[@fedup3449]

I used to go to Weymouth speed week every November in the eighties. Back then they were struggling to break 30 knots!

Great video Ben, more clips with you and Bjorn - excellent stuff.

[@vincenzodipisa3237]

Look how much timber has Bjorn Dunkerbeck put on! Middle life has not arrived just for me...keep it up Ben

[@larsh6159]

nice vid man, I enjoy watching and I will stay tuned😉

[@JSDudeca]

Once again fantastic videos ;)

[@Lozzie74]

First sailor he interviews... Bjorn Dunkerbeck. Holy crap!

[@voornaam3191]

Hey giant, why are you carring a plane with you? Put that airplane down! Think about the pilot sitting in it! Most refuse to wear normal 5 point belts, can't even fly inverted.

[@Huckaby]

Thanks for documenting this - great job! Wear a helmet.

[@tubby_dug]

Do you reckon you will end up in the 50knt club? (max or otherwise)

[@thegibbonisreal]

1st rule of 50knt club..........

[@WindsurfingTV]

lets see... it's a pretty elite club so i doubt it. The 50 peak would be a dream haha

[@tubby_dug]

Windsurfing.TV congrats on reaching it. Love all the vids you have been doing. Keep smashing it Ben

[@denniz122]

What kind of board are u using? How many litres? Great Videos!

[@WindsurfingTV]

it will be all in the next one... but i was using the New Simmer Style 'Speed Demon' 40 wide.... designed by Aurelio who did antoine albeau's world record holding board :) So i have no excuses!

[@WindsurfingTV]

i think it has around 53/55 litres... but with speed boards everyone talks about width

[@hossor123]

Amazing video! I think you are moving too much..on the last run!. keep it locked in.. in a straighter line.. weight vest might help! Good work though! Wish there was a canal like that close to where i live!

[@WindsurfingTV]

yep.. totally agree... but like said that run was super light! So the holes in the wind were massive... it so hard to explain how downwind the angle is. So as soon as you get a drop in the wind you head up... When it's really windy it's not as extreme... but yes i agree! (y)

[@hossor123]

Windsurfing.TV Yes I know.. when you are underpowerd you cannot go downwind.. my local speedspot that is flat i can do 36knots totally underpowerd on a 7.9sail.. it feels slow.. but its fast!.. keep up the good work! I love all your videos and humor!!

[@thegibbonisreal]

Jones says "why double back strap"? I says where is Patrik?

[@WindsurfingTV]

no clue.. looks cool :) ...he's not here!!

[@MarcHillM]

Great videos. Can I ask where you license your music from?

[@DumbledoreMcCracken]

Aeropants

[@s177p]

Hehey!! Cool!

[@ОлегСтар-ф2щ]

Русских нет?

[@Mouldy99]
