So, I'm always saying that we have world class conditions for downwind in Northern Portugal. We have a growing group that is doing more and more downwinds. Yesterday, one of my mates borrowed my SIC Bullet 17'4 FAST and did a massive downwind run, with great conditions: 41,52 km in 4h04m, with an average speed of 10,2 km/h. So that you know how good it gets here, surfski legend and multiple Molokai winner Oscar Chalupsky is living here and says it's as good as some of the best places he has been. He broke his personal record this here in Portugal: 80 km in 4 hours 30 minutes (on a surfski). op speed 30.8 km/h average speed 17.7 km/h fastest 1 km 2 minutes 54 seconds.
Here is a video of part of the DW run from yesterday, when another friend of mine on a SIC Bullet 17'4 went to support him along 20 km.
