For the first time, kitesurfing is on the Olympic Games programme, with the Dutch Annelous Lammerts as one of the top participants. Using the Formula Kite, a hydrofoil under the kiteboard, Lammerts can reach speeds of over 70 km/h. This speed involves increased risks and aerodynamic challenges. Therefore TU Delft, in collaboration with TeamNL and textile innovation start-up WEEV Textiles, developed an advanced aerodynamic and cut-resistant suit.
