A historic 1st December!

01/12/2024

After the false joy of 27 November (see our article of 28 November 2024), this 1st December is the right one for Antoine Albeau on the Lüderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia!
At the end of this Sunday on the Lüderitz Speed Challenge canal, the 11th day of the attempt, Antoine Albeau is making one run after another at more than 53 knots, three in total including one at 53.64 knots! As was the case last Wednesday, the video checks were essential, with a validated time of 53.49 knots. So it's official, Antoine Albeau has (finally!) beaten his windsurfing world speed record and the 53.27 knots achieved in 2015!!!
Also of note on Sunday was the fine performance of German Gunnar Asmussen with 52.69 knots (52.83 knots before video check), now the third best performance in the world. Frenchman Brendan Lorho's perseverance finally paid off, as he finally managed to break the mythical 50-knot barrier twice with 50.62 knots (again after video verification)... In the women's race, England's Jenna Gibson continued her momentum and beat her record set just a few days ago (47.48 knots) with a time to be verified of 47.58 knots!
9 years after his previous record, Antoine Albeau is writing a little more windsurfing history with a reference time and an average speed of 100 km/h over 500 metres that is now very close.
