First in the world over 40<br />
knots!<br />
Manu Taub has done it again! He has broken<br />
the world speed record, and this time he<br />
managed to pass 40 knots after the annoying<br />
result of 39.79 knots in Leucate earlier this<br />
year. <strong>The</strong> new record reads 40,53 knop and<br />
was made the July 29 during the world speed<br />
challange at Sotavento, Fuerteventura. With<br />
several other runs at high speed he also took<br />
the first place in the competition followed by<br />
Sebastien Cattelan. Congratulations!<br />
Boarder cross<br />

During the PKRA event at Sotavento,<br />
Fuerteventura, a new discipline called boarder<br />
cross was born. <strong>The</strong> competitors were divided<br />
into 4 men heats and sailed a specific course,<br />
turning around buoys, jumping obstacles and<br />
doing predefined tricks on the way. <strong>The</strong> finish<br />
line consisted of two sausages. If a rider<br />
managed to jump over both sausages he or<br />
she was declared the winner of the heat<br />
(assuming no one had done it before). If none<br />
of the riders jumped over both sausages the<br />
first rider over the line was the winner.<br />
