Hi there
2 Vitos, A VW Caddy and an airplane from Germany are all on route to the sandless destination of Luderitz.
Forecast is excellent for Saturday & Sunday, plus the tides are spring high for Hennie on his windsurfer. A chop killer for the entry will be in place, so we should see some PB's and possible world records fall again.
Will be in touch soon.

PS - check out windguru for the new forecast for Luderitz Lagoon 2, Namibia.

Good Winds Set For Monday
The forecast is looking good for today.
Buoyweather is calling for 28kts so the localised weather should kick in to 40 knots or more. After this the period ahead looks light until next weekend.
Will Sjoukje push 40? Will Jerome sneak one in and take the record?
More later.....

Welcome to the Site for the latest happenings @ the 2007 Luderitz Speed Challenge.
We will endeavour to keep this site as live as possible, but please bare with some delays due to the lack of COMS on the event site.
The waiting period is over and after the first 2 days of the Challenge, we are set to take on 2 new World Records in Kite Speed Sailing.
Alex manages a new Men's World Record 44.55kts and has set his eyes on the French Record (outright) next.
Sjoukje is set to push the 40 knot barrier and become only the 2nd women to do this. She recently increased her World Record to 38.44kts.
However, the rest of the fleet is ready to challenge these new records and the scene is set to create a fantastic oppertunity to push the records furter.
