Speaking of records...
Yowza. Russian kite surfers make record books after crossing Bering Strait. No support boat, the water was too rough.

That's a special kind of crazy without a support boat or plane/heli.
I would be kind of interested to know if they were at least wearing transponder beacons.
Glad they made it safe, but could definitely have seen it going waaaaay south in a hurry.

That is awesome..... and it didn't mention how much vodka they brought with for the trip..... unreal the water was to rough for the boats and they
made it.
Kami how about a record run.... Nagasaki to Shanghai? An East China Sea crossing? That would be one for the books!!!
Then Feyd can follow up and bag the largest inland frozen lake in the world.... Lake Baikal..... I wonder what kind of speed record Feyd would set
with a 12 mile run?
