Sjouke Bredenkamp - OUTRIGHT Women's Record!
Today, the last of the challenge, produced the goods for Sjoukje. Following Alex Caizergues down the strip she produced an epic 42.35kts over the 500m. Winds slamming through @ 40+ and with her 5m Helix she brushed Karin Jaggi's previous best aside with a stunning run.
Also today, her Dad, Hennie Bredenkamp flew down the course and took the African outright record back with a 44.62 kts run adding to his windsurfing record of 42.99kts.
Alex Caizergues pushes his WR to 47.92 kts just shy or the 48kts mark. An incredible feat!
Another fantastic speed from Cape Town based, Italian, Zeno Graziani produced an Italian Record (Kite) 40.93kts. Zeon has been speedsailing for a few months!
Jurgen Geigher produced a personal best and Namibian record of 44.03 making him Africa's 2nd fastest man!

Monday report
Hi there
there was lighter wind conditons on Monday with speeds between 40-44kts over 500m. Conditions were similar to the previous day but never kicked into overdrive.
We already have strong winds of 30 kts @ 10.30am so are all on standby to hit the strip with super strong winds and flat water at medium tides.
Will report more news as and when it comes through.
Cheers
