AN OTHER GOOD DAY IN LAGOON 2, LUDERITZ NAMIBIA

Good 40 kts saturday on the speed strip, however the tide was too high when wind picked up and the run was very chopy.


A lot of good results during this session with new riders coming in.
Alexandre Caizergues enters the "All time" WSSRC top 5 & few national kite records were broken again.

We are busy building a chop killer waiting for the next session, arriving maybe at the end on the week

Stay tuned, record attempt on untill 12th of october

Cheers
