It was great to meet you on the slipway in Mellieha, I was impressed that you asked our advice on launching and what hazards to look out for in the bay. It just proves that no matter what level of sailor you are, it’s always prudent to talk to the local sailors before going out. Peter Micallef
Thanks to you I have started windsurfing, I have gone 3 or 4 times now on a big 300L board and hope to one day be able to windsurf really well. your videos inspire me to become better. Thanks!
Nice man!! Keep on going 🙌
Thank you very much for letting us take part at your experiences all the time! Always fun to watch 🙏🏼

Looking forward to Round 2, when we will finally do the crossing. Stay tuned.
Gewinne? Da sind wir dabei
I know that feeling when the wind dies and the air feels electric. Time to derig all those long pointy things.
Brings back memories of sailing anytime there was wind even with the threat of thunderstorms. Thanks.
Lovely place. Another interesting story, Nico. Great shots Lars. Beautiful stormy sky. Thanks 🤙
I just want to say that the little pink detail on the underside of the JP foil board with the NP sails looks amazing.
Waiting for the wind at home , the video helps to not go that crazy after a week not on the water and having to study for school
Hii, I started windsurfing almost a year ago and I’m learning lots of things from you, thanks 👌
One of my best memories was in Limfjorden (Denmark), totally overpowered because I was on a budget, and could hardly go up against the wind. It was totally extreme and I was having a blast up until a thunderstorm started right above me. I immediately went into the water and hid below my rig until it was over. I looked like the Michelin-man (suit full of water) when I got out of the water. This video really reminds me of that day.
Beautiful storm it was and horrifying at once. Derigging on the open sea is something we rarely practice. It could be a sub-topic of an upcoming video...
noted 🗒️
dang, those shots at 10:00 are honestly addicting to watch. Like i just phase out in front of the screen 😂
still a good video, even if there was no racing.
Super spannendes Windsurfabenteuer - wunderbare Bilder von Lars und äußerst unterhaltsam mit viel Charme präsentiert von Nico 😊
I started my 45th season and never sailed in thunder and not going to do so. Safety first. Thank you for the videos.
Hey Nico deine Videos sind immer noch top und es ist so cool zu sehen, wie Surfer zusammen Spaß haben, auch wenn am nächsten Tag ein Race ist. Das ist ein Teil des Spirits der mich immer wieder flasht.
Big like form France !! Thank you for making people aware of the risks of thunderstorm. I have been caught in a thunderstorm once while sailing and it was the scariest day of my life !
Awesome! I think your videos hit a sweet spot between great windsurfing shots, travel reports, spot checks and entertainment. I assume you and your team had to put in massive amounts of work. Thanks!
Thanks Manuel!! Much appreciated :)
Thank you Nico and Lars! This kind of videos are great as they show the reality of windsurfing in weather changing conditions. This place looks unbeleivable!
I have been following you for a long time and I love your videos, you are the best 🤙🏄
Love watching your video's makes me relive my windsurfing days in the 80's
Nothing beats a windsurfing roadtrip. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Mine starts in 4 weeks; to the Columbia Gorge in Oregon😎
Gorge! On the bucket list.
Your videos are always so exciting to watch I Can't wait for the next one keep it up
Super video and a great story! Thank you for your nice work.
What a strong experience!! Both terrifying and beautiful
10:20 look at that smile. Thats what windsurfing is all about
Wise decision to stop for safety reasons, you set the right example to all the windsurfers out there
If you get the chance Nico, you absolutely HAVE TO visit the Blue Grotto whilst you are in Malta - "beautiful" doesn't even BEGIN to describe it!!!
Hi Nico! It's Michael Wilson from Malta we met at Gillieru. Can't wait to see you again for part 2!
Was nice to meet you 🤟
Great adventure! The Neilpruts sail might have attracted the bad weather, who knows? Good to see everybody was fine!
You’re doing a good job for the sport and the community! All the best for the future adventures!
Uns gefällt ja bei 5:59 das Hufeisen am Kühlergrill sehr. Da es „richtig rum“ angebracht wurde, kann das Glück nicht rausfallen. Und es hat genutzt, alles gut gegangen 👍🏼
Great to watch the adventure. Initially, you seemed more scared of the car then of the thunderstorm 😬
Spectacular as usual, Nico! The 2024 Neil Pryde and JP color schemes are fantastic.
Toller Eindruck über die Windsurfszene in Malta und krass das Ihr trotz Gewitterwarmung die Umrundung versucht habt👍
As always, you provide us with a very entertaining video. thank you so much
Thanks for you high qual and with huge effort producing Video, great cam views🤙🏼
incredibly good pictures, you definitely made the right decision intuitively. that shows true greatness!
I would love to see more slalom fin shots again =)
It can be really sketchy with thunderstorms out on the water, I have been in the same situation too and I really enjoyed this video like somany else!
This was one hell of an adventure, just keep going forward!!!
This video makes you want to come and sail in Malta, thank you Nico !!
Wieder ein super schönes, informatives Video 🎉❤
Die Aufnahmen von allerfeinster Qualität 👏😎👌
Perfekte Werbung für das schöne Hobby Windsurfen 😎🤙
Nature wins. Thanks for sharing the story, looks like a wonderful place to visit, windsurfing or not
That was really fun to watch. Interesting to see episode.
Pickup truck was the best part of the video 👍
When it rains, it usually sucks! The wind either drops dead or gets gusty and turns towards a real storm! 😅
Another great video👏 its always a joy when you upload. Thank you for sharing this experience🤩
Nice one Nico, thanks for the insight!🤙🏻
Hi Nico, great Idea to go from Malta to Sicily. I just left Sicilia last Saturday. We have eben close to a good spot at the south-west-coast, called Torre die Gaffe. If you retry the crossing, maybe I can you some hints for good Arancini If you arrive there. Good luck.
Jochen
Lycra gang gang - - great video, sad to see the weather didn't cooperate for the race
Everything under control like always! 🤯hope win the lycra , 7 is also my number on the water!
Great vid. Malta looks amazing. Bucket list for sure.
Siempre he pensado que si tuviera que desmontar la vela en el mar perdería alguna pieza… Difícil y engorroso 😂 Good job and nice video!
Cool video and great views of Malta. The island looks pretty cool. Awesome action clips and great editing from Lars well done. I enjoyed it
Great videos! Always almost like a short documentation. Sick footage and great editing!
Epic video. Fun content. This is a 'random comment' for the lycra. Thanks.
Malta, the place were I really got the virus of windsurfing at the age of 12……..
Been there several times and it is such a nice country and also very good for windsurfing.
I learned windsurfing there at the Melliehabay at the beach side.
Looking forward to your next video!
The thunderstorm looked crazy😱
I didn't even know there could be windsurfing drama 😭
The Maltese weather let you down but you didn't let Malta down, such a spectacular video of our lovely island. Also narrated by such an inspiring athlete, keep it up and hope to see you again.
p.s. Oh and our beloved GHadira Bay slipway has become even more special, we should do a graffiti
"NICO WAS HERE".
Lovely places to sail. We always get 10 knot gusts to sail over here in Lincolnshire U.K. anything less is unusual.
Great to see you take on this challenge.
Wonderful filming!! Love it
Been there when this kind of storm hits you and broke my head so glad you derigged so early, good call. Awesome video and nice to see that not everywhere you go is nice weather
What beautiful pictures !
You are the best inspiration for me to be a bether windsurfer.
As always, another nice and good
video thanks Nico.
Malta is lovely! Such dark sky is …. Bad luck and dangerus 😀😀
Once again sick Video, thunderstorm looked scary. Good stuff man.
24 minutes pure entertainment with a thrill
You didn't get to race but the shots in the middle of the video were amazing anyway, thanks for sharing!
Looks fast 🏎️💨💨, but scary too.
Starkes Abenteuer...und gute Entscheidung nicht zum Blitzableiter zu werden😂
Amazing, great quality as always👌
Amazing video and fantastic trip! 🤙
nice video, I'll try to be there next edition
You are great as always 💪
Wow Nico, that thunderstorm looked massif. Save choice to derig.
I would definitely go there, the water looks nice.
Hope for you that you're next trip has more of a happy ending.
I've been watching your channel for 3 years and you were the main reason I didn't go to kitesurfing.
Love your channel and I'm very excited for the opportunity to win(I Hope so) your shirt.
Very good video like all your other videos
Feels like you deserve it. If you don’t end up winning it, I’ll send you another one. Send me a DM on Instagram 🤟
I love your video’s. Keep on going❤❤
Malte lokks Impressive and very beautiful!!
I just come back from Crete, nice island too for windsurfing
Super video and a great story!
I love the old town of Malta! I also have had many weather events while foiling. Nice choice (guter Idee) to call the race.
Nice Video thx Nico and Lars
Netter Trip! Wäre mal eine Reise wert!
It was still an adventure! 💪
What a beautiful video !!! Good luck for then
Wonderful Video!❤️🏄♂️🤙
Great video as usual 😊
Nice video Nico, thanks you
Nice Video and Story Nico. Gives a good insight on how beautiful Malta is. I just think that if they really wanted to do this crossing they just should have used a "Strand by" period and then just go when conditions are suitable. My friend Begalli did the crossing from Sicily to Malta, and he waited for several weeks to get the ideal conditions!! Anyway looks like you had a fun time!!
Great video. Sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped. Just another reason to go back. Looks like Malta is quite the place to visit for a vacation.
Great sharing and great give away. Do give the lycra to one of the young guns 👍🏄🏼♀️
Awesome Video! I will be foiling sailing in Italy this summer!
That's a beautiful spot! I enjoyed your tour around the island!
Always a great video
Awesome video really good work !!!!
Super video Nico, and what a beautiful place Malta is glad to call it home. Windsurfers are welcome anytime of course🤙. Would appreciate the shirt😉 cu soon
Cmon man, now I have to add yet another small island to my bucket list. I just visited fuerte, planning to go to bonaire and now wrote down Malta. Take five with these bucket list spots, would you 😊
Nico, just discovered your channel and I'm loving it! Sailed dinghy boats my whole life since I was 7, (I'm 37 now), but new to windsurfing this past year. Do you have any advice for older new to windsurfing sailors? I am loving it, but I'm not 20 anymore and don't want to get hurt. Maybe a video about preventing injuries? Thanks so much and keep up the great content!
Thanks for this nice video😍
