Guy Cribb: the British Laird Hamilton

British windsurfer Guy Cribb has set a new record with the most watersports practiced in 24 hours.

Cribb completed 21 sports along the 10-mile coastline from Bournemouth to Poole on the longest day of the year last Monday.

The 13-times UK champion tested sea kayaking, kite surfing, stand-up paddle-boarding, bodyboarding, windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, sailing, and skimboarding.

Guy Cribb, a 40-year-old waterman, ended this challenge absolutely tired. He was the first windsurfer to cross the English Channel, in 2008, from Cherbourg to Poole.

The new record was supported by the Tourism authorities. The idea is to promote watersports that can be tried between Bournemouth and Poole.

  • It's official. The World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) ratified two new outstanding accomplishments in windsurfing and kiteboarding.
  • Dutch environmental activist and windsurfer Merijn Tinga, also known as the "Plastic Soup Surfer," has made an audacious journey from Oslo to London, braving the North Sea's currents and winds, to call attention to the pervasive problem of plastic pollution.
  • Imagine gliding across a frozen lake, your sail catching the wind, and skis slicing through the ice and snow. Meet the sport that blends the thrill of windsurfing with the crisp, cold beauty of winter landscapes.
  • Planing is one of the most exciting skills you can master while windsurfing. It usually separates beginners from intermediate and advanced sailors. But what is the minimum wind speed to get flying over water?
