Actually any new people that want to come fishing with us have to ride the Kicker to show they are made of the right stuff, we will set it up on a popular yak launch site and sort out the men from the girls :D

What I want to know is do you use an olympic score system? Points for
difficulty, distance, and artistic expression.

Set it up on Steep Point. That will definitely separate the men from the boys (and arms from torsos, legs from hips......)lol
