I sent out invitations to a small list of 2007 Summit participants and a few industry people and the industry is taking notice. Windzup and Ozone will be putting information about the site in their weekly news and others are starting to spread the idea. If you received the initial email or had it forwarded to you…Welcome! I am excited to have you visit the site and hope you will see the value in having a central forum for communicating with fellow snowkiters about the challenges, issues, and successes we are seeing in snowkiting. Please sign up on the forum and speak up. Your ideas and thoughts are important and will directly impact the course of snowkiting as it develops into a major sport and industry. There are lots of ways you can participate. If you are a retailer, speak up and discuss the challenges facing you as a retailer in the Retailer Forum. As an instructor, this is a brave new world. PASA and IKO have snowkite certification programs, but do they serve your needs? A new certification program is currently being developed. What would you like to see included in a teaching standard? What do your students want? The key to successfully growing the sport of snowkiting is to provide an easy path to quality instruction. Share your thoughts in the Instruction Forum. If you are exploring new areas and new techniques, there are forums dedicated to helping you share your experience and learn from others. Thanks for your participation!

I am happy to announce the launch of SnowkiteSummit.com. I am putting it right in the middle of the wind window and letting her rip! I hope you find the site and the events useful and a benefit to the snowkiting community. I look forward to your participation and your input.
