Hey Yuri, do you call that "riding"?

THE DUEL:

Don, or anybody with a C-kite. I challenge you on a low wind day. Winner is the one who after 4 runs is furthest upwind. I am already at a handicap against Don since at 175 I probably weigh 20 pounds more than he does...

My weapons:
12m Crossbow
Glide
Leo

I think a few more rules would have to be put into place as the limits of each run could go on for a mile. Size of board per rider's weight. If its not matched up then what competition is there? Put Don on a 16 meter kite with a big board with his skill against a 220 person on a 12 meter bow with a meduim sized board?
