Yesterday (23 October 2014) in Lüderitz, Namibia, will go down in the history books as French kite surfer Chris Ballois set a new World Record for disabled riders, ratified by the WSSRC and ISAF-IFDS.
In only 25 knot average winds and after reaching 39.14 knots on his very first run down the multiple-record breaking channel, Ballois took off on his second run and reaching 42.94 knots (80 kph!) (average speed) over the official 500 metre long course to claim the world record.
