ACCESS ANNOUNCEMENT
On behalf of the Lord of the Wind crew we want
to get the word out that the beach road will be
CLOSED to all vehicles/quads beginning Tuesday
from SOUTH of Barracuda Blvd to North of the
event access road in the first arroyo where it
meets the beach. From now on, Barracuda Blvd is
not an event access road for any vehicles
as it is for medical evacuation ONLY. Please
plan to park in the arroyo access road or walk
in from the north or south on the beach at the
fence lines. We are sorry for the inconvenience
but need to protect spectators from dangerous
situations (kite landing zones) and allow
concession vehicles to access their tents 24hrs.
There will be security and staff to insure your
safety enforcing this fenced off area. Please do
not plan to bring any pets into the fenced area,
there are so many reasons including aggressive
strays in the area! Thank you and we look
forward to seeing you all, everyone welcome to
join us at Palmas de Cortez for the opening
celebration Wednesday evening, come get your T
shirts, banquet tickets, posters and more!
