Wir sind begeistert und enorm stolz auf Robbie Douglas US-55, der mit einer Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 39,04 Knoten (72,30208 km/h, 44,92643 mph) am 10. Juni 2019 in La Palme France einen neuen Weltrekord auf 1 Seemeile (1,852 km, 1,15075 miles) aufgestellt hat. Rob segelte mit unserem Serienprodukt FLYSURFER SOUL 6 & 7 und seinem Prototyp Temavento Board „V55“ in den wunderschönen Tramontana-Winden von 30-45 Knoten über das Mittelmeer.
