The first women's kitesurfing event was held at at Crandon park beach,Key Biscayne, Miami, the entire day of Saturday March 20th 2004, from 10.00 AM till 7.00PM with litterally hundreds of spectators and participants taking in the picture perfect kitesurfing weather. Tourists and locals alike would stop, pull out their cameras and take pictures of the dozens of kites flying on the waters as hundreds of kites sat ready for action on the beach. With the long lines of each kite, and the sheer numbers of people and kites. Over eighty women signed up for the free clinics for beginners, intermediates , and safety demos, that went on all day. The sponsors gave away prizes that included Airfare for 2 anywhere in the Caribbean, a one week kite surfing vacation in the Carribbean, harnesses, wet suits, and all types of equipment. With the success of this years event, next years women's kitesurfing event promises to be so much larger and even better still. It was truly difficult to believe that this was a first as the organizers and sponsors did such a fantastic job running a smooth session on the air / water.
