Saw this article in Outdoor magazine, thought I'd share, hope it's not a repost.
Don't know if I want to slam into a fishing pier at 20 mph, nor doing top-end 60mph speed runs in a 1 foot deep 6 foot wide purpose build ditch, but
this is an interesting read for speed nuts.
Good article, I remember seeing footage from that trench in S. Africa, some insane and dangerous stuff! Would like to have heard the sailors point of
view on letting kite surfers in on the sailors association. I bet some of them would think that it is an unfair advantage, since we have so little
drag compared to a sail boat. Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.:bigok:indigo_wolf - 11-4-2013 at 12:55 PM
Luderitz is a special flavor of Looney Tunes....
Shallow water, huge water plumes...
There's time lapse video at the end of the 3rd clip of them building the trench.
