In the past couple of years’ Speed had a big impact on windsurfing history. With the Luderitz canal in Namibia, the overall speed times just rose by about 5 knots. On one of the record attempt, Patrik scored the best result of the event with a time of 51.18 Knots. Even he didn’t break the world record his most surprising result was when he sailed 48.77 knots in marginal wind conditions of 25-30 knots windspeed with a 6.3 sail size.

Patrik: “Just for a test purpose I borrowed a 6.3 from another rider and almost wasn’t able to start in this light wind. After getting on the board I was already happy making the first corner and thought I might need to pump to make it to the end.

The run was rather boring and I was happy to have made throughout the run without stopping. After checking out the speed time I first thought it was a mistake but the time was checked several times and there is no mistake. Ever since I have bright ideas on how to design faster equipment and I will not rest and be again a part of the next Luderitz Challenge”

Today we are happy to be supporting the Prince of Speed organized by Andrea Baldini – Principe that is organizing amazing speed events in the South of France. So if you go really fast sign in to one of his events and break your records.

Shape Details

Scoop Rocker Line

As low a nose as possible to maintain the flattest curve, which reduces friction to an absolute minimum.

Outline

Narrow in the tail to minimise the wetted surface area for maximum speeds and a forward wide point for early planing and control. Not too short in length to enable early planing and to allow the rider to use the smallest board possible.

Bottom Shape

Slight V with double concave and side flats in the nose area and under the mast track for a smoother ride. Slight flat vee in the tail area for maximum acceleration, speed and control.

Deck Shape

A very extreme S-deck shape with a low back foot area, high front foot area and low mast track position to provide the most comfortable and controlled downwind sailing position.

Rail Shape

Thin at the nose and at the mid section to reduce weight. Very boxy rails at the front strap prevent water sucking up the rail and allow the rider to stand tall. Thin and low rails at the back foot enable the rider to to stand lower and have the best water release possible.
