I still remember vividly the huffing and puffing of the champion sailboarder and champion kite surfer when both were beaten across the line by a Tornado crew in a 2005 wager at the German boatshow.

"not enough wind or else we would have sailed circles around the tornado" ; was the much heard explanation. For surfers anything under 15 knots of wind equals no wind. I just called it bad sportmanship.




I seem to recall it was the french national champion. Indeed a nobody !
