I would consider 30 on a board to be pretty fast. There's discussion on the flexi forum of a rider who was pushing 50 - that's REAL fast on a board.

I don't know how fast I've gone on my board. I know it always seems faster than it is.

I've been confirmed at 45+ mph on skis 2x and know I was over 50 at least once but it wasn't confirmed. That was darn quick. Can't imagine doing that on a board and dealing with speed wobble.

fastest for me was 41.3mph, but that was on a Dirtsurfer, not a go-slo:lol:

25 mph felt fast enough for me on a grass field :D

I'm thinking 10-15mph for myself, I'm still keeping the speed down. I haven't gotten that feel for smoothing out the lil wobbles yet. Every once in a while it gets the better of me.
