Jan. 18, 19, 20 Miami @ Shake A Leg
Liquid Surf and Sail is proud to announce the first Hobie Adventure Island "Nationals" (for lack of a better description). AI's will be a featured class in the regatta, which also includes Open Bics, Windsurfers (Formula,Kona and Raceboard), Sonars, 2.4's and some other classes as well. The event is run in the memory of Alex Caviglia, former President of Adventure Sports Miami, a company that sells windsurf and kite gear. Alex died of complications relating to a kitesurfing accident, so the proceeds from the event go to Shake A Leg and the Caviglia Foundation, both of whom work with the disabled. Last years event had over 150 sailors, this years promises to be bigger.
This event will be straight up Adventure Island competition, competing as a One Design Class. All AI's are welcome. What is legal? Turbo flippers, barber haulers, new rudder. Other mods are not legal. Pedaling around the course is legal, but you cannot pedal into the wind (luffing sail). We will be sailing on courses of other boats and windsurfers, probably trapezoids, triangles and windward leewards.
This will be the first time AI's have been featured in a multi-class regatta, and word on the street is we have top AI Florida sailors coming, we would like to invite everyone with a boat to participate. Miami in January is the best sailing on planet earth, and this is a great facility and a great cause, so please see if you can make it!
