South Padre Island, located at the southern tip of the Texas Gulf Coast, has long been a premiere destination for wind and surf. Kiteboarding has become very popular on the island because of the strong steady winds, warm weather, and shallow/calm water of the Laguna Madre Bay. Since the growth of several professional schools, such as Air Padre Kiteboarding – www.airpadre.com, South Padre has also become one of the top locations in the world to learn how to kiteboard.

This is your chance to enjoy the sun, wind and water while having an overall great time during the 2011 SPI Kite Round-Up. Visit www.spikiteroundup.comto pre-register and for complete information.

Anyone going to this? I'm
Anyone going to this? I'm having some thoughts of doing a Wed-Sun thing since I've always wanted to try SPI. Too bad it's not so easy (cheap) to get to from Boston.

I will probbaly not make it
I will probbaly not make it but I have been in SPI 5-6 times.
Love this place!
Brownsville airport is a bit a hassle to get too, but the fact that its only 30 min away from the kite spot, makes well up for it.
If you have to do it cheap. fly to austin or houston and take a rental for the 6 hour drive. Its a hassle, but you will need a rental in SPI no matter what.
If you go, keep sure to go to Ted for breakfast and dirty al for dinner
