Turkish pro slalom sailor Lena Erdil shares her video about her trip to Luderitz in quest for the speed world record.
In the end we just didn’t get the wind that is needed for a world record and didn’t get to sail as much as we would have liked, but it was still good to be back on the canal and give it my best shot… Hope you like the video! A massive thanks to all my sponsors for supporting me one more time in the ultimate quest for speed !! ~ Lean

At least thats the idea but making the movie besides a daytime job seemed to much. Working out ideas, shooting, editing, find suitable music it consumed so much time and energy that I couldn’t windsurf myself anymore. So I stopped but this is what I have and it deserved its place on the internet for all the guys participating in the movie. Shot on location in January and February at Strand Horst.
