Steve Thorp is now the fastest windsurfer in the world. The British sailor has set a new world speed windsurfing record by reaching the 50.48 knots, at West Kirby, England, on the 3rd January 2012.
Thorp wore two GPS units that delivered different results. The first one peaked at 54 knots and the other one at 50.48 knots. After a careful review gpsspeedsurfing.com confirmed the second record, which was enough to take the lead.

The following weekend sees the Wellington Ocean Water Sports Centre organising a “Get on the Harbour Day” for Wellingtonians on the Saturday of Waitangi Weekend. People will be able to come down to the Sailing Academy in Oriental Bay and have a go at kayaking, waka ama, sailing, stand up paddle boards, windsurfing and surf paddle boards. Clubs and companies such as Canoe and Kayak, Wild Winds, Windsurfing New Zealand, Tunui a te Ika Waka Ama Club and Maranui Surf Life Saving Club will be out in force on the day.
Planning is well advanced for the Wellington Harbour Festival, six weeks of Ocean Water Sports action on Wellington Harbour this summer.
“This is the second year of the Wellington Harbour Festival which includes a diverse range of water sports,” said Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown.
“This event showcases our stunning harbour and encourages people of all ages and abilities to get wet in or on the water, as well as watching world class races.”
