I know of the slog and hardship of a land to land ocean crossing by kite.

These guys have taken the complete piss out of the challenge and have the cheek to award themselves trophys. complete joke !

Incredible amounts of arrogance in arriving at the destination on a motor boat, all the participants wearing wetsuits and trying to look involved !

What a complete farce !

Anyone know what the connection is between the challenge organisers - Enable Passion and Blue resorts and Marinas, owned by N.Y based venture capitalists?

Looks like they had a big fall out at the planning stage, with some of the riders pulling out.

Operating a two hour change over- 12 launch/ lands per day on water ,looks pretty impossible on paper. anyone got more info on how they achieve this ?

Interesting to see how the specially designed launch/land platform performs . it doesn't look particularly well thought out, but like to see it in action
