Congratulations !
I agree with Phreerider than kite control must be the main issue at such speed...

The things that sometimes go wrong over 50 mph and the things I am able to do to correct them in a buggy, aren't available when your roll center is just above your ankles and you are standing up. Gusts and luffs would probably send you tumbling, and that would be for some considerable distance at more than 50 mph. The trouble is double when you increase from 50-60 mph.

is this a world speed record?



Speak to Popeye, he might be better able to help. As I understand it for kite buggies you need 3 GPS units to confirm a world record, although 2 might be allowed.

Does he have any pictures of the GPS units and witnesses ?
I'm in no doubt from seeing the video that this is fast as he says.

Speak to popeyethewelder.com

I love this sort of video showing the sand skipping down the beach.

I noticed the wind direction and judging by the graph it looks to me like an almost direct downwind record breaking run! The wind was blowing hard that day!

Wind speed vs rider speed ratio was probably 1/1 or less??
I got my last few PB's in wind speeds nearing rider speed. We need more room or bigger kites!! :Ange09:

Weldone. :)

I can confirm Dennis's Speed is a world record, I have all the criteria needed, gps logs, video witnesses, photos of two GPS units, (the record was taken from the lowest reading)

His and other landboard PBs are now collated on popeyethewelder.com

details below
