The new Luderitz Speed Strip ready for action.
The organisers, Sophie Routaboul and Sébastien Cattelan have constantly innovated in their attempt to push the limits, and have recently obtained authorisation to dig a new channel away from the Second Lagoon shoreline, which has been used thus far. This is necessary to make it possible to break the 60 knot barrier (over 500m), which is the new challenge (115km/h under sail).
Camera Used: Gopro Hero HD

  • Looks great and dangerous!

  • Looks like a lot of good work , depth may be questionable? A real shame its a closed shop to the worlds best. If a world record is set it will be very hollow victory.

  • Shame that most of the worlds best have not been invited. It would be a better for all if it was a true open competition and not a closed off record attempt. An open competition would create significantly better speeds due to the nature of competing.

  • Really well put together video.

    Go Basil ;)

    Keep it safe everyone and I hope you get all the wind you need.

  • Nice filming, I love your work.

    Thanks for the well wishes, we'll need them come Monday !

    I've filmed 2 runs down the canal, one taken from a Helmet cam, and the other from the Kite. Both are in full HD.

    Search for "Luderitz 2011 Canal" and "Luderitz 2011 Kitecam" on YouTube.
