Glad you like it!! Next time you need to come over in winter!!

Living it for as long as I can 🙌

Thanks! Will do!

thank you!!! see you next summer!

hahaha yes that one was a bit special 😅

Thank you!!

Thanks man! Next time you come hopefully a freestyle session together.

Thank you! Glad to hear they have helped out a lot hope to ramp up the clips in 2025 just need to find the time to put them together.

Sorry for the delay in response. Yes have tried it in different sizes. A great all round wave board with great early planning abilities & big range! Ideal for both jumping & riding for nearly all wave sailing levels.

​@@dietervandereyken9271 Thank you for your answer. I already bought it, and I am very happy with it. Very fast and maneuverable in the wave.

hello no I would say roughly 45 degrees down wind is how you land, just remember if on the landing the sail gets to much power to slide your hands back to getter and put all your weight on the back foot so your noise of the board can come back up. If you get controlled with the rotation you can also just a split second before landing open your sail already to avoid the nose of the board to sink to deep

Thanks! Will focus on putting more weight back. I tend to bury the nose too much for sure

Thank you for the compliment! Glad the tips are helping!

Hello toby, great idea but currently I don't have this in the planning but maybe in the future! Best out of my experience though is to swim either to the towards the top of the sail & swim upwind with it.. or to grab the board and start swimming down wind with it.. it's when you try to swim against the wind with the board it gets very difficult.

@@dietervandereyken9271 Great videos... 🤙

Thank you! Yes I agree, I think 3a is sometimes good in case of bigger sails & issues with the clew sinking under water to often.

thank you very much!

thank you!

your welcome!!

thank you!!

thank you ! looking forward to welcome you in Tenerife next month again!

your welcome!!

Thank you! Hope it's getting you closer to landing the Shaka!

Hello I’m actually using either Nano or mostly Stone. I have however also a project scott & Pyro. One definitly to add to the list.

Gracias!!

For sure the Blade would be more suitable, if you put a bit less downhaul , let tension of the lower 2 battens (the one around the main window) & tension top ones good to make it duck better. The S-1 for ducking is quite hard, I can do it but with the stability the Blade has & its on & off feeling the Blade will be better towards Freestyle

Hello Sveto, thank you! Board comparison on Wave boards or other idea's?

Yes I think for you on the lighter wind days in Le Dossen a S-1 could fit a bit better on the stronger wind days you might not need that extra drive especially in Side of so could still be happy on the Blade. Especially if wind is going up & down a lot.. Might need to get you one to try next time I'm around!

Very good points. Would like to hear the experts on these your points, because I also thought like that 🤔

Hello Vincent, this clip is filled with my own experience and what I could clearly feel when sailing the 2 sails back to back. On the fact of the pressure point towards front or back we seem to be align. Wether it's higher or lower between the 2 sails we seems to be on opposite sides in our experience. From my experience sailing the 2 sails back to back I felt for me the pressure point was lower & further back on the S-1 compared to the Blade yet the most clear thing that indicated that for me was the fact I had quite a bit more drive in the bottom turn on the S-1 compared to the Blade while it also had more grip in the top turn. On forwards for example on the Blade I get an easier better rotation, similar to when I sail my Freestyle sails (the Freek) which indicates for me it should be higher up, Forwards on the S-1 for example I find less easy, backloops are bit easier on the landing since the top can open up better but in general I would say the Blade is more stable in the air. The stability when getting powered up on the Blade I personally would say would come from the 5 batten lay out (more wind range) & more high aspect ratio however I have only tried the 4.7 & normally only sail S-1 so touch bias towards S-1. I hope to give the Blade another go in Pozo & give some further feedback in stronger winds due to the conditions on this day being a bit tricky. What are you riding yourself? And what is the last S-1 you have tried just out of curiosity ? Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much.

Thanks Dieter, I mostly ride Blade.. Added an S1 5.0 last year.. But it's a bit too twitchy for me. I prefer the more solid feeling of the Blade. But maybe it's setup and size will have different impact too. That said, both sails are awesome. Thanks for further clarifying. I should test the same size back to back one day. Just for the fun of it. Maybe some day at a test center somewhere 😄🤙🏻

@@VincentVelema i use both sails for years, and just wanna verify that S1 is indeed way more twitchy, even when you are just going.. . Usually i see the differences in the gusts, rather than the tricks. If i just go with the blade i have really good control in gusts, but a hard time to move the sail into my movement, lets say like a lay down on a turn or wave, while with S1 in identical condition it would be twitchy, but in a wave ride, it would feel so light and responsive to the point like its cheating.

Yes so twitchy is not bad it's just more eager to move around 😄 to each's preference 👍🏻 both sails are 🥰

Thank you!! Was a fun test to do!

Glad to hear you have enjoyed the clip & are enjoying the Severne products! The Blade definitely is a great all rounder with a huge wind range!

Thank you! Most sail brands have 2 wave sails at least in there range some even more. When in doubt I would always write the brand itself or even better go to a test center and like me test both options back to back before buying.

Thank you! Hope you get them soon now!

Agreed! This is the best thank you for putting it together, alot of fixing to do with bad technique!

I don't think it will be the straps. The moment you carve try to really get your ass low like you would go sit down while also keeping pressure on your base plate by hanging down onto your boom. Also very important is that your weight is enough forward over your front footstrap. If you have any video's please let me know since we can plan in a debrief if you like.

Hello Tom, to get more consistend and have more stability at the end it is extremely important to learn to switch your feet before flipping the sail. It will also allow a wider exit for the jibe.

Hello Fred, all my camps can be found on my website www.dieter-b35.com/windsurfcoaching/ . For improving your jibes both the camp in Fuerteventura (2nd - 7th June) & Rhodos, Greece (9th - 13th of September) . Other camps I do are aimed towards entree of Wave or advanced waves.

@@dietervandereyken9271 hello dieter. Thanks for the feedback. I would like to join an advanced course for wave. I will see your website. Pascal

100% correct, with Foil jibing I feel you can go even wider than normal jibing. The one from leaning in the curve is a great on as well, although in the second half of the jibe it just should only be a little bit since otherwise you will carve to much at the end of the gybe which will prevent you from planning out!

@@dietervandereyken9271 That's true as well. It's good to jibe really wide with the foil. The foil goes upwind so well, you don't need to worry about getting back upwind. I agree that you don't want to lean too much into the jibe towards the end, but enough to keep from falling to the outside of the jibe. The thing I'm working on now is carving a smooth radius throughout the jibe. My tendency is turn well enough in the beginning of the jibe, but then straighten out as I go downwind. I tend to keep going straight downwind until the board slows down too much and I can't possibly foil all the way through the jibe. I have the same issue with fin windsurfing.

@@dairyairman where are you watching half way the jibe? Through your sail still or are you focussing on starting to look past your clew? If you look past your clew in the direction you want to go you should be turning well (since your shoulders will open up the right direction an let the rest of the body follow). For the radius the second half of the jibe is always bit wider than the entree since the entree can be quite tight as we in general have more control over the rig. At the entree we are not sailing clew first, you are still in your front foot strap & carrying more speed . I would focus in your next session on looking past the clew at the second half of the jibe & sailing few meters clew first before flipping the rig.

Your welcome! Looking forward to welcome you in Fuerteventura & get those jibes dialled in!
