2:30 I could really use the suit!

2 hours, 53 minutes

Great idea Kent!

I bought one of these shorties from Raul in 2001 at the first kite event in Florida in St. Pete. It is real comfortable, warm and very serviceable under the demands of kiting. Great prize!

Here's a question, wonder how many folks will show up in board shorts and rash guards to enjoy the 71 F high and 25 to 30 mph (+?) winds for 2 hr. 53 min. to 5 hours (+ ?) tomorrow? Could be a good time to get a NP wetsuit!

Just got off the phone with Kent and he said he will give away $5,000 to the person who guesses the winner.

5000 SMACKERS!!!

YOW, they've shaken down the Bank Gnomes to raid the numbered accounts in Zurich!

WAY TO GO Kent!

I'm guessing 2 hours and 46 minutes

just to be on the safe side... Neil was kidding about the 5K from Pryde, but... come on where is the Best Kiteboarding of old? Alex... it's only 5K?

I haven't even seen any planes flying around with banners or anything... what gives?

Okay, here's my guess: 3 hours 29 minutes.

Here's how I came up with it.
1st leg of (33miles * 1.2) as figure 20% more riding due to zig zag course from side on shore wind = 39.6 miles ridden / (30 mph riding speed * .8 efficiency from riding over waves) = 1.625
2nd leg is similar except 1.3 as zig zagging more due to side shore wind, and a little slower riding going downwind.

So:
Leg 1: (33*1.2)/(30*.80) = 1.625
Leg 2: (25*1.3)/(25*.70) = 1.857
Total 3.482 or 3 hours 29 minutes

Holy crap I spend way too much time in the cube....

Good luck all, sounds like a blast..... :D :D :D :D
