Hi guys!!
Im a kiteboarder who is more into speed, long distance ride etc than tricks
How do you do to know your speed?

Here is how: put a GPS in your pocket
Last weekend GPS screen shot after 4 sessions, top wind at site: 21 knots
Logged almost 77 miles and a top speed of 37.4 mph. A GPS is VERY accurate for speed and distance.

Hey I have the garmin 305 gps. Got it for about $100 on amazon.
It has a current speed option, and large display. I had to stop looking at it at about 30 mph....it does record the speed, and it seems pretty accurate.
