    Fins are what most windsurfers do, so slalom X is something we can relate to. Watching it is extremely fun! Keep going!

  • @bob2787

    Nico seems like your burning the candle at both ends! Giving 100% on the water AND doing these videos during and after races. Respect. Don't let yourself burn out. Also great editing Lars, the silent partner in the shadows.

    I'm watching this and constantly thinking that you need to give yourself more credit for your performance. Look at the final section where you comment on how disappointed you are to get your best result so far, then Jordy is clearly so pleased and happy to be improving. You need a bit more of that. And when you won your semi, Ben Profit was saying "This will give him confidence" but you were totally down on yourself (!). Take some time to congratulate yourself. All these people are watching these videos and rooting for you - give yourself some credit! Embrace the positive spirit and get a bit more joy from what you're achieving.

    Fantastic to see the windsurfers on their fins. This is why surfing is so much fun: blasting, carving, jumping, planing and jibing.

    only true heroes can master these winds and waves like you guys do. Well done to all the riders out there. Beautiful footage. You guys set a new definition of how windsurfing is supposed to be done. Sets a new standard for all of us…..

    Bump and jump, rock and roll, windsurfing has got the X factor. This is what slalom used to be and has come back to life. Great work Nico and the PWA. Would be great for all competitors to have GPS trackers so we can see how fast the best in the world are. Sailors seem to be loving it, mega action and thanks for bringing excitement back to the sport. Would love to see you guys do this in the Gorge.

  • @dveziris
    @dveziris 3 місяці тому +6

    Slalom X is really interesting and i hope it will boost the sport. I would really like to see an upwind section as a feature on the race. Best of fun to all there!

  • @RobGoris123
    @RobGoris123 3 місяці тому +4

    This is great reporting, and it’s fantastic to see that fin racing is back, just like in the old days. It’s that magical combination of skill, strength, guts and a bit of luck that makes it so rewarding to watch. Drone footage is the icing on the cake. Are we ready to make windsurfing “sellable” again?

  • @jeroenhaverkamp7939

  • @xsurfer2008
    @xsurfer2008 3 місяці тому +1

    The level of all the sailors has been impressive in these conditions, they have all given their best in talent, physically and mentally. Controlling the board at that speed in these conditions requires incredible concentration, just a simple chop can ruin the race. Great sport, great competition and a great show.

  • @antoinehanekom4689

    Don't be too hard on yourself for not getting quite the result you were working for. I'm in my 20th year of every hobby surfer's life long goal to complete a powerjibe - and still far from it :) To all of us you are a great inspiration. Thank you so much for making Windsurfing big again and the great entertainment!
