47.92 Kts
 
It's over! Finian must be relieved, as the clocks went crazy yesterday (10/9) with a run at 47.92 knots for Alex Caizergues with a F-One Bandit 6.5
He just set the new kite world record, at 47.92 knots!!!!(55.15 mph), in Luderitz, Namibia with a top speed at 53.5 kts !
This is the second fastest speed of all time for a wind powered engine on water over 500 meters!

1 extra Kts and kiteboarding will have the absolut top speed which is right now hold by the windsurfer Finian Maybnard with 48,70 noeuds (56.04 mph)
