I imagined Gerds record to stand for many many years, we were only talking about it this weekend at a buggy meeting, and now this record over 100 miles further, truly remarkable, and yet another distance record achieved on the beaches of Fano Denmark
Hi Carlos,a couple of days ago I broke the current world record in solo kite buggying.
I attached the gps tracks of three gps devices as well as a picture of them showing the result. Also you can find the finishing video below.
Also, here is the english translation of the protocol posted previously at https://www.drachenforum.net/

If you need anything else feel free to contact me.
cheers, Stefan
