The ice fishermen at Strawberry Reservoir won’t know what hit ’em when the Best Kiteboarding SuperFly Open goes down on February 18th through the 21st. Last year’s event happened at Powder Mountain, and for 2011 the venue is moving to Strawberry which is well known among the kiteboarding community as a place with ideal terrain.
Anyone unfamiliar with kiteboarding simply needs to imagine a hybrid between skiing or snowboarding with kite surfing. It looks fun and is gaining in popularity in Utah with more and more people trying it out every season.
If you’re just curious about kiteboarding, or are a seasoned competitor, this event will have something for you. For beginners there are kite clinics and demos, and experts can compete in five different categories. People travel from around the world to participate, and organizers expect 2011 to be even bigger.
A list of scheduled event at this year’s Superfly Open include intro clinics, free ride sessions, kite races, freestyle comp, big air expo, and evening festivities including music, and “Wookie’s Wild Round-up” bar crawl to Park City.
