Northern Ireland Kite Challenge

And I thought us sailors did some daft things:

A team of Northern Irish kitesurfers are facing their greatest challenge.
To cross the Irish Sea. The team will set aside a week in September 2009, when
the conditions are right the riders will launch from Ballywalter in Northern
Ireland to sail 24 miles to Portlogan in Scotland. Purpose, to help raise funds
for local charities. http://www.kitechallenge.com/
