Traverse City Kite Derby on South Lake Leelanau
The annual TC Kite Derby will be held next weekend (Feb 16-18). The likely location will be at the Bingham access on South Lake Leelanau (most likely, but it depends on wind). There will be a Free-Ride Session at the Event site from 2-5 PM on Friday. On saturday, GPS speed runs & freestyle exhibition from noon-2 PM and the distance run around the lake from 3-4 PM. Makeup times are Sunday. Check the link to the official site below for more.
For more information, visit the TC Kite Derby web site, read Kite Derby sails away in last year's Grand Traverse Herald and/or watch a really cool video of a kite skiers on a Michigan lake (which may or may not be Lake Leelanau).

I plan to be at the Derby both days and will have the newest 2007 Sonic kites from Globerider Kiteboarding available for demo to experienced kite riders. The new GK Sonics are the most technically advanced and safest inflatable kites on the planet. Come on out and take a ride -- see for yourself how Sonics can make you a better and more confident rider!
Looking forward to a great event, somebody bring some hot chocolate!!
