What about a little land racing or freestyle work in city location to promote sport. I've been playing on landboard to practice freestyle moves. Great fun. Easy to take to general public ie docklands or even fed square. Min wins needed. Check out this video on YouTube:
Nick - with your background you didn't feel sorry for the windsurfers and go easy on them
Good to see from the pic the windsurfer is taking the wind out of the X40's sail
Love the promotional vid on the X40's - finally making sailing a bit of a spectator sport.
