Two guys in this video looks pretty fast to me especially 1 year after time on foil.

These guys are relatively fast (some of them post GPS tracks online). On the Infinity 76, they have posted speeds above 20 knots, which is a few knots faster than most foilers on this foil. That speed is pretty similar to what a typical freerider or wave sailor would do in the same conditions.

They are also using the Infinity 65 and smaller boards now, which should be good for a few more knots.

But the video probably is accelerated in parts.

Speed of rec foiling.
You don't get hurt when you get hooked in and launched at full speed.
Speed of rec windsurfing.
Get launched at full speed, you skip/bounce over the water while slinging yourself around the rig. You go..."wow, that hurt".
