Windsurfer Antoine Albeau holds 25 world championship titles and has set the world speed record three times over, but he wants to go faster.
The Frenchman is developing a board prototype along with entrepreneur Marc Amerigo. Known as the Project Zephir, it s now in the testing phase, which has Albeau battling 70 km/h winds in a wind tunnel in order to assess the board s performance. This board does not exist yet. It s a three-year project. It will be something hybrid. My job is to get the fastest speeds under sail, said Amerigo.
Amerigo was the brains behind the world speed record in mountain biking on snow held by Eric Barone - nicknamed the Red Baron - which stands at 227.720 km/h.
