2007 Slalom World Champion Antoine Albeau (Starboard / NeilPryde) has entered the record books after breaking the outright (500m) World Speed Record to become the fastest man on water powered by wind alone.
The barriers now been raised to 49.09 knots which eclipses Finian Maynard’s (F2 / NeilPryde) previous benchmark of 48.70 knots set back in 2004.
Looks like a potential wind forecast developing for Sunday! NNE between 22-25 knots at the moment. Could be good. Check the guru for updates.
A good reason to get airtime
Ok, it’s that time of year when we go and order a bunch of Kona Boards!
If you want to have a look on the website, it is : http://www.kona-windsurfing.com
These boards can be used for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), longboard surfing and light-wind wave sailing and planning, so they are very versatile and will work well in Cayman. I am getting either the 10’5” (145 l) or 11’5” (170 l). If you are going to be using the board for SUP then the 10’5” is good for anyone 150lb or lighter, and the 11’5” for heavier. There is more info on the forum.
