The French kiteboarder came about his world record during the event "Salt and Speed" when the world record came this speed is blistering fast and can go horribly wrong at times. How long until the 60 knots barrier is broken? Alex seems to be very close now. Maybe he should try the new Aluula Kites.



"I am delighted. It's great, it's fantastic. We validate the capabilities of our spot. We knew for a while that this could happen, we could go very quickly", says Alex Caizergues.

"Unlike in 2013, when I had only one big run, this time I was three times above the 57 knots on 500 meters! I'm very, very happy. This new record is the result of a lot of work and training with my technical partners," explained Caizergues.
Congrats Alex from all of us at S2AS.
