Just got a call from Enrique or Latino on the forum with a good idea. Enrique organized the recent successful Pier to Pier distance race, Naples to Ft. Myers. His idea consisted of tracking say the top ten kiters in each of notable competitions in Florida, like the Pier To Pier Race, 60 mile Jupiter To Ft. Lauderdale Race, Jupiter Kiteboarding Invasion, the upcoming Tampa Bay Kitemasters and other substantial contests that happen this season. I would put the top ten in each of these events into a table posted on this site. A final list of ten (or so) riders would be calculated from the table across all the events. Maybe some sponsors might even toss in some swag. I am fairly certain we could get the "Florida Champion" winners covered in some kiting magazines. We could make this an annual event. Florida seems to be leading the nation in contests right now, certainly warmer here to allow them to occur. Also, sounds like a great reason for a late or just after season party. Could even tie in a photo and video contest of the season's happenings.

What do you think? How about ideas for how to score this considering that we may want to allow for not participating in all the events listed in the table. Or, maybe not, something to consider. Also, what should we call it?

Thanks Enrique, good idea!
