Fast

This is what fast in a lot of wind looks like. From Andy Lauffer.

No need for shredder guitar tracks. The wind suffices.

I think speed boards are usually in width like their wider race brethren. This one is indeed 45cm wide and all of 53 l. Still a water ski. Probably similar thickness to a high wind board (65-70l Gorge or wave board) but just less width. And, any chop at those speeds looks terrifying to me, too.

Fast until you aren't. Looks like AA at the same spot
