He is a big 14 year old!

Cool spot where is it? And nice speed!

Nice spot

vMax 36.7kn.... where was the 40 knot run? Impressive none the less especially for a 14y.o.

The vid was taken the day before he turned 15 .He did 36.7 kn that day.He has previously had a 40+ 1sec and high 39's 2sec I believe.
He is huge,Koester size.What do they feed these kids?
Alex had a leap of 2 knots in speed last month(after the Guy Cribb coarse) ,so I thought I should weigh him again. In the last year he has grown 3 shoe sizes bigger and 12cm taller.He is no longer 33kg.He gained 1 and is now 34kg!
He 'd better concentrate on freestyle.

nice... not sure if I could handle the cold, but maybe if I had a speed sailing spot like that I'd think about it

TAKE NOTE CANTON COUNCIL AND ILLAWARRA IF ANYONE HAS A FEW THOUSAND TON OF CLEAN WAIST I HAVE A GREAT SPOT FOR IT ;-)

St Marie de la mer. Some guys used to do speed there (Master of Speed), before they realised they don't really need to windsurf with temperature so close to 0C, and with only two or three shots at the title per 6 months waiting period.
The wind (named mistral) quite often gets over 40kt there, thought you'd only get 50-60kt a handful of time per year. And it's a cold wind (comes from the Alpes). Even without that, temperatures would be in the 2-7C range at best during winter.




This 14yo older brother is still the U21 and U18 WSSRC record holder with 42,71kt, which he did in 2008 on this same canal during the MOS (the day Albeau did 47.69). Both brothers are/were pretty oversized for their age: 1.95-2.00m and 90+kg.
