Well maybe inflatable rails? Something that allows a normal construction 85L board to go to to 100 by adding volume to the rails using a pump?
Or forget air and develop exchangeable rigid rails....

Congratulations on the Win!
Downwind seems to be the only place where Kites have a definite advantage over windsurf, and windsurfs loose the advantage in respect to other sailing vessels. It makes...

Relax and wish them good luck. Just in California, in the last 3 months, there have been 2 deaths and a scary number of VERY close calls.
