Members are already benefiting from this new craze. Henri Asseily (SAS'92, WG'96), CTO and Co-Founder of Southern California based BizRate.com has very little time between juggling a zillion engineers and a family. But every free moment he manages to squeeze is spent doing one thing - chasing the wind.

"The addiction is beyond anything I can explain. Over time I have learned that the moment the trees start moving I begin to skillfully delegate all my tasks to my team. It's tough because the wind doesn't schedule itself around my 4 o'clock board meeting. But soaring 30 feet above dolphins, or destroying a 6-foot Malibu lip under a pink sunset is what it's all about." says Asseily.
