 Speed Boards
There is a growing interest in speed sailing in both windsurfing and kite surfing. Many riders are hunting the 50 knots boundary. GPS speed competitions are becoming more and more popular.
Having one of the world’s fastest speed strip in our back yard - and one of the fastest kiters in the world as a team rider have contributed to our highly successful Speed board range.
Since the beginning of speed kiting Xelerator has been at the forefront of speed board development and has a track record to match it:

Speedie
The Speedie is our standard Speed board which works well in most conditions.
The enormous amount of time spent in the Namibian desert trying out new boards and comparing different designs has paid off - resulting in a range that consists of three standard designs to match the different riding conditions.
