First man to sail faster thant 50 knots over 500 meters. The SeaSailSurfer of the month made his record early in october. The french kitesurfer was competing with other kitesurfers and windsurfers in Namibia during the Luderitz Speed Challenge. And he was the first to break the 50 knots barrels !

Few days before, Cattelan showed that his GPS registered more than 58 knots over few metters. That was a clear message than kitesurfers were ready to win the putch over windsurfers and foilers. On october 3rd, that was done with 50.26 knots rattified for Cattelan. Few days after, Caizergues made better with 50.57. And that’s the news record to break.
