Save the Date: MACkite KoGL Test Fest - September 23-25, 2016
If you're not hospitalized, getting married, or dying, we'd best see you all at the beach for the annual King of the Great Lakes Test Fest. KoGL has been growing since its inception several years ago and shows no signs of slowing down. Hosted at the Grand Haven City Beach, the event will run the weekend of September 23-25. This year's event will see all of our kiteboarding brands represented at the beach, each with a quiver full of new 2017 gear that you'll have the opportunity to check out and even ride if you've signed up for the event in advance.
With events that include little competitions on the beach to dinner and a party both Friday and Saturday night, there will be plenty going on for the weekend. If you're from out of town, sign up and book a hotel now - it's always plenty of fun and fully educational if you're hunting after your next gear setup and want to try it before you buy it.
Three tiers of registration:
Spectator (Free Gear Clinics), Party-goer (party access and dinner), and Rider (gear usage and all the rest). Sign up early for a better deal! If you're even remotely interested in trying the new gear, sign yourself up as a rider - the perks are bordering upon endless.
Check out the actual KoGL page at the link below for more information - we'll keep updating it as the event gets closer and closer. The shirts alone are worth the $45, in my very humble opinion. Still not convinced? Check out the video of last year's event and tell me you're not stoked already. Good winds and we hope to see you all there.
