DISTANCE RACE

Determined winner for this event is the person who can go the furthest upwind. Nitinaht lake is thermal driven.
The wind touches down about 1 mile up the lake and then weakens beyond that point so the person who makes
it the furthest wins. Beach start.

BORDER CROSS

This year to make this event more exciting we decided to make the course bigger and do a beach start with
everybody goes at once. The top 5 riders to do the most amount of laps in 45 minutes will move on to a
shortened course to race against each other.

THROW DOWN

Non stop action for 2 hours straight. Judged by the crowd. Prizes for top rider, best trick, best wipeout, biggest
air, most amount of tricks and more. No heats, everyone out at once, let’s see who can impress the crowd the most.
