I've enjoyed watching the Quiksilver Pro at Snapper Rocks live on ONE hd TV.
Some of the competitors have opted to wear a GPS meter.
The speed and distance travelled during the heat has been measured.
The speeds recorded are right up there.
Speed-poleys need to find a wave to get those extra knots.

a sensationalist and misleading title, CHECK
content completely devoid of any useful information, facts or figures, CHECK
biased and opinionated writing aimed at inflaming readers to generate views, CHECK

And if its GPS its point to point, not water speed. I think water speed would be greater than point to point.

Have to say, who cares ??
Surfboard speed the same relevance to windsurfing as it does to surfing, which is nil.
Not sure why they even bothered.
