The world’s best riders will converge for a month to make the full potential of “2nd Lagoon” a reality. A 700m long, 10m wide and 50-100cm deep channel will be dig to ensure the best possible water surface is available. It’ll be dug straight the whole way to make the 500m run as short as possible resulting in better averages. The wooden fence will only be used for the last 100m; a sand chop killer will be used for the first 400m to ensure there are no dangerous obstacles for better safety. This world record attempt officiated by the “World Sailing Speed Record Council” with the presence of their commissioner. Fabrice David is the race director and will also do the Time keeping. The safety and security will be improved with a jet ski permanently in the water, it’s engine is in good working order. The rules will be strictly controlled by the race director to avoid incidents.
