Do I know him personally??? No. I just cut and pasted that from the Masters of Speed site.

Albeau is a windsurfer, world champion in slalom and waves a few times I think. Apparently the kites were going to have a go at the Trench for the first time ever today, so I wouldn't count on the record holding for long!

Here's a link to a short article with pic, and more links inside. http://www.boards.co.uk/main/article.asp?a=2621
