Last weekend in Rhosneigr, Ben Proffitt was presented with the 2014 Windsurfer of the Year Trophy by Farrel O’Shea, and it looks like some of Farrel’s speed skills rubbed off too!

The indoor racing champion claims he only made it to 37 knots on his first ever GPS speed runs – but with a few more tips from O’Shea and a bit more wind we are sure that speed’ll be going up and up.
