Finally after much longer than it should have been I made it over 40kts. It was only a peak, but had to give it a fist pump!!! Now I need to work on getting a more consistent speed. Super happy how nice the 5.2 Firewing felt. It felt like it could have handled another 10 kts without any trouble at all. 

After hitting 40kts on the X-fire 90 I thought I could go even better on the speed board. Lots of really good peaks, but nothing close to the X-fire speed. I think I need one of Whiteys magiv F-hot speed fins to get the speed board flying!

Congratulations John !!!. This is Juan Herrero from Fuerteventura.

You've got it. It is realy amazing to realize how difficult is to get just one knot more.
