Mahalo my dude,

That is one gnarly oddysea yo. You'll need Pete and Robby to show you the gnarliness.

In all seriousness,
has anyone actually done it? I've been looking everywhere to see if it's been done and there's articles of people talking about attempting it but nothing of anyone completing it. Is it actually possible to do with a kite and a board that doesn't have a foil on it?
what about a kite with a foil? Do you blokes go faster when you have a foil and a kite than the other forms of foiling?
Are big crossing something that you blokes enjoy,
big long downwinders or is that more other board sports like sup,foil etc.

Nah old man I'm not serious about doing it, but am very serious about asking if anyone has done it. If not why not? What am I missing here?

A bloke did a bigger distance in grecee or something like that with a foil sup. Surely a kite foil is better? Do the winds not stay consistent enough for you blokes to travel that far requiring different kite sizes or something?
