30mph record broken

[C. Moore]

It was my own personal best record. I could never seem to break my 30mph record. I sustained 31mph this weekend down in the Islamorada. Tammy and I did a DW with Gabe, Brian May, and Doug. What an amazing weekend. I also had one of my worst wipeouts when trying a speed run. Water hurts more at high speeds, I saw stars for a while. (Seriously)

Sweet!!

Isn't it wild that these guys are making runs almost double that speed. No to take away from the proof that you hit 30, thats quite an accomplishment, I mean with 6 more mph you don't need the board anymore you can start to barefoot. Come to think of it with the kite pulling up a little bit it is not out of the question to give it a run. Next time you are at 30mph kick the board off and head downwind a little and see how far you can barefoot ski with a kite. Good job Chris.

Congrats Chris.

I can't even imagine what it would feel like to hit 50mph. I also wouldn't want to know what it feels to hit the water at that speed either.

Does anyone else know what speeds they have hit? I think Crazy J hit 38 or 40 a while back down in the keys.

I hit 45 yesterday until the old lady in front of me slowed down!

I FEEL like I've gone in the 40's before! :D But it's probably like boosting... hard to judge.

What type of GPS did you use to log this data?

Its water proof but I still carry it in a waterproof pouch. I also put in a 2gb micro sd card. This thing is pretty cool.

Congrats! thats awesome, winds were rippin in the keys.
Do you just wear the GPS on some sort of belt?

[C. Moore]

I stuff it in my pocket of my board shorts. It looks impressive. :P

[theshiatispimpin101]

Man, I got to try that! haha

I remember that day, he hit 38 MPH on a 7 meter Fuel I believe, don't remember what board.

reset your track before you start and get the mapsource software from Garmin
