It would be cool to do this, a buddy and I are going to kite from Newport RI to Martha's Vineyard, 60 miles. This one sounds better, at least warmer!

2007 naples kite reunion ( pier to pier ) map observation
atten: check the map http://www.swfloridakiteboarding.com/downwindmap.htm
Race Course and Possible Conditions a. If it is an open water race, wear a waterproof watch to track your spot along the race. b. Pick your line. Sometimes near shore (on a downwind race) seems like the fastest smoothest route. But, if you take one wipeout inside the shorebreak then you are going to spend the next 15 minutes trying to get your board back. REMEMBER.. Body dragging to the board takes 30 minutes of race energy even if it only take 5 minutes of actual time. Losing your board wears you out.. Period. c. Know the race course. Is it open water? Are you following a boat? Is it down the shoreline? If so, which foot will you be riding forward. Practice riding that foot forward. d. Learn to ride toeside comfortably. This will help to relieve your thighs when they start to burn. e. Make practice runs. If you are lucky enough to live near the event then make practice runs beforehand. If you are traveling to an event try to come a few days early so you can run the course before the race. Locals have a huge advantage over riders unfamiliar with the waters. f. Check weather for possible changes in wind speed or direction prior to race. by Jayson Orkins check the map http://www.swfloridakiteboarding.com/downwindmap.htm
