Will be interesting to see how the windsurfers go this year in the new channel, which is supposed to be deep enough for them.

so there IS water on Mars !!
Seriously....as if the kiters weren't fast enough already... then they go and build this!
Basil has his sailboarding equipment with him so it should be interesting to see how well he goes down the strip . The wind was gusty at the start on the old run and had a dead spot 350m in , I am worried that it may be even worse now the run is further up towards the hills.
"Its too shallow, its too deep , its too long , its too wide, its too windy, how do we stop at the end , there is no bowls club near by".

'Kiters speeds not great (best just over 50); but Anders Bringdal on a windsurfer is flying. He's had a 50+ peak and 48 average.'
Yep, it sounds like it's the windsurfers that are breaking records for now.
