English windsurfer Steve Torf captured the surfing speed record. This was reported by a windsurfing magazine Surfertoday.com.

He managed to reach the speed of 50.4 knots (90 km/h). It is still unclear whether the record will be recognized in the video. Despite this, Steve Torf was happy to reach the speed of 50 knots. Until then, the highest speed reached was 45 knots. In the so-called heaven of windsurfing Hawaii, speed records of windsurfers were captured, but they were not as high as that of Steve Torf. Another British windsurfer Tom Hamerton has managed to reach the speed of 39.1 knots in 2011. Before that, Dan Ellis has managed to reach 38.4 knots, and a Dutch Peter Volvater has reached 38.2 knots. These speeds were captured in the distance of 100 meters.
