Algorithm showed me your channel a few weeks after I began windsurfing. First time in a harness next weekend. Inspirational to see what level you've taken it to. Best of luck and take care! Fingers crossed for you!
No room for errors! The channel is currently about 7m wide. It would become too expensive and labour intensive to make it wider… Water gets pumped into the channel each day so it would also take too long to get the level high enough if it is wider.
@@KarovanTonder Holy.... I always thought i'm "pretty ok" in windsurfing, i can handle winds up to 30-35 knots bla bla.... hands down, that what you and the others are doing there is absolutly insane!
Yes, I wear a GPS Coros watch and a GT31 GPS as extra backup. The event also uses its own system to perfectly measure the speeds of the riders to make it official.. so in the end of the day you have 3 readings to cross reference. My best average speed over 500m is 44,6 knots, 2s peak speed of 47 knots.. To set a record, they use your average over 500m, so the little spikes in speed doesn’t count. This is what makes it extra challenging! 🤟😊
That depends on the conditions, the rider and the gear. Definitely not the safest sport around… But it’s very rewarding to push the limits of the sport!! 🤟😁
If it was safe we'd all be breaking windsurfing speed records. The boundaries of human acheivement are rarely pushed by keyboard warriors such as ourselves.
those crashes are insane!
Brutal!!
Great compilation and an amazing Rocky montage to start off. That’s some hardcore training 💪🏾
Thank you so much!! 😊🤟

Thank you so much!! 😊 🤟
I’d be using a 1m2 sail 😂. Fantastic job, you’ve got guts to sail in such immense winds and a narrow channel.
Thank you so much!! ☺️🙏
Is it only me who thinks they need to make the channel wider - as it stands there's no 'room' for correcting an error!!!

Wider would allow more room to generate waves…
Good luck ! Waiting to see you on the course
Thank you so much!! 😊🙏
This awesome! Bad ass training 💪 go for it! 🤙
@@cyriellenting8823 Thanks so much!! 🤟😎

Windsurfing, the mother of funsport😆
Totally!! 🤟😎
@@KarovanTonder Good luck & top speeeeed without crash🤙
I thought you have to sign off that you don't post any footage of the crashes? Makes it seem too dangerous? ( That's up to debate)
Still really epic shit!
I think that you have heard a rumour.. that is definitely not the case! 😁🤟
@@KarovanTonderthat is possible!
Which surgery did u do for shoulder dislocation
Bankard posterior labrum repair and also two anterior repairs.
What wind speed?
The wind speed on a moderate day is 35 - 40 knots. On record days it can go from 45 - over 60 knots. 🤟
That looks unreal !
So heavy ..
How strong is that wind there ?
During the 5 years Ive been there, on a record day the wind can pick up to over 66 knots. A “light wind” day is considered 35 knots! 😄🤟

respect Karo, it looks like you are fit and prepared, are you going to sail at AV?🤙
Thanks you so much!! 🙏😊 Yes, I will definitely be on AV.
dit is die beste kombinasie 😜👌
What kind of speeds are you reaching? Are you using gps?
Wow!
And where is this located?

Not safe.
