Another sunny day on Sotavento Beach, Fuerteventura. The wind only came up a little bit in the evening, so the riders were released in the afternoon already. The forecast for the upcoming final three days of the 2008 Speed Windsurfing World Championship is very good, so the race committee decided not to start in marginal conditions.

Pascal Maka was the first one taking the crown of speedsailing to the windsurfers. He now organizes record attempts.
We are happy to announce that the final ranking of the Luderitz Speedsailing World Record Attempt, taking place from the 15th of September till 13th of October, will count towards the PKRA Speed overall ranking. Thus the 2008 world champion will be crowned this year during this special event, in the best conditions and the highest speeds. The average of the two fastest speeds will count for the event ranking, whenever they are set on the 4 week record attempt period. More details will be published shortly.
