After almost three straight weeks of perfect wind in Cabarete mother nature played a little trick on our KB4girls event, and once again we had a windless KB4girls.

Regardless, over forty incredible women and girls convened once again at the Laurel Eastman Kiteboarding School (LEK) to celebrate friendship, fun, and learning.

Beginners learned set up, the safety actions, and the first steps to kite flying.

Advanced girls were treated to a clinic with three celebrity kitesurfing coaches: Jose Luengo, Ben Meyer, and Cameron Dietrich.

And most of all, Peter Pan had a great day in the sun!

Thank you to all the girls who came, to the volunteers, and the coaches.

Stay tuned for the video!!

Save the Date for April: Saturday April 14th, back on Kite Beach, this time at Extreme Hotel.

First ever KB4girls in Cabarete was AMAZING

Cabarete girls kicked off the first ever KB4girls local chapter event with a bang.  52 enthusiastic women from all over the world converged on Laurel Eastman Kiteboarding (LEK) to participate in the free kiteboarding clinic.  With kite flying & safety actions for beginners, launching & landing techniques for intermediate riders, and former Freestyle World Champion, Ania Grzelinska, coaching the advanced group, there was a ton of knowledge and stoke passed on from the coaches to the participants.

Millennium Resort & Spa provided the perfect backdrop, hosting a gorgeous cocktail party next to their infamous infinity swimming pool.  Ryan Evans from Best Kiteboarding joined the fun, hosting demos (which turned out to be more “product knowledge” sessions as the light winds kept the advanced group from riding).  Even with light winds the advanced and intermediate ladies were so stoked to have so many beginners rocking the kite flying - the vibe was incredible!

Everyone can’t wait for the next events here in Cabarete which will be held the second Saturday of every month in 2012.

To see great photos of the event and learn more about Laurel Eastman Kiteboarding (LEK) check them out on Facebook.

Let's get together and have fun with the girls kiting!!

This is a FREE event open to ALL levels - from the "first-timer" who would like to learn more about kiting to aspiring pro riders wanting to improve their tricks for competition.

There are 3 group levels for our FREE clinics!

1.  Advanced (jumping and above) with former Freestyle World Champion Ania Grzelinska!! (and Laurel Eastman)

2.  Intermediate (kite flying to jumping)

3.  Total Beginner (if you are thinking of trying it, you can learn to fly the kite)

The event schedule is:

1:30pm - Registration in front of LEK and gear-rigging

2pm - FREE clinic with LEK coaches for the 3 levels

3pm - Free-riding in pairs of girls (focused on improving your level)

4:30pm - Debrief & De-rigging

5pm - KB4girls Cocktail Party poolside at the Millenium Resort & Spa with a free drink for all the girls (taste the new KB4girls Cabarete signature cocktail "Flying Chica" invented by LEK's own mixologist, Meghan!)

There will also be a special drinks and tapas menu at the party in case you want to eat or drink more!  Thanks to Aqua restaurant...

You can join all components of this awesome day, or just do your best to make it out to the clinics, kiting, or just the cocktail party!  The idea is to have fun together in our Cabarete female kiting community, improve our skills in kiting and make the Cabarete women's kite community stronger!

If you have time to RSVP please send a mail to laurel (AT) laureleastman (DOTCOM) or just show up here at LEK on Sunday!

See you then!
