Whether you are keen to post your gps times or check out how fast Kitesurfers around the world are pushing their kit... check out this site

50knots.xs4all.nl/gps-kitesurfing/gps.asp

The race to 50 knots is on.... can the kites get there first

Windsurfer Chris Lockwood pushed the bar a little higher with a 46 knot average session and 48 knot max speeds... but Dave Trewern also kiting Sandy Point is not far behind!

Craig.....Do you have a death wish? I was in Invercargill last weekend and I'm not so sure it was kiting wind. But the thought did cross my mind that a buggy down the beach might have been a good idea if I had a 1m kite. :roll:

yeah it was very windy

but ok if your heavy and experienced in that kind of wind.

had the 13m fully fully depowered.

now i've got a 10 i'll be looking for even more wind!

thing about the wind was it was quite steady which helps a lot

never seen someone kiting on a 5m waroo before!

Wow - that is fast!

Both Craig and Su are at the speed course down south today - lets hope they get the wind to set some top NZ speeds...

Cheers,

The worst thing is Craig is we had CRANKING W in Ruakaka today, and excellent tides for a Spot-X mission - you and Su would have had a great chance at that 40knot run...

Oh well - next year....
