Watch how speed sailors put the brakes on their high-speed windsurfing gear at the 2019 Luderitz Speed Challege, in Namibia.
Vincent Valkenaers, Twan Verseput, Bjorn Dunkerbeck, Gunnar Asmussen, Oisin van Gelderen, Pep Bonet and Jim Crossley perform three different methods for stopping boards and sails at high speed.
