NEW Title - Kiteboarding Champions Of All Florida?

[Gebi]

Pretty cool idea to have overall winners categories for Florida and it could escalate to National Championship levels once a schedule is made for the upcoming years events.

Possible categories

1. Freestyle
2. Big Air
3. Course racing- (Upwind/down wind racing)
4. Downwind/Long Distance racing
5. Speed
6. Border cross

For example for course racing and Downwind racing you could weight events by the number of competitors entered so the 07 Jupiter event would carry more points than the Naples to Ft. Meyers race.

any ideas?

Now you're talking, good list of disciplines. Regarding coming up with the weighing factors. Aside from number of competitors, what other things make an event harder or easier? Wind comes to mind, too much or too little. What about having a short tiered scale of weighing factors related to wind range? This could be making things too complicated of course particularly with multiple day events.

p.s. - Hey Gebi, that scooter free diving video that I shot on the drop off that I was telling you about is at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=4615 May give it a go again on Sunday if too much wind doesn't come up
