Antoine Albeau has broken the windsurfing speed world record, at the 2015 Luderitz Speed Challenge, in Namibia.

The French sailor hit the 53.10 knots (98.34 km/h) and smashed the previous record set at 52.05 knots. Wind conditions improved dramatically in the last days of October, and windsurfers kept raising the bar in the iconic speed channel.

Albeau has never stopped trying to improve his own world record. In two days of speed attempts, he made 54 runs. Ten of them were over 50 knots, and six were over 51 knots. Breaking a new record was only a matter of time.
