Find out how BLOODHOUND SSC uses wings to keep it skimming along the ground. World Record speed windsurfer Zara Davis helps explain the theory behind how a wing works.

Yeah. Not easy to do when the wind is strong and gusty as the gusts tend to turn the board. I can hug the bank at Sandy Point where the wind is quite steady, but gave it plenty of room at Luderitz.
