When I was in my early-mid teens is when the Xgames started, and I used to watch it when ever it was on. Thing is though that sailing in 5kn winds isn't too extreme, or interesting, or fun.
You need to mix the mono's with the cats for the paintball/hurricane/sailing thing to work. I'd watch that.
We have been talking about a modifed short sailing course with film boat in the middle for the next version of the WWF (World Wave Federation).
The key is big wind, 25+. To make this work you can use a surfing type format where there is a range of dates for the event.
This weekend (possibly) we will be covering a kiteboarding race from Jupitor to Ft Lauderdale. They need decent wind from the north, and have a 72, 48, and 24 hour notice if they are a go. If not, they go to the next weekend.
Oh yeah, 25+ and possibly at night, with glowsticks.
