Listen Later

On this episode, Luc Moore and Floris Dielen drop a quick-fire update on the WaterSpeed Challenges — the global leaderboard pushing windsurfers, wing foilers, and kite foilers to hit fast 20 km times ahead of Defi.

With only days left until the challenges close on May 6th, the duo breaks down the current top rankings, insane speeds, and standout performances from across the world. From Jean Le Gall’s 23:55 leading the entire pack to multi-discipline beasts and dedicated riders stacking massive session counts, this is your last-call motivation to get on the water and climb the boards.

Episode Highlights:

- Current leaders: Jean Le Gall dominating windsurf foil/fin, Martin topping wing foil, and Leopold leading kite — with Pierrot Rapido strong across multiple categories.
- True waterman Erwan Jauffroy shining in all three disciplines (top 15 in everything).
- Global participation shoutouts: sessions from France, Austria (Neusiedlersee), UK, Australia, Japan, USA, Denmark, Spain, and more.
- Volume leaders: Dana Peterson with 16 activities, Mike George with 15, and Pierre Maudfond grinding 6-hour sessions in full training mode.
- Pro tips for participants: add your gear, drop session comments, and share what helped you go fast — real-world data for the community.
- Special 25-knot club: hit 25+ knots in a logged session and score a limited-edition hat at Defi.
- Prizes on the line: golden jersey for category winners, free entry to next year’s Defi, and major bragging rights.

This fast-paced update is perfect for anyone training for Defi or just chasing personal bests on the water. Whether you’re chasing the podium or simply trying to crack 25 knots, the clock is ticking — get your final activities in!

Tune in for motivation, leaderboard drama, and the perfect last push before the big event.
