Best Bus Rolls into Squamish!!
If you have ever surfed, snowboarded, wakeboarded or skateboarded and always wondered what was going to be the next hi-octane sport to break through into the mainstream, then here is your chance to check it out!
Kitesurfing combines the skills and thrills of the established board sports with the aerial acrobatics of paragliding and it’s perfect for people of any age. If you want to get involved, then there is no better way than to meet up with the Best Kiteboarding RV Tour!
Our 40 foot promotional RV, packed full of the latest kitesurfing equipment suitable for anyone from absolute kite beginner to experienced kiter; will be rolling into town in August. The RV will be located in Squamish, British Columbia at Skypilot Kiteboarding, on Monday, August 13 and Tuesday, August 14, 2007. This great location gives us access to the water and the close support of our friends from Skypilot Kiteboarding, as well as giving you the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest kitesurfing equipment from Best Kiteboarding, the world’s largest kitesurfing company.
At Best Kiteboarding, we live sleep and breathe the sport, and we think once you try it you will too. If you want to give it a try or just come on down and find out what it is all about we will be only too pleased to see you!
