I know how passionate you are Steve-O and the same with the man formally known as BoBoTheSafetyClown. Both of you guys are fine examples of instructors taking initiative and doing good things for the sport and community. Thats not to say others that are or aren't instructors don't pitch in. My friend has never held a trainer kite or paddle boarded and still volunteered for Kite4Kids.
My thoughts on the groupon for kiteboarding are that so many people bought it, at the time I saw it was 120 with over half a day left, that there would be more of a scheduling issue for the buyer than anything.
I imagine try scheduling 150 lessons over the course of the season wouldn't benefit the buyer that much. On the other hand, the redemption rate will probably be semi low so it actually might make the guy a lot of money without having to actually give lessons. Who knows???
