A good way to share and compete is by uploading tracks on sportstracklive com.There is full performance analysis and charting available.

Ich frag mich immer wieder warum du den Kite nicht zurück lenkst, da hätteste 2 Rekorde mit einer Klatsche geschlagen. Nebenbei find ichs obergeil wie die ganzen Windsurfrekorde verballert werden :D Fett!

Who would have bet there was so much potential in kitesurfing just 10 years ago ?

Now if they put as much into research as what was invested in yellow pages, kitesurfing should reach 55 pretty soon and why not 60 in the not so far futur?

[tilmann13]

no problem to reach 55 with current gear - just add more wind...

[speedsail11]

Congrats. The multihull sailors will have a hard time to do better. Now we want to see 60+ !!!!

[grumpybowman]

this is amazing, and he should be congratulated on pushing the boundries, but records must (and need) to be ratified by an independent body...

huhh haa "made in germany"

ma schauen wat mit wind , wasser und board noch so alles geht

[wildblue2]

i just knew a kiter was gonna do it, is it official?

[rekordtv]

it's not official, but most of the speedfreaks don't care. No way for a jury and speedcameras at this place.

[PonuryMarian]

that looks like fun...

[upabittoolate]

youre dog on right it looks fun. i cant wait to get back to chicago & do that shit in the spring

[Carve111]

Yeah right, it's cool to say I'll do that. The truth is, you'd shit your pants even trying to launch your kite in that wind. Takes a little more than a wannabe kiter.

[yoo972]

on a pas l'impression qu'il est à la barre des 50kns.... en tout cas ça va vite....mais ça va surtout vite faire du bruit dans le milieu du speed (kite et windsurf confondus !)

Moin Tilmann, gratuliere! 102,2 km/h Topspeed, der Hammer! LG Annine

[midal03]

50,9 knots = 94,27km/h - but still real freakin fast!! :)

[Ballerhans]

topspeed isn't the same as average speed....
