yeah... nah...

In reality, you also need to delete the last data-point before the spike, as it will be tainted by the crash.

You didn't do 69kts although sometime it may feel like it in a good catapult. Simple physics... you are doing 30kt, board stops, you keep going (at 30) til you hit the water. Newtonian physics. Now if you had the gps on the top of the mast the GPS may get a decent speed...but that would be the gps speed not your speed. The display speed is a spike no doubt caused by loss of signal...
