but 1pm I was out riding a 9m Waroo for the afternoon. Butt cold but very fun

[windhorny]

Just a thought. Would any locals here wanna go in a on a RV to hit up the event? I would only be able to go for the weekend so anyone who is in the same boat let me know. I know a few people already that are down.
