i'm not sure but looks like kitesurfers reached these speeds peaks for a while already. And they still own the outright record till now...

That's some high wind. They're pretty much sheeted out the entire way.
I do the b&j thing, windsurfing gives you great TOW and speed in modest conditions, but even Jim Drake admits that 100 km/h is probably the limit of fin tech. Kite users are starting to think about 120 km/h and i think they'll get there before anyone else.

I think 50 knots can be reached on a windsurf board. This day the trench was way too choppy, there were loads of weeds (check the beginning of the video, wind was really gusty and it was freezing cold. So i'm sure they can do a lot better if they find the "perfect spot", just as kitesurfers did at Luderitz !

Do you happen to know if anyone in Mexico has broken the 45 mph mark in Windsurfing. I plan on moving there. thx

i've never heard of any mexican speed sailor, and i don't think any of them ever made an official run over 45 knots. I know B. Dunkerbeck was expecting to go to Oaxaca to do some speed record attempt though.
