Here goes Tilmann Heinig unofficially breaking the world speed record in perfect austere conditions in Westerhever, Germany with wind speeds between 35 and 45 knots. It was January 26 and it looks icy cold! Being closer to frozen wind often feels more powerful when it’s cold so perhaps this worked to his advantage.
Over a 500-meter course he averaged 50.9 knots. This world record breaking speed was recorded on his GPS and is recognised by gps-kitesurfing.com. He clocked a top speed of 55.2 knots (102 km/h)!
