Patrik Speed 2023

In the past couple of years Speed Windsurfing had a big impact on windsurfing history. With the Luderitz canal in Namibia, the overall speed times went up by about 5 knots. In one of the record attempts, Patrik Diethelm scored the best result of the event with a time of 51.18 Knots.

Even though he didn’t break the world record himself his most eye-opening result were his 48.77 knots in marginal wind speed around 25 knots on an over 6 sqm. sail. Patrik Diethelm: “Just for fun I borrowed another rider’s 6.3 and could barely start in the light winds. I was happy making it dowwind around the first corner. The run felt slow and almost boring and I was happy to reach the finish without stopping. So far my feelings during the run. After getting the official timing of 48.77 knts I could not believe it. Since then I have bright ideas on how to design faster speed equipment.”
