Thanks for the link to the photos; makes me think about how awesome that place is for kiteboarding. PERFECT conditions.

Your friend was right, there were a lot of give aways. Not at the beach, but at the raffle & dinner on Saturday night. I posted a message a couple days ago about the companies (and I realized I forgot to mention Slingshot), but they gave away boards, clothing, backpacks, lines, etc.
During the day, many of the companies had kites and boards that you could demo--very nice!
SPI is a great location although some of the competitors wanted the judges (who were on the water's edge) to be located at least 50' offshore so they could do their tricks in more than a foot or two of water--some came down pretty hard.
