Rebuild of the Channel

2015 was the last time the event was going on and within the last 2 years the channel almost dissolved. So we had to rebuild from almost scratch (see pics below). We started in August with the rebuild but had to overcome a lot of difficulties, where nature and equipment was challenging us. Finally we where then able to start the competition in October. I have to say a big thank you to all the helpers/workers which made this difficult task work out well.

All the effort payed of with several National Records, Personal Bests and a WORLD RECORD FOR WOMEN – where Zara Davis proved her talent and scills in Speed Windsurfing and achieved an astonishing 46.49knots on 500m!!!

Twan Verseput with 50.05knots and Rob Hoffmann with 50.01knots achieved a sensational result and are know in the 50knots club!!! This with only 35-40knots of Wind. This proved that the channel was faster then in the past, as the water was flatter and the new angle showed better performances in lighter winds.
