- 26 speedsurfers from 3 teams posting sessions on GPSTC
- 19 new personal bests
- Top speed 41.6 knots
- 19 sailors posting 2 second top speeds above 34 knots (9 above 36 knots, 3 above 40)
- A 38.7 knot nautical mile, with 3 posts above 35 knots
- 8 alpha 500s above 24 knots, including 2 above 26 knots
Conditions must have been fantastic - 5 of the windsurfers sailed more than 100 km. The sail sizes used were mostly in the 5.8 - 7.0 meter range, with 6.2 m the most common size. Since most of these guys are "recreational" speedsurfers, it's safe to assume the wind was strong, but not extreme. The closest wind meter I could find (in Rockingham) showed wind averages of about 30 knots:
Most of this happened in Mandurah Bay, about 60 km south of Perth, WA. Here's another video from this spot:
