yeah...for the most part...every once in a while you would have to bust a right and head back in...and the last 10 miles were more down wind...

is 137km along coastal road or along water? we did a downwinder last summer from Liepaja to Ventspils (110km along road, but it`s a lot straighter than the coastal line). didn`t have a boat or working GPS either. just cellphones tucked up in condoms and a little bit of money. here are some pictures taken on the way from our kites. from 5 at the start only 2 reached the finish. both on waveboards, one strapless.

here is the full story if you happen to understand latvian, just the photos if not. http://www.dde.lv/#/journal/blogs/?id=166" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

anyway full respect to anybody who has hit the 100km mark.. i know what it takes :thumb:
