Well tomorrow (Friday 4th) there off to start the attempt at the speed record, anyone want to have some guesses at how fast they can will get ?

Official Site

and there off, with a webcam and live video, shame it's currently in German

looks VERY windy on the webcam, shame about the chop, pic below:

Looks good... And just look at that board. Doesn't look as though they've succumbed to the 'wide-style' trend!.

Al.

some pics here, dunkerbeck looks fast

Dubnkerbeck IS fast!!!!

Is there any news on the actual speeds attained yet??

Al.

things seem to be off and flying, Bjorn hit 40.5knts today click here

the wind forecast looks pretty good for the next few days force 8 at least

Of course those Aussie's plan to take the record in a new high tech trimaran

here's hoping that a windsurfer is the first through the 50knt barrier....

The Official Site is now showing highlights when the live video feed isn't running, well worth a look, these guys are going FAST, although not fast enough yet, but the forecast is apprently set to improve for them over the next couple of days

fingers crossed
