I used to go to Weymouth speed week every November in the eighties. Back then they were struggling to break 30 knots!

Hey giant, why are you carring a plane with you? Put that airplane down! Think about the pilot sitting in it! Most refuse to wear normal 5 point belts, can't even fly inverted.

What kind of board are u using? How many litres? Great Videos!

@WindsurfingTV 6 жыл бұрын

it will be all in the next one... but i was using the New Simmer Style 'Speed Demon' 40 wide.... designed by Aurelio who did antoine albeau's world record holding board :) So i have no excuses!

@WindsurfingTV 6 жыл бұрын

i think it has around 53/55 litres... but with speed boards everyone talks about width

Amazing video! I think you are moving too much..on the last run!. keep it locked in.. in a straighter line.. weight vest might help! Good work though! Wish there was a canal like that close to where i live!

yep.. totally agree... but like said that run was super light! So the holes in the wind were massive... it so hard to explain how downwind the angle is. So as soon as you get a drop in the wind you head up... When it's really windy it's not as extreme... but yes i agree! (y)

Windsurfing.TV Yes I know.. when you are underpowerd you cannot go downwind.. my local speedspot that is flat i can do 36knots totally underpowerd on a 7.9sail.. it feels slow.. but its fast!.. keep up the good work! I love all your videos and humor!!
