Looks like 50 knots will fall very soon...
Bjoern Dunkerbeck also posted a personal best time here and is confident that windsurfers will crack 50 soon.

That was over the full 500 m and the new rule of 50 cm water depth, right? (The last is really unfair to kites, though maybe acceptable as a safety thing....)
THat 0.1 knot must be just so frustrating, the sailor who breaks 50 will have a place in history.....
