Something that interests me in this equation is who suffers more -- little guys like me who blow around like leaves, or big guys with more "windage?"

In my experience, big guys (or girls) come out on top because they compensate with power. They even seem at an advantage with a tailwind too, 'cause they have more "sail area."

I might be good in the hills but I sure suck in the wind. And it always blows on the coast!
