Well, the 45 seconds of sailing footage is pretty cool, but didn't they run a whole day of competition? Hopefully there's more coming.

Well that is just a great Vid on continent 7. I have been to Brandon Bay or thereabouts, and appreciate anything like that. Maybe the posters that don't like it ought to go out in those conditions with a camera and return something good.

Wow!!! Now that makes windsurfing truly look like an extreme sport.
Where were the kiters?

Mission One summary video has been seen over 160,000 times! -- it has the power to make you hold your breath and curl your toes....

Thanks for posting hodad ... I wasn't paying attention to this. This sure wouldn't match my quiver. Cool to see.

It really is quite insane. Live updates from the event are available: The wind is averaging 45. They are sailing heats right now, and Marcilio Browne just hit a sizeable double-forward. As you can see from the iWindsurf/WindAlert forecast on the StormChase page (screen shot here), they are absolutely in the right spot on the globe for high wind.....
