Interview

... I got hooked on speedsailing after a kiter lent me a GPS and a fisherman encouraged me to join the GPS Challenge. For a long time I had a lot of fun just chasing speed on my old freeride gear. In the last 2 seasons I've started to target my quiver to satisfy the burning need to go FASTER ;))

Nicolas Goyard

The King of Foil!

Can you believe it?

40,36 knots average on 250m= 74,75 km/h

This is absolutely insane and he brings this discipline to the next level.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Not only winning the U18 category- he also finished in 4th position in the overall ranking of the Third event of the Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge.
