Hi There :)
If you are on this page it means you're one of my special people who has received an invite to join me on my adventure birthday in Oahu. This week is about kitesurfing, adventures and having a good time with great people.
OUR BASE: KAILUA BAY
This year, we will use Kailua as our base as it is the most convenient location to hit all the kite spots and highlights of the island from.
We recommend you stay as close as possible to Kailua Beach Park where we launch and land our kites.
Sammy's Aloha Watersports
We're teaming up with one of Susi's old buddies and pro-Dominican windsurfer, Sammy, who transplanted to Hawaii and now runs a one-stop fun shop for all things water related. He will take us out on SUPs, surfing, etc :)
AGENDA
