Kite surfing (boarding) speeds

I never hear any conversations about how fast people go on water besides the frozen variety. Do you water guys ever carry a GPS with you and keep track of your average or max speeds? I don't kite on soft water so I often get curious how fast you soft water guys are going when on a kite and board. What's average? What's considered fast? It would be cool to see a speed ranking for the soft variety of water, not just the frozen lake kind of ranking.

That's some crazy stuff right there...

I have no interest in speed runs, but am curious about my normal speeds, I need to put my Garmin to work...
