Etter noen dager med vanskelige forhold, fikk den norske Vindkraft-ekspedisjonen svært gode forhold i helgen.
Vi har fått følgende melding fra de tre skiseilerne:
10 July,Distance: 301,8km.
NEW WORLD RECORD set by the windpower expedition!
The windpower expedition has set a new 24 hour kite skiing distance record! At 06.30 local time they called in reporting todays distance at 301.8km beating the old 271km record.
They have had changing easterlies and have alternated between 9sqm JoJo kites with 60m lines and 10sqm Beringer skisails. They are very happy about their new world record, but are still hungry for more and expect to beat todays record if they get another day with more consitant wind. The guys are tired after only sleeping a few hours today, but very good equipment and flat snow conditions have eased the load on their bodies and they are ready for new record attempts after a good "days" sleep.
