well now they'll be chasing 60. that will be even more impressive if they crack it. but how long did it take to get from 40 to 50 knots?

I think I remember Pascal Maka of France breaking 40k on a windsurf in the late 80's ?

Google will actually convert for you; just type, say, "50 knots in mph" in and it'll tell you that's 57.5mph (rounded by me). 92.6 km/h in case you wondering. 100km/h is 54.0 knots (62.1mph) 1.00 knots = 1.15 mph = 1.85 km/h 0.87 knots = 1.00 mph = 1.61 km/h 0.54 knots = 0.62 mph = 1.00 km/h |
