kitesurfing: Barack Obama vs Richard Branson

Former President Barack Obama who is on his vacation  in the British Virgin Islands.

According to a blog post from Branson stated that Branson challenged Obama  to a kitesurfing competition.

The rules:

Obama would try and learn how to kitesurf, while Branson would try and learn how to foilboard (an advanced type of hydroplaning surfboard). The two would then see who could surf the longest on their respective watercraft.

And though Branson has long been known for his adventurous exploits, the former president was no slouch in the water. He bested Branson by traveling over 100 meters on the kiteboard, to Branson’s 50 meters on his foilboard.

“Being the former president, there was lots of security around, but Barack was able to really relax and get into it,” Branson wrote.
