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

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
