When the lockdown started last spring I saw windsurfers blasting over my local lake, I got curious about this sport, then I found this wonderful video with music from my teenage years, it really resonated with me, since then I'm totally hooked to this incredible sport! Thanks for making such beautiful videos!
Wooooouuuuwww... what a great Vid. This shows perfectly, how exciting and terrific Speed-Windsurfing in flatwater is... Great job, Paul. Thanx a bunch.
Greetings back from a Dutch windsurf fan! I guess your Dutch roots go back a long way? Is there a relation with the Van Bellen windsurf store over here (close to my home spot in Zeeland)? Anyway, great speed spot you have over there!
@@AlainNLDB hey mate, yeah I was born in Dirksland and came to Australia in 1978 with my parents when I was 1 year old. Van Bellen Surf was started by my uncle Loo who sold the business some years ago but they kept the name because it was well known. Must be my Dutch roots that explains why I love windsurfing!
Reminds me of my old windsurfing days down at Narbonne and Port Leaucate in the noughties, speedsailing up and down the Med coast in on offshore Tramontana with a then young Antoine Albeau...excellent bid and good to hear The Cure as the soundtrack. Top drone skills too.
Amazing, and edit effort just as extreme, but to us former sailboarders, this video is truly astounding. Nothing quite beats the thrill of speed on a sailboard...especially the times having Botany Bay to myself in >20 knots when should have been in chemistry lecture/class!
Love this video Paul ! So well filmed + really gets across the crazy speeds they are travelling. At 1:37 the other windsurfer is doing the type of speed that most beginner windsurfers do...then the speed windsurfer totally storms past !! Really makes me want to get back to my windsurfing days with my Pryde rig etc..also just seen the board almost spinning out at 3:42 on the wave crests - looks like top end of force 6 or even 7, so a hefty sail for that bit.
Hi Alex, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, that other windsurfer was on freestyle gear so not a fair comparison by any stretch. When looking at the footage of me working upwind at 3:42 it does look like I'm spinning out but it is actually just the poor tracking ability of the small fins we use. That day I was using an 18cm long weed fin, this gives best access to the super shallow water and provides minimal wetted surface at speed. It tracks straight well enough at speeds above 30kts and when heading off the breeze, however, working upwind is difficult, especially if you start slowing down. These well designed fins can handle this angle of attack without fully spinning out.
@@detlevmueller2080 Wow. The technology has certainly moved on a lot from when I used to Windsurf back in the 80's + 90's with just one humble fin + watching out for the occasional anchor chain from moored boats. Also do you know how may knots you were going on that day or what your fastest speed has ever been. You mention 35 knot wind. Do you still use speed propellers on the fins ?
@@alexcave7573 we're now using Doppler GPS technology to log our speeds, in the video you can see them stuck to our shoulders. That day we were doing between 39 and 41kts. The fastest I have gone so far is 42.5kts at Primbee. Others have done up to 44kts at Primbee.
@@detlevmueller2080 Wow. You did 42 knots !! That is so quick. Most of the rib rescue boats do not even go that fast, so you could potentially speed past them if they were out at the same time rescuing someone at sea. In fact 42 knots is more akin to power boat speeds and to think that you were doing this under sail power!
Yes, things can go wrong very quickly at those speeds. Most injuries are from hitting our gear at speed rather than hitting the ground. Our biggest risks are striking submerged objects, logs etc, especially after rain.
Thought the same. I am always afraid in the shallow water. No water start but possibly injuries. Wearing a helmet is a must. Can not understand people without a helmet going that fast.
Rest assured John, we're already working hard to lure Paul back for a noreaster with the promise of good speed but a lot more gybing action, perhaps some choreographed runs, and all in a more drone-friendly wind!
Sounds good - and if you want some wind waves to show some air then try the Whyjuck Bay (Reddall Parade) to Kanahooka Point and.- its 3.5 klms and a great run
saw the other vid of you guys in primbee. and it was so exiting. even the background sound [love somebody else] matched so perfect ..I wish I had that wind here in Miami...regards 🤙
Awesome sailing and video, in chocolate water, yum! Thks for sharing. Watching this hurts my ribs as I just got caught full speed (well, not as fast as this) in a kelp bed and got launched..
Excellent, I would never dare taking out my phantom 4 in those kinds of wind! However this will help me try with probably stronger winds than I usually do :) The Cure!!! does remind me some good teenage years :)
If you look on Google earth I go in San Pablo bay waist deep & I stay to the left up high but the fetch makes the waves build up fast great for jumping but not for speed like what your doing there! I noticed you stay in the middle of the lake if you get close do the trees act as a wind block? We all launch from Bullhead flats.and stay high if you don't you might spend the night in the bay or have to be rescued !
@@sqeakgeek Ah I see! I had a look on the map... looks like a great stretch of water to sail! if you go close to the trees at Prime the water is too shallow.
Paul van Bellen Well hey man if U find your self in the Bay Area look me up here & I will take U there kind of a secret spot only good on a northwest wind Also much less likely bumping into a white shark I am up in Sonoma county now & go to Bodega Bay where running into a large shark more possible BUT so is getting stung be a bee? However you won't lose a limb to a bee!😂👀😱
Чудове відео, просто супер швидкість, дякую Паул. Я початківець в віндсерфінгу. Але мрію, що через деякий час теж буду так літати! З повагою, з України!
Another awesome video! You fly so close and low to the action, amazing skills. I'm surprised how well the Phantom 4 is working for you in that much wind. I think My Phantom 3 would be drifting down wind quickly.
Gimbal lock ups and overloads at extreme tilt angles. That why switched to a Mavic 2 Pro. No longer has the problem and picks up less vibration when flying at the limit.
@@windsurfer flew in 35+ last week no problem. Aircraft it a lot more "twitchy" then the Phantom 4. This combined with the relatively small controller makes smooth flying a little bit more tricky. Still working on the exp / gain settings. The gimbal design is a lot better then on the Phantom in my opinion. It freely rotates regardless of aircraft tilt. Hoping to post some video soon.
You're a pretty posh Dutchy, when you fly from Amsterdam to Primbee Lake, just for TWO days windsurfing. Van Bellen? Sounds like Van Halen. Great video!
G'day M I, I was using an iSonic Speed Special W49 Board with a UFO 18cm 50 degree weed fin. Sails were a Gun GSR 6.3 and a Simmer SC Speed 5.8. Mark was also sailing an iSonic Speed Special W49 with an MUF Delta XT 16 fin and a North Warp 5.7 Sail. Keith was on a Naish SP80 with a custom 18cm fin and a Neil Pryde EVO 5.5 sail. Happy days!!
Hi Roman, we use shallow water weed speed fins. That day I was using a UFO 18cm fin with a 50 degree rake. Such raked fins are also safer if we hit the bottom.
Great skills, I didn't know drones could keep up with speed boards. Tell me, how can a big lake be so flat in speed board conditions, is it very shallow?
mark051262 thanks mate. The lake is shallow where they are sailing it’s like 20-40cm deep which means chop doesn’t build up like in deeper water. Also there is some weed under the water too which also helps break down chop energy resulting in flat water in strong winds!
Hi Kostas, water is semi-tidal so varies by about 20-50cm over the sailing area. On this day it was about 20-30cm deep. I was using an 18cm fin and hitting the bottom when I started slowing down. That’s why you don’t see any gybes.
NicoBM43 a large section of the lake (500m x 3km) is very shallow when the tide is right. On this day the water was about 20-30cm deep. It makes the chop much smaller, even in strong wind.
Raccoonov glad you enjoyed it. I was using a UFO 18cm 50 degree weed speed fin. Mark was using a Delta XT 16cm fin. These let us get into the shallow flat water on the speed boards. On slalom boards we are using 22-26cm fins.
Hello from France ! I used to practice windsurf and I was wondering how the water could be si flat with the wind speed required to ride that fast ... Until I saw how shallow the water was!
Insane footage. Can imagine you've edited all night, I would have done the same. By the way, not sure if I would dare to use my drone in 35 knots. Good to know it's possible!
"There were heaps of shots I couldn't use because the gimbal was going haywire in the wind." I would've imagined, you were going pretty fast, the wind must be pretty strong.
Hi Jean-Marc, Primbee is best in a W wind, like in the video, which we get mainly from Aug-Nov. Our summer NE is fun but not as strong and the angle means the flat water runs are shorter. We sail there in any direction.
@@windsurfer ah okay, I understand. This is very shallow haha and dangerous I guess. By the way, I love your videos. Especially the ones with extra length and without Music. Its like beeing there on the Spot. Please keep up the Quality. Aweeesome!! 🤙🤙
Water may be shallow, but the experience isn’t. You’re blessed and gifted. Footage is a living dream.

Glad you liked it mate!
@@windsurfer what drone are you using ? Thank you for your time
@@dveziris For this video I was using a DJI Phantom 4. I've now sold that and use a Mavic 2 Zoom.
The passion doesn't know limits. The video is very nice.
I was waiting for someone to attempt a jibe! :)
I never felt more alive than the moments after an epic windsurfing sesh!
Yeah I was hoping for that too but it was too shallow so most of the time they slow down and jump off the board. It was like 20cm deep in places
Absolutely brilliant footage. Great sailing. The spot looks like flat water heaven!
It's a great spot!
That "Love ya buddy!" spray at 3:01. This video was awesome!
Ha! Yeah I like that part too.

Now that's some sweet action!
Great! Thanks. So weird to see people walking around in knee deep water just next to the surfer. With those sails you expect longer fins than that.
Yeah it's a special spot
Sick video ! (again) Incredible how the spot remains ~flat with such a big water space upwind, it has to do with the shallow water I guess.
Ya it's the shallow water.
Wow nice day ! When we have wind like this on S.F.bay in this direction the chop is still 2- 4 feet high your water is so flat in comparison .

mark051262 thanks mate. The lake is shallow where they are sailing it’s like 20-40cm deep which means chop doesn’t build up like in deeper water. Also there is some weed under the water too which also helps break down chop energy resulting in flat water in strong winds!
@@windsurfer Sounds like heaven. I thought I was lucky living around the corner from West Kirby lake, UK, But Primbee looks epic :)
I like watching the vids from West Kirby : )
How shallow is the water? Amazing slides on almost flat water!!
Good question. There seemed to be guys standing in water less than knee deep. Wonder if the depth varies much by season etc.
Hi Kostas, water is semi-tidal so varies by about 20-50cm over the sailing area. On this day it was about 20-30cm deep. I was using an 18cm fin and hitting the bottom when I started slowing down. That’s why you don’t see any gybes.
How many liters have those boards? Around 90?
I’m not sure Leon maybe one of the guys in the video will respond.
Hi Leon, both Mark & I were sailing iSonic Speed Special W49 boards, volume is 64L.
subbed.....sick footage... soo sick
QuintDaSharkHunter thanks!!!
Great vid - no prangs this time! 😀
Chris Wright surprisingly no sail hits ha!
WOW!! How deep is that place?
Anywhere from 200-500mm deep where these guys are sailing. The main body of the lake is I'd guess 4.0m deep on average.
Pretty cool 😃👍
Cheers!
Really nice!!!
Thanks!
why is the water so flat?? the lake seems huge
NicoBM43 a large section of the lake (500m x 3km) is very shallow when the tide is right. On this day the water was about 20-30cm deep. It makes the chop much smaller, even in strong wind.
Stellar. Very nice indeed. What were the speeds the boys were doing? Amazing that the drone could keep up.
Hi Willem, our 2 sec avg speeds were 39-41kts over the two days of filming. Paul did an awesome job to keep up with us and frame the shot too.

Hi Jean-Marc, Primbee is best in a W wind, like in the video, which we get mainly from Aug-Nov. Our summer NE is fun but not as strong and the angle means the flat water runs are shorter. We sail there in any direction.
