You will receive a detailed packet for you to keep that includes tons of literature to get you through that first year of riding. You will also receive on CD-ROM a detailed Tampa Bay Ride Guide covering 14 locations throughout Tampa Bay detailing popular places to kiteboard with important information about each spot to keep you safe and on the water for many years to come.
