Hi guys,
read the blog, Finian must be getting nervous! How quick are the max speeds!!!

Interesting looking at the results of the survey too, definately most people think a kite will break 50 before a board will. Hydroptere will most likely have something to say about that too I'm sure.

Sorry to hijack the thread but Sjoukje Bredenkamp is a spunk!

Things just got quicker!

With her run Sjoukje beat Karin Jaggis old womens world record. Not bad for an 18year old girl on a kite.
