KB4girls 2010 World Tour teams up with the Butterfly Effect for event on Maui/Hawaii

The 3rd edition of the KB4girls Tour 2010 is rapidly approaching and set to take place in the tropical paradise of Maui, Hawaii from April 9 to 11. With its amazing kiteboarding conditions, the emerald waters of Maui promise a great venue for the event and offer participating girls a chance to bring their kiteboarding skills to the next level. The KB4girls Maui date is the first of three American events in the 2010 tour schedule, offering female kiters from around the United States the chance to join and learn from the champ.

The Kite Club Maui will be supporting the event as a local organizer to ensure the girls have everything they need, just as with last year’s clinic with Kristin Boese on Maui. Gretta Kruesi will also be on the team for the KB4girls Maui clinic and will help promote the event as well as co-instruct and support Kristin during the event, which will be an important part of the camp.

But this event has even more to offer! To support the female athletes as much as possible and to offer the participants an amazing program and every reason to make their way over to Hawaii, KB4girls has teamed up with the Maui based water women program “Butterfly Effect”.

The “Butterfly Effect” organizes downwind runs for female athletes of all watersports and will be using the KB4girls clinic as a platform for their kiteboarding participants to prepare for their event in July.

Tatiana Howard, founder of the Butterfly Effect says: “I am really excited to have KB4girls involved. I think the clinic Kristin is running will be perfect to get the girls ready and confident for our Butterfly Effect in July. I would encourage all kite girls to take part in the KB4girls clinic, learn new tips and tricks, and soak up all the advice. You will be able to enjoy The 4th Annual Butterfly Effect 2010 even more after this intensive training because you will be shredding down the north shore of Maui with new skills.”

Due to the limited space on Maui’s beaches this KB4girls event can only accommodate 20 participants in order to guarantee the safety of all riders. All those interested are urgent to book as soon as possible. Registration is open on www.kb4girls.com/schedule/usa-maui.html and will close on April 1. As usual the $30 registration fee will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation and towards the protection of our oceans and beaches.

BILLABONG PRO MAUI

Zosia — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:02:39 +0000

Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Will Be Decided at Honolua Bay in the Contest Season Finale.

Held at one of the world’s best righthand reef waves, the event offers a $90,000 purse while the competitors are housed in the luxury of the Kapalua Villas. Not only does the Billabong Pro Maui crown the Van’s Triple Crown Winner, may also decide the 2009 Women’s World Champion as well. This year that honor will have a nice bonus as the Triple Crown has added a $25,000 bonus to the women’s Triple Crown champion.

Billabong athletes from around the world will be coming to compete at the final stop of the ASP Women’s
World Tour: Brazil’s Silvana Lima (who is vying for the World Title) Australia’s Rebecca Woods and Paige Hareb from New Zealand. Hot Hawaiian local Billabong team rider Alessa Quizon will compete in the Billabong Pro Maui Trials to hopefully secure the lone wildcard into the ASP Women’s World Tour event. One main event wild card will be awarded to the winner of the Trials which features six local Hawaiian competitors.

To kick off the event Billabong will be hosting a live concert with Donovan Frankenreiter, The Unifires, and DJ Keala Kennelly at The Ritz Carlton, Kapalua on December 7th.
