OVERVIEW
In the past couple of years, speed windsurfing has had a major impact on windsurfing history. With the Luderitz canal in Namibia, overall speed times increased by about 5 knots. In one of the record attempts, Diethelm scored the best result of the event with a time of 51.18 knots.
Even though he didn't break the world record himself, his most eye-opening result was his 48.77 knots in marginal wind speeds of around 25 knots on a sail measuring over 6 sqm. Diethelm: "Just for fun, I borrowed another rider's 6.3 and could barely start in the light winds. I was happy to make it downwind around the first corner. The run felt slow and almost boring, and I was happy to reach the finish without stopping. So far, my feelings during the run. After getting the official timing of 48.77 knots, I couldn't believe it. Since then, I have bright ideas on how to design faster speed equipment."
The 2022 WOMEN WORLD RECORD by Heidi Ulrich has proven once again how incredibly fast our boards and sails are.
Today we are happy to be supporting the Prince of Speed organized by Andrea Baldini– Principe, whois organizing amazing speed events in the South of France. So if you go really fast, sign up for one of his events and break your personal records. If you also want to have a historical moment in your windsurfing memory, don't wait and get one of our PATRIK speed boards, which are known to be the most controlled and fastest of all.

SCOOP ROCKER LINE
A board nose as low as possible to maintain theflattest rocker curves, which reduce water and air friction to an absolute minimum.
OUTLINE
Narrow in the tail to minimize the wetted surface area for maximum speeds and a forward wide point for early planing and control. Not too short in length to enable early planing and to allow the rider to use the smallest board possible. Also not too long to optimize aerodynamics and improve control.
BOTTOM SHAPE
Slight V with double concave and side flats in the nose area and under the mast track for a smoother ride. Slight flat V in the tail area for maximum acceleration, speed, and control.
DECK SHAPE
An extreme S-deck shape with a low back foot area, high front foot area, and a lowered mast track position to provide the most comfortable and controlled downwind sailing position.
RAIL SHAPE
Thin at the nose and at the mid section to reduce weight. Very boxy rails at the front strap prevent water sucking up the rail and allow the rider to stand tall. Thin and low rails at the back foot enable the rider to stand lower and have the best water release, which results in better top speeds.
SUMMARY
We could actually make faster boards, but top speeds are impossible without control. Superior control gives you the confidence and safety to push yourself beyond your limits. That's why we sacrifice some top speed on paper for a controlled and smooth feeling that will get you to your personal records at the end of the day. Try our speed range now and you'll be hooked forever!

"The PATRIK speed range includes the most refined shapes on the market. The boards are ready to fly. You'll find your individual trim and perfect setup pretty easily, and this will make you faster than the other guys in the end. The "big" sizes 48 and 53 take larger sails well, and the speed 53 works nicely in real-world and less-than-perfect speed conditions."
CHRISARNOLD (Swiss Team)
"In 2022, I broke the 500m women's world speed record on a PATRIK Speed 37 production board with a 5.2 Race+ production sail. I hit a VMax of 49.94 knots, which is the fastest a woman has ever windsurfed. You cannot go fast without being in control. The speed shapes of Patrik Diethelm give me all the control and confidence I need to fully commit to a speed run."
