Many events in 2010 will be held with the use of GPS timing devices, which enables us to be more flexible on course setting and really go for the good conditions.
The world championships for both Windsurfers and Kiteboarders will be held on Fuerteventura from 28.07.-02.08.2010.
Sjoukje Bredenkamp has set the bar to an incredible 45.20 knots in 2008, beating her own previous record by almost 3 knots.
