Just days after Alex Caizergues posted a new world record speed of 54.93 knots, and one hour after Sebastien Cattelan took it to 55.49, a US kitesurfer, Rob Douglas, has taken the top spot with a speed of 55.65 knts at the 2010 Luderitz Speed Challenge. With only two days left of the event, will there be any time for someone to steal the world record away one more time?
