I didn’t expect that today… but the 42 knots on a windfoil have been reached !! ???

I was on 4,5 with the new @phantomfoiling INFINITE 86 board and I can tell you… The board is just amazing ! So stable in the air and so easy to control despite the size ! That is definitely the next step of windfoiling ?
More information about it coming up soon ?

A few numbers from today :
• 42 knots reached on 1s
• 5 times over 40 knots
• 2 successive runs at over 39 knots on 500m ‼️‼️
• 37 knots on 1km without trying to do the km… ?
• ZERO crash today, and that’s just crazy !

The new @sooruzofficial 50N impact vest just felt perfect today, stay tuned ?

More performance from Matteo Iachino

"378 km done, more than 8000 calories burnt over the day sailing my windsurfing gear for ten hours non stop. "

"Matteo Iachino accomplished the feat today: from Sardinia to Livorno by windsurf
Livorno, 18 October 2023. Starting this morning at 08:04 from Cala Spada, just north of Golfo Aranci in Sardinia, the windsurfer of the Italian Yacht Club Matteo Iachino has completed the crossing from Sardinia, arriving at 5.49pm today, 18 October, in Livorno with a time of 9h45m and sailing for around 200 miles (178 done by the support vessel), an hourly average close to 20 knots with peaks of almost 35 knots. An extraordinary and very hard undertaking, never taken for granted until the last mile. Weather conditions that were both optimal for fast navigation and challenging for the Ligurian athlete who crossed the Tyrrhenian Sea with a strong Sirocco and a rough sea with waves of a couple of meters.""
