Kiteboarding World Speed Record
iterboarder David Trewern unofficially broke the World Speed Record in kiteboarding yesterday, according to his post on NWKite.com. The details of the crossing are:
Best 500 meter average: 44.81 knots (3.02 knots faster than WR)
Max speed (1 second interval) = 48.599 knots
Max speed (2 second interval) = 47.099 knots
(From GPS-Results)
The average of Trewern's five best 500 meter runs was 42.91 knots. He says, "I convincingly beat the world record on 4 out of my 7 runs. As you can see this is a very convincing margin."
Trewern rode a prototype speed, his first time on it, in only 22-28 knots of wind. It was high tide at Sandy Point, where he was riding. Not ideal, but "the angle was good."
Andrew Daff, a local speed sailor, was on hand as a witness, recording Trewern's tracks on his computer.
