One of the world’s most fabled windsurfing events is the 25-year old Highland Spring HIHO, a eight-day adventure and stage race that visits multiple islands in the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands and circles the entire island chain. The 2009 event, set for June 28-July 5, starts and finishes on Tortola. The 25th Anniversary event features 142 entrants from over 14 countries, 50 who will be racing while the rest are there for the pure experience of taking a unique private tour of the islands via a fleet of Moorings 43’ to 46’ Catamarans.  An O'Pen BIC providing this youth sailor with the thrill of sailing up the famed City Front breakwater in San Francisco, CA. This was part of the O'Pen BIC Energized Sailing Tour (sponsored by The Black Dog, Ronstan, North Sails) that stormed up the West Coast visiting junior programs from Newport Beach to Vancouver BC. The tour is now swinging thru Chicago en route to the North East for July/August.  Kitesailing is pretty cool, but it is really cool when you dress up as a superhero. Here we find Spiderman rolling with his posse.  We say that if you are going to do crew gear, go all the way and make a statement like the Swan 42 Bandit did this year at Block Island Race Week.
