Very good decision not to put music over this. The natural sound adds to the drama 100%.

No one realises how addictive this is till you try it..You end up dreaming about it.

[@piggypiggypig1746]

At that speed a helmet acts like an underwater parachute and has been known to break necks.

[@dlmsarge8329]

Absolutely awesome! I've been extremely lucky to have windsurfed and kite surfed in North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. I really appreciate the dedication, skill and perseverance these guys have. The images of wrecked gear hurt my heart a bit! Lol hope there were no serious injuries.

[@someoneinmyhead]

One of the best about Luderitz. Nicely shows all the grunts and falls behind those record runs. Incredible intensity and back door view:)

[@kbrown4ou]

I had a brand new custom short board destroyed in similar situation years ago. Took the board down by the water before returning to my truck to get my rigged sail. Big gust came and I looked up to see my board flying and then tumbling and smashing into a pile of boulders. I was alone so didn’t have anyone to help me carry my rig. I unrigged the sail, packed it away then gathered up remains of the never-used board and took it to a dumpster. Probably all just as well, I likely would have drowned going out solo in that much wind on an untested board in winter.

I guess it‘s an Insta 360 mounted on a stick on the back of the guy. The software renders the stick away. I‘ve seen something similar in another windsurfing channel.

My first short board was the rocket99.. back in 1983.. I was a strong kid and could hold a lot of sail.. and the spin outs from that board were horrifying. A year later they came out with the rocket96 and it was a little better lol.

Now do it on hydrofoils.

[@patrickswayze2596]

Anyone who I willing to travel at those speeds on any surface on any vehicle with no helmet just proves there’s nothing there to protect to begin with! Great effort dude, real smart 👌

[@AntonRacing]

without helmet is crazy

[@sammcneil1213]

Absolutely, total lack of respect for the sport, to concerned for image. idiots.

[@patrickswayze2596]

Sam Mcneil I skydive, paraglide, hang glide, BASE jump, anything aviation, I have had my pilots license since I was 16, and on my old page before I shut it down, people would say ‘what’s the point of wearing a helmet when your jumping off a cliff’, and same principals, you may not hit the ground but you may strike something! A friend of mine was doing a tandem many years ago, he wasn’t wearing a helmet, another skydiver collided with him and knocked him unconscious, luckily I was so close that I deployed his main, and helped guide him down until he regained consciousness. Poor being, a 55 year old man skydiving for over 30 plus years thought he was immune to risk, but due to somebody else’s stupidity it almost cost two lives that day!

[@sammcneil1213]

@@patrickswayze2596 Awesome reply, unlike you I just kitesurf, cycle . run and row. Kitesurfing is my passion. Prior to this I was in two Mountain Rescue teams here in North Scotland, I have seen first hand, on more than one occasion ,death on the hill, resulting from a small trip stumble and bang to the head. Helmets save lives, simple.

[@patrickswayze2596]

Sam Mcneil if he didn’t have helmet on he’d be dead 100% from that 200kph (120mph) collision!

[@TripleDDDD]

Each his own, but I definetly would wear a helmet.

[@macrumpton]

It seems like the least aerodynamic element is the pilot. I am surprised they don't do something about that.

[@guiserixsacha4520]

well thanksfully there is no catapult type of crash... like the whole mast breack before it happens. Imagine being catapulted at that speed... that would send you more than 5 meters up in the air...

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Doeas anybody know what type of device is installed in the harness lines at 1:36?

Yes, its a quick release system if you get panicky under the sail and cant unhook...

Car crash test are done, at 60km with sit belts and air bags. This guys are doing almost 💯 km. Amazing staff.

[@avaragewanker7823]

What you forget is a car weights 2 tons and a crash test in a wall with 60 km/h simulates a head on crash with another car same size going 60 too.

[@adimuntean71]

@@avaragewanker7823 not the same. In a car crash deceleration occurs in an very short disctance 1-2 meters, depending of vehicle deformation/angle etc. These results in massive G forces, plus direct impact of all surrounding objects. Here, In case of a crash, windsurfer plane on the water untill stop (or hit the shore-in that case it's not very happy). Of course he can be injured by his own equipment, but again the main movement is slide, no sudden stop.
