    This is personally why I do not stand up paddle. It is simply too dangerous. The high speed, the extreme weather you do it in, the insane impacts when you hit the water falling in from 3cm above water level... The risk is just not worth it even for the thrill of going 5kmh with way too much effort

    Shoutout to the sailor using your GER7 for showing you're always faster and make effortless gybes with pro gear. 😀
    No really, you're a legend for bringing across such positive spirit despite the unfortunate injury, Nico. I wish you a quick recovery allowing for some Sylt comp prep!

    Yes 2mm Split Toe Super Freak booties!!! Wear it when you need to protect your feet from rocks, coral or UV. Also I think you can tuck them into your lower mast sleeve to ride bare in the straps. Or use a "mushroom anchor" (which is safe to step on) and rope to an empty milk jug with a clip for the boots - leave it out on the water the whole vacation... Protect feet when not on the windsurf board at all costs!!!

    Sorry that you couldn’t join at me at the IFCA WORLDS in Hvide Sande this week. Hope the healing goes smoothly and quickly. In five years Turkey is gonna be the dominant windsurf country at events. They had so many young sailors at IFCA, super impressive

    You’re like a rockstar. You’re lucky you’re not doing a more popular sport, otherwise you couldn’t walk the streets without paparazzi coming after you 😂. All jokes apart, you’re a great ambassadors for the sport. And we really really need that.

    Exactly at Alacati I've injured my foot by cutting my toes with the windsurf fin. I know it sounds weird but I've fallen towards the back of my board when trying to waterstart and then the board somehow lifted it's tail and exposed the back of the fin which is really sharp and yeah... blood all over and then feeling down. Fortunately they have a great surgery clinic nearby and they sew me nicely. I've recovered in half a year but at that time at Alacati, just the fact that it happened in my 2nd day there and all the rest of my stay I had to sit on a chair and watch everybody speeding around, it was super frustrating. Take some homeopathic Arnica CH7 / CH9 and maybe it'll help speed up the process. Good luck healing fast!

      Thanks!! I’d did take some Arnica, no idea if it helps haha

    I've always sailed with at least the 2mm ONeil super freak split toe for easier shallow rocky water entry and exit and to protect the skin in the big toe knuckle and prevent sunburn but about zero chance I would have been wearing them for bozo sup session. 😢

      The same happened to me 2 days ago. Now I'm duct-taping it to the neighbouring toe. I hate wearing shoes for sailing.

    A bigger disaster would be if the whole leg was torn off, the knee was broken, the neck was broken and you were paralyzed for the rest of your life. Compared to the above, you got off very lightly.
    Nice films, thanks.
