Lüderitz Speed Challenge, the last day

16/12/2025

With you, we continue

Saturday, November 29 will remain one of the most memorable days of this year's Lüderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia. The weather models predicted favorable conditions, without promising anything extreme. However, from dawn onwards, the wind blew strongly and relentlessly. In town, the sand flew and, very quickly, excitement spread among all the participants.
The first starts were launched around 11:30 a.m., and the times only improved as the hours passed. In the early afternoon, Antoine Albeau raised the bar with speeds dangerously flirting with 50 knots. Around him, Cédric Bordes, Vincent Valkenaers, Gunnar Asmussenand Brendan Lorho joined in a high-level battle. Among the women, Jenna Gibson impressed with her mastery in these challenging conditions, while Heidi Ulrich kept pace with solid, consistent runs.
After a more difficult phase marked by chaotic chop and a few scares, the wind underwent a decisive shift in the middle of the afternoon. Antoine Albeau took full advantage of this and clocked the fastest run of the day and of this edition with 52.25 knots, widening the gap. Attempts continued until the end of the day, without changing the rankings.
A few weeks later, we look back at November 29 in a video that captures the best of Lüderitz: total commitment, extreme performance, and mutual respect between competitors pushing the limits of speed in windsurfing.
