  • wow!!!! extreme speed!!!!!!nice music!!!

  • @damned1997 I wish they'll do some speed record attempts again very soon !

  • what song is this. please tell me!!!!

  • @ff3508 backtrack of Jerry C's Canon Rock (adapted from PAchelbel's Canon). As written at the end of the video ;)

  • how can they make anything faster than that; how can the heavy hydroptere be faster? The counterwieght ratio to the weight of the craft CANNOT be any more than something like this.

  • the ratio between sail size and drag is better thanks to the foils for the hydroptere.

    Thanks to the foils hydroptere can sail in rather choppy conditions while windsurf need really flat water.

    The drag in windsurf is pretty poor, but the windsurfer has no mechanical means to handle the sail...

    In another hand, excepting the masters of speed there are not a lot of attemps to break the record in windsurf... neither brains to enhance the sailing conditions to break records.

see all
