Spotty said he could have gone but it is incredibly expensive to do so. Tis a lot easier for the European based sailors to get there than it is for the Aussies.
Strange you say that YoYo because AA was riding a custom RRD Speed board....seems to me there IS a need for custom speed boards.
I will (Wicked Promotional Products) give a $100 
By the way....where is Bjorn? He's on the riders list of who is meant to be there
My bad, just glanced at his gpsss post saw the word "production" (referring to his sail) and assumed it referred to all
Hmmm... looks a lot like a C3 slingshot to me
Has any video been posted yet.
BTW - what would be the total expense of getting Slowboat over there? I assume he could borrow some boards off Anders considering he designed them and I'll loan my GPS
Edit - we can get him from Perth to Capetown for $1800 and then all he has to do is sail (broad reach) 850km's up the coast to Luderitz. can't quickly find what inetrnal flights would cost to Luderitz - if 60 of us threw in $100 each or even $50. Of course if he didn't win we'd want our money back
Not over yet, remember this runs for a month has Dunky turned up yet? Jurjen?
I wonder how many runs they are each getting, Cedric is a great sailor but no where near as good as Anders....still more to come
Choco found a few pics myself. The fins visibly are not too different from the C3 Slingshots (orange instead of red base , similar plan form) profile are from Frenchman Olivier Ponrouch. Obviously they work and at 169 Euro not too expensive.

I read on the net that "The top speed of Anders Bringdal today was apparently 51.10 knots (94,64 km/h)! "
Awesome and more big days ahead. Nearly a 50knot 5x10 for A2. Looks like he will need heaps of wind to try the new 5.0 and 5.4 Evo's. WEll done to all!! I would love to go one day.
Izaak I think heaps of Aussie sailors would do well.
I would back you for at least 5 pb for sure
Words from AA:
"The first few runs were quite scary, especially the first one knowing how narrow the strip is but after two days we all go nuts but still need to be careful.
During one of the run on Tuesday I almost went on the windward bank something that has never happened to me before!!
The wind is definitely here, it wasn't a storm but everyone says it can blow around 60 knots, so with the 35-42 knots wind we had I think we can go faster!!!
Really looking foward to 10 more knots but again we need to be careful in the narrow section and the deceleration zone, only 100m after the last camera..."
As for Cedric Bordes, he is quite used to these nuclear wind conditions:

Dunkerbeck is with his wife who's expecting a third child... and Finian has dropped from the speed scene I believe.
