That was rapid - shout out to the catapulting windsurfer around the 5:20 mark
5:18 You're going so fast the pressure wave hit the windsurfer and made him faceplant lol
Everything above .5 can be rounded up. So it was a 50 Knots! ;-)
That rpm looks very medium aspect. You’d have blown 50 away with a proper higher aspect kite🤘
The fastest kite is not an inflatable if you want to go really fast it's definitely the wrong kite. Can you work out what would be the fastest kite to use ?
Probably not. Probably iko trained and all you know is one type of kite
@@kiteaust why so much hate :D
@@AndiMannott he flys a flysurfer and is rebalancing his bridels, because the kites performance isnt supporting his riding style
@@kiteaust settle down. He was .2 knots from what he wanted to do. On a medium aspect kite.
@@kiteaust Ok so you want to make someone feel stupid? I will give you a taste of your own medicine. @mike smith was spot on, a higher aspect kite like the Ozone Edge would have worked better however saying that foil kites are the answer for breaking records, you're way off the money. Sure they work in the lighter winds and are more suited to giant speed boards like the 3 fin board that James had at the start but when it's blowing 40-50 knots which still seems to be the winds that are required to get to 55+ knots, a foil kite wouldn't survive or the rider wouldn't from the launch. 20-30 knots foil kites can be faster, past that tube kites are way more stable and able to handle mega winds with mega gusts. Also, foil kites like the race kites that are being used for hydrofoil racing are designed to achieve maximum velocity made good (VMG) they are not designed to go much faster than about 35-40 knots (max speed of hydro racers). Last thing, if you're talking about buggy racing kites, yeah good luck launching a 5m in 50 knots of wind.
What would happen if you tried to send the kite up to jump @ 49.88 knots ??
I assume it would result in a crash similar to the one at the end, but on the surface of the moon!
Great video Sam, really nice to see you mixing things up with different spots and disciplines!! I'm sure you'll hit 50 knots the next time you go!
Pretty sick brew! Ripping!
I like to buy a speed board. I find only F-one AC21 and I wonder if there other option for less necessary wind for get going.
Also i want your opinion for a budget speed gps watch
Keep pushing it, mate! We are right behind ya! You are an inspiration for the newcomers! Thanks!!!
Amazing video Sam! Awesome edit and filming. Soooo close to the big 50!
can somebody explain to me how control my speed. I feel when the kite is 45 grades my speed is overpowered then I can't control it
Very entertaining! I hope Darwinism doesn't bite you. hahaha
Awesome video! I was surprised how smooth the camera was during the speed runs. I love that you downplay the speed. Depending on the precision of the instruments, it would be easy to say that 49.88 knots is rounded up to 49.9 knots, and 49.9 is rounded up to 50 knots. Nice work and good luck blowing past the 50 knot mark!
Respect. I'm already looking forward to the next video
Think outside the box
What are the world speed records for windsurfing and kiting?
Broooo no way, I work at the OTC but it was my day off when you came down!!
You crazy son of a ...... Sick Video🤙🏽
crazy fast run and felt that crash in my stomach. Thanks for posting
Mad speed.
How did you get back upwind after a wipeout like that with offshore breeze?
body dragging is key
goodmorning whaitehaired popular low reputation dude
now that looks Quite fcukin TERRIFYING and i thought Windsurfing with a Foil was Scary
Maybe bring out the raptor next time.
Those extreme jumps. Wow.
Why don't you ride on race kite? It can add a couples of knots to your speed? What's a speedy kite in SS product line?
On a foil in 40 kts next time 🤙🤘🚀
That Blonde kid has the brightest english teeth I've ever Seen!! LOL JK Awesome Vid!
Great video Sam. I hope we see some more speed run in the future. I'm sure you would have beaten the 50 mph limit with a Turbine kite. And a modern speed board also would have help.
Not to depress you but a speed run record is on a 500m run and not just the max speed ;-).
You should come in the South of France and meet Alex Caizergue at the Salt and Speed spot. He created this channel in the objective to beat his record.
Keep up the good work !
Nasty crash looks like you could have tangled up in your lines if you were unlucky. 50 knots is super fast, I have recorded myself at 25 knots on a free race board and thought that was super fast :)
Hi Sam,
nicely tried and unfortunately just under 50, it certainly there and even more, but I think you should have had a kite that did not distort as much as what I saw at the RPM on the video. good luck next time and unfortunatelly I recognized your backward kiteloop crash. when i think about it my neck still hurts 🤙🏻. Love your video’s 👍🏻
Nice to see you out at my favourite spot. Impressive speeds from both of you. That looked a properly windy day, and yes, that SW corner is often flatter and windier. The downside is losing kites; unless it's rescued, it'll be chewed up by the harbour wall. 😒
Jesus, that crash. Glad you're fine, mate!
Without any protective gear, that’s somewhat playing the Russian roulette
Was this RPM or RPX?
Why the RPM? Wouldn't you want a more aerodynamic kite?
Congratulation to Jack! And you of course! People don't know how hard is to make such a speed.
Waow ! Which drone do you use ? Nice video !
Lol starting to chase car... and win !
what is the air and water temp?
Non kitsurfer here and to me during all of the speedruns it seemed the kite was quite high off the water - wouldn't you have gone faster if it was closer to the water ?
great video sam nice to see you and james kitesurfing together
Nice keep up the good work 👍. What drone do you used does conditions?. Thanks👌
Nice hair!
We'll let you round up to 50 mph. How accurate are those watches anyway?
Well done - was that on Chesil beach or actually in the harbour ??? Thx
Hi Sam, an other nice video again. With which watch did you measure the speed?
Now that’s a proper wipeout. Looks like my crashes. Cheers mate
Great video. Next time for that 50knts!
🤙🌊 Lovely place...I whant go here too 😍
enjoyed your edit as always!!! banger tune also in the background
Mate, wonder if slingshot make a foil that can get those speeds
Imagine passing the cars on the highway...
Now just imagine sending the kite at this speed :D
Awesome Work Sam💯
I feel the need the need for speed 👌🤩
Even faster than cars...crazy !
nice man, hope u feeling ok and thw whiplash heals soon
mate , awesome vid ! love narrating !
Get a Flysurfer kite
Brilliant.Stay safe
What was the wind speed?
Bloody hell, that last off was a nasty one.
Bloody hell, that last off was a nasty one.
Added this to the bucket list 😃 thanks Sam
dang mate, sick video, keep em coming
Need a video on how the speed board is made.
Holymoly that crash...
Awesome mate
What an amazing Spot!
Love the vids. Keep it up
Yes Sam
5:19 nice mate
That last crash gave me whiplash. Quite amazing you hit near 50 on an RPM, I reckon the Raptor would have been quicker. The real question is what did you get over 500m? ;)
What TT board is good for medium wind speed?
@@ErmisAnargyrosAvgoustidis I've done 41 knots on an Axis Ltd 138. Some have gone a lot faster than me on standard boards though
@@TKM11370 you mean the early axis 2013, 2014, I can’t find this board for sale. Only new models
@@ErmisAnargyrosAvgoustidis I have a 2017 Ltd. Before that I've had a 2015.
@@TKM11370 are the same fast? U suggest me to buy the new axis ltd?
Wow, that crash must have hurt! Good effort on the speed runs 🤙🏻
Especially if not wearing an impact vest. way to go to bruise some ribs 😉
Its not hate. Its open your mind to more possibilities.. . Inflatable kite cant go fast
It looked fast to me
Great effort and video!
Wonder if his extra weight helped him?
Tell me all that theory once you actually tried the right foil kite back to back with an inflatable..
Speculation is very cheap
