Utah Windriders Association

The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) has confirmed the final event and equipment selections for the Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition.
The ISAF Council voted that Kiteboarding will replace windsurfing for the men's and women's board events.

Ya I saw that this morning as well! Looks like windsurfing has been canceled, yet again. Kiteboarding sure has taken the wind out of their sails, so to speak. I would love to make an Olympic bid. Why don't you sponsor me? I'll move to San Fran, go on a diet, and train hard! I'll put a huge "Battery Specialists" logo on my kite? Maybe that and "Rhodes Bake and Serve". I better get down to the swap ASAP and make a proposal!

OK, maybe we 'senior kiters' could gather enough $$ to sponsor you. HOWEVER, ya gotta quit calling us the Grandpas!

So the bumper stickers were harbingers of reality. ;*)

Let's start a sponsorship campaign, Jason! I will join the Battery Specialists and Rhodes Heavenly Rolls race team.

I think Battery Specialists has already spent a bunch on another rider
over the last 10 years, with nothing to show for it, ha.
