Nico is the best ambassador that this sport could have. I do not care if he finishes 7th or 3rd, he is our hero regardless. He seems to be an extremely nice guy and watching his clips brings me much closer to the action than anything else which I can find on the internet (probably a shared 1st place together with Ben Proffitts clips). What make those two so outstanding ist that they put in the effort to tell a complete story instead just a selection of colorful short sequences. Thank you.
100%. Nico shows us warts and all, when things go well and when he messes up, with honesty and passion but good humour. As for the action, this racing is just the best. Cheers Nico!
Started in 1977 on the Classic windsurfer. 15 years ago, had serious knee surgery and I thought it was all over. Now, at 58, with your videos, a cousin who never quit and motivated me, plus the evolution of material, I decided to invest in material and go back on the water. First session yesterday with more time in the water than on the board 😂, but it fell so goooood. Thanks for sharing your passion through your videos.
Every day six hours of finest racing it‘s even exhausting to watch on the screen. We all can imagine how everybody feels to do their job as a pro worldcup rider! Great racing, pure emotions and very good summary. Thanks to Nico and Lars (and all the helping hands make this event happens)
I’m sure your videos are doing a lot for the sport. Man, you guys are doing such a great job capturing the drama! And Ben’s comments on the races are priceless!
Man, I'm absolutely gassed after a couple of long days on the water in easy conditions. I can only imagine how difficult these conditions are!! Impressive stuff, Nico!
Absolutely without a doubt the most badass sport in the world! Ive been a die hard windsurfer since 1982 and to see it make a full comeback after over a decade of despair.....it is AWESOME. great job Nico go GET7💪🏻🏝️
What you do for the sport of windsurfing is absolutely amazing. You are pushing this sport forward and keeping it young and attractive, even for younger people.
Exciting fin action. It´s kind of a relief to see how also the best surfers struggle non jibes when tired. I have therefore followed your advice from an earlier video of training technique in the first 25 minutes of each session before fatigue is hitting me.
Brutal conditions, beautiful emotions. So much respect for all you guys on the water and thanks to everyone who is working so hard to show us these fantastic images! \m/
Nice drone footage, showing some of the outside jibes and acceleration 🙂 love the following view as you are gunning back in to shore takes me back to being there myself 🙂
Good Job Nico! You give you’re best out there and you are sailing with the best of the best so be proud of yourself you are a master windsurfer, thanks for your authenticity, you’re the best 👍
Top-notch video! All the ups and downs, emotions and hardcore conditions in a very professional video edit. Well done! I wish windsurfing at the Olympics was this much fun to watch.
@@Nico_GER7 was tight till the end, 10s earlier I would not have guessed who would cross the line first betweent the 3 of you. Not sure why you seemed to struggle with your energy levels. Maybe you should investigate aroud that because other than that you have everything needed to perform. Maybe some medical issue, something wrong with the training or else. I don't think others were all pretending to have much more energy. Maybe that' your key to greater results for next events ! Good luck !
@@lomicwind that’s not quite true. A lot of people kept sailing worse and worse, I noticed. I’m not saying they were pretending, but I have commuted to share my feelings with the camera. They don’t have to say anything. Also I lost a lot of speed when I had to switch to my spare fin. So not all about energy.
Nico, that was fantastic racing and you did really well, even with some bad breaks. With regards to the energy levels, it did look like you were suffering more than the others once you got back to the beach - but they may have been hiding it to psyche each other out. I know how well you look after your diet, but may I ask if you did serious carbo-loading the night before each race day, or is that not a thing for the modern athlete? Thanks for the great coverage and bravo my friend!
Hast du überlegt Sport spezifische Riegel und Gels zu essen um die Kalorien rein zu bekommen. Kenne das vom Rennrad fahren und das hilft echt extrem gut.
Hervorragende Berichterstattung zu einem fantastischen Event mit nervenaufreibend spannenden Rennen oft am absoluten Limit. 1000 Dank. War / ist das 5.7er das kleinste gemeldete Segel, das du hast, Nico und hättest du dir vorgestern ein kleineres gewünscht? Drücke die Daumen und wünsch dir die notwendige Power für heute.
So more interesting than foil!!!... That is the only real windsurf. Hope foil will disapear and slalom X become an olympic sports. The only things thats is complicated with this sport is the depending of the weather, without that is really for me the most amazing and sensationnal sport of the world.
Was für ein anstrengendes Event. Da kommen mit der Erschöpfung auch die Emotionen mal durch. Wahnsinn, dass du da zwischendurch noch Luft findest, um der Kamera etwas zu erzählen. Zum Glück, so können wir alle hautnah dabei sein!

Slalom X is so physical. It should not shy away from any high performance Olympic sport! Not only the best technical but the most fit rider won!
So geil, gibt nichts was mir besser gefällt wie Slalom X, viel spannender wie das Foilen ❤ 21:05

Need to go windsurfing
As a spectator sport fin wins hands down. Thanks for bringing us these videos.

Good that feelings are shown!

Was awesome to watch... well done Nico!
Another great video Nico and Lars.... captures the highs and lows! What did Bruno's helmet ever do to deserve that treatment 🤣🤪
what size sails are you using?
Incredible racing, thanks Nico
What an incredibly dramatic and exciting event!
Still a very great job,si happy this sée thé vidéo each Time,thanks a lot❤
Checking the forecast again and again ... need to go to Fuerte it seems
Such a crazy set of Elimination again, well done Nico and thanks for sharing 🤙
That finish with Lohan Jules, incredible !
I had no speed 🥲

Wohoooo 🎉 I really love your reports! Go for it on the foil 💪🏆
Thank you for beautiful video again, it shows how hard it is out there but no one said it will be easy ;) 🤙💯💥
absolutely stunning!
Amazing!!! Great job by all. 🤙
More great racing and coverage. It has to boost windsurfing popularity. Hope that they can find some more venues for SlalomX.
Excellent reporting, thanks for taking us with you!👍
Absolutely amaizing those races
That Slalom event was enjoyable and competitive, and I could see how the tidal swell and flow was likely to catch them unaware at times.
Slalom X das geilste was gerade abgeht bei solchen Bedingungen ❤❤❤
Great videos from a great event 🤙🏼💨💪🏼
Great video, Nico! Keep pushing, and you will win!
Nico, just out of curiosity:
What was the broken fin, and what was the spare one? Were they the same size/stiffness?
Nico, that was fantastic racing and you did really well, even with some bad breaks. With regards to the energy levels, it did look like you were suffering more than the others once you got back to the beach - but they may have been hiding it to psyche each other out.

Thanks for the great coverage and bravo my friend!
There are always ups and downs. Persevere and sooner or later your efforts will be rewarded.🤜
Супер круто!)
Did you find out, mr Prien, what made you loose speed compared to earlier races?
Did the new fin made a difference?
Love Slalom X!!
At least the fin is fresh 😂
Hast du überlegt Sport spezifische Riegel und Gels zu essen um die Kalorien rein zu bekommen. Kenne das vom Rennrad fahren und das hilft echt extrem gut.
what sizes board/sail you used ? what wind speed ?
beautiful event✌🔥
Congrat to pierre!
Could you make a video about the olympics windsurfing? Is it just not your cathegory?
Epic. Slalom X rules!
Sieger der Herzen! 💝 Nico Du bist super! Das ist wahrlich Weltklasse, wie Du surfst. Von 8 Milliarden Menschen bist Du der 7. Beste! 🏆
🔥Event

How is your metabolism? Tried running on fat instead of sugar?
Well done to everyone
I hope you can recover well. Good luck !
Looks like fun. Wanna Start next year in a competition
I’m really happy to see slalom X, not very happy that is so little it should be exchange with foiling!
Haha I want the t shirt 😂
Poor helmet of Martini 😂
Super🎉🎉🎉
Fin slalom is awesome, just like foil, if there is enough wind.
Different question.. why is this not Olympic.. and or are you guys ignoring this this big time 😮😂 loved this series btw!
It wouldn’t work on ‘La Seine’ would it 😅😊 but fully agree with you though!!!!
Sausage trophy to all in top 3!
Comment for the shirt! :)
Slalom X, the best🎉
Seeing Mortefon crash I think my bank account is happy I’m not fast enough to destroy the mast when I fall
So more interesting than foil!!!... That is the only real windsurf. Hope foil will disapear and slalom X become an olympic sports. The only things thats is complicated with this sport is the depending of the weather, without that is really for me the most amazing and sensationnal sport of the world.

Slalom X forever
👍
Dangerous driving of the spaghetti guy. Great coverage Nico!!
