Congratulations to Antoine Albeau F192 !

On 01.December 2024 the French legend broke his own record from 9 years ago. Today the official windsurf speed world record is 53.49 knots or 99.07 km/h!

In 2024 Luderitz was the place to be for all speed specialists. The past few years delivered awesome conditions but not quite good enough to break records. This year also started quite mellow but winds got stronger and stronger the longer the Luderitz Speed Challenge lasted. On top of that, Antoine had to settle accounts with the speed spot that threw him off and injured him last year.

Wednesday 27.November alarm bells sounded for the first time: Antoine scored a new GPS world record of 53.38 knots ! This news spread like wildfire. But after video analyse, this reading had to be corrected to 52.98 knots or 98,12 km/h –>
World Record:
the fastest speed ever recorded on a production board: the JP SPEED 40.

Sunday 01. December was THE day: Antoine Albeau F-192 scored ten runs faster than 50 knots, three of them faster then 53 knots !

Many records were broken on this day:

* Men’s Word Speed Record by F-192 = 53.49 knots or 99.07km/h

* Women’s Word Speed Record by K-96 = 48.58 knots

* German record G-2 = 52.62 knots

* South African record SA-89 = 45.83 knots

…and the Luderitz Speed event is still running:
On Monday 02.December Antoine scored eight more runs faster than 50 knots !
On Tuesday 03. December F-192 scored ten more runs faster than 50 knots, five of them faster than 52 knots … and counting …
