A few years ago he shifted his focus toward pure speed.
His goal : exceed the boundaries of what was thought possible on the water.<\/span><\/h2>

In 2021, at over 50 years old, he achieved one of his most impressive feats:
Breaking the 103 km\/h barrier in windsurfing<\/strong>, beating his own personal record and proving that he remained a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>

He continues to participate in speed record campaigns in L\u00fcderitz, Namibia, one of the fastest spots on the planet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
