12 Oct 2010 : Tsunami Tuesday – Hydroptere Record Smashed!

It’s official – after today the Hydroptere is no longer the fastest sailing vessel. It’s previous record of  51.36 was broken numerous times today by Kite surfers!
2nd Lagoon Luderitz lived up to all expectations today with many new records being broken.

Scores of competitors dramatically improved on their Personal Best sailing speeds and 5 competitors reached 50 knots and more!

Winds of around 40 were recorded. The new Speed Channel is proving to be a definite winner for competitors. Once again the organizers of the Luderitz Speed Event have produced record breaking conditions for competitors to be recorded in the Speed Sailing Hall of Fame.

We are waiting for speeds to be officiated by the World Speed Sailing Record Council

(WRSSC) to officiate these incredible new speed sailing times, which will be released later tonight. We shall share these historical results with you as soon as the WRSCC officiates them!

  • 6 Fantastic photo. Awesome power carve on the wave face. You can see it's windy and blown out for surfing. This is a photo that would make Surfers want to buy a kite to get more waves. Where are you kiting?
