Another World record for Antoine Albeau : 52.5 kts !!!

www.facebook.com/luderitzspeedchallenge/?fref=ts

Watch reports live!

New women world Record to Karin Jaggi as well! 46.31 knots!

Conditions look the best since the last World Records in 2012. High water level, Wind more SE so not too broad which makes the water flatter and absolutely insane wind!

he must be awfully close to a 55 knot peak speed since he went over 54 peak on his 51.5kt run earlier!

From the very short time between A2's runs, it looks like most others are standing back to allow a few of them to go for it!

Or maybe it is just too strong and wild for most!

Me too!

I can't understand why quite a few others are not running? Or is it just not being reported?

Awesome effort but they need to sort out what's holding them back because in reality they are only going as fast or bit slower than the wind speed

I think they are saying the average wind speed is around 40 knots.

Here is the run results for the day. I am amazed at how many run A2 made!

Also a bit surprised that some others made so few runs.

It looks like he had eight runs but could not better that speed.

Manfred Meles number is on the list and he had permission from the organisers to run but Christian Bornmann protested and he was prevented from running.

I think that is disgraceful! The politics of money and privilege rule again.

This again confirms my opinion that the WSSRC is set up to cater for money and privilege and the rules are geared towards protecting those who have it. IMO, that is not Sport.

What was the protest for? Was it justifiable?
I can't think of a reason for protesting someone out of the comp and haven't seen anything about it anywhere...?

What an amazing and supremely talented athlete this man is - the control he shows in the video sailing in conditions that would be impossible to imagine for 99% of windsurfers, is mind blowing. So locked in - just way better than anyone else, unbeatable.

Trois hourras per Antoine!

Excuse my ignorance, but who is Christain Bornmann and why does he have influence?
