That's true. And there is another extreme version - very tall skinny person. For me (2m 80 kg) it took about 10 hours before first successful sailing. High center of mass makes balancing and moving on the board very tricky
I'm a windsurfer sailor and an expert sailor. In my opinion you're right, but the boat should have changed his direction anyway to avoid her. In the sea such rules and laws are important, but changing direction even if you're big just to avoid someone that is in a difficult situation is crucial. In those situations only fools follows perfectly those rules, even if they're going to crash for them. And I know that you think that ;)
This is for all the comments about the girl being missed by the larger powered vessel. It's a spectacular lack of knowledge of the IRPCS (International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea) by both the commenters and the sailors in the clips, that's windsurfers, kite surfers and the power vessel skippers. Rule 12: Sail meets Sail. For sailing vessels approaching other sailing vessels: "the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other". Invariably interpreted as "starboard tack has right of way". Yes that means you too mr kite surfer.... Rule 18: Responsibilities between Vessels (a) A power driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of: (iv) a sailing vessel. The female windsurfer approaching the larger power vessel from the left would have been seen by the power skipper for some time. They (it could be either sex...) should have realised a "risk of collision exists". And acted accordingly. Yes it's hard works taking a powered vessel through a sailing fleet but it is eminently possible with forethought and a good eye for both sports. Five blast on the powered vessels horn usually gets the attention of the windsurfer - although not strictly the correct action the sound indication "I am unclear of your intentions" tends to work well for IOW Ferries in the Solent. Lastly I felt I should add the rule about narrow channels, just before a reader says "but the bigger ship can't get out of the way?" Rule 9: Narrow channels: (b) A vessel of less than 20m in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely only navigate within a narrow channel or fairway" So question: why on earth am I typing this at 06:37 on a Saturday morning (damn you UA-cam). I guess it's the armchair sailors, of which we all become one when we stand on the slipway for dinghy landings, or stand on the dockside for the bigger vessel appraches, who need some gentle education in the way of the water. And amusingly it keeps me in a job in the watersports world.... Regardless of my attention to the rules if I had a GoPro in 1980 when I started windsurfing I could have made a fortune on here.....
Awesome footage. Someone should've filmed me when I though it was plenty distance left to the beachline but it wasn't and the fin hit the bottom and I flew forwards and penetrated my sail with my harness hook...
How fast do you think a vessel of that size can turn or stop at that distance? RIght of way rules does say powered craft have to give right of way to sailing craft, but that doesn't mean sailing craft can just go straight in the path of a large powered vessel and expect them just to stop on a dime or carve either which way of them instantly. Common sense is required by both captains.
Avoid the the things that we can avoid -- such as not going too close to the kitesurfers/boats, make sure its not hard to get out of footstraps/to unhook, etc.
omg stresses me out how reckless people are with these, those sails/rigs are expensive! i just bought my first one i can't imagine smashing it around like that HAHA
and if she had closed the sail a bit more and pumped a few she could've easily get away from the boat IMAO :) anyways thank God she did'n get hurt and that's what matters.
I give my like to that big guy in 1:25 ! It's not easy to learn, windsurfing if have a overweight, so I hope he now handle it !
Thumbs UP !

Aš irgi su antsvoriu, bet jau plaukioju.
Aš pradėjau mokytis iš kart su 7 kvadratų bure.
Jam burė per maža, kaip tokiam sunkiam žmogui.
not fun this dude trying . i respect it so much 1:21

the chick who crashed in front of the boat got seriously lucky
@Guybrush Threepwood didn't she have right of way tho? i don't know how big the boat was but usually motorized have to give way to non motorized
Thx for this, it's super funny, as a beginner windsurfer i can see myself doing couple of those in teh days to come.
Yea... 5 years later now ur probly a pro windserfer... Doing foil.
@@lavasquantum.9042 foil doesn’t require 5 years of experience
@@Aminuteofsun yea but you know, recently most of the nuce surfers are swithing to foil and most of the begginers dont start off with foil
Love it that was me at 2:47 ... what sandbar ... splat!
Fun to watch. Been through some myself. Nice compilation.

Merchant Officer unlimited/Domestic Skipper here:
You are absolutley correct. Kudos for remembering rule 9, too many sailing vessels dont.
2:37 !! How is that trick called. That's some amazing variation of body drag :D. Never seen something like this. Insane :)!!
2:00 THAT STILL COUNTS!!!
Is the original footage for 2:32 somewhere to be found on UA-cam?
That was pretty dam good!
0:47 - broken mast?
yes
Awesome footage. Someone should've filmed me when I though it was plenty distance left to the beachline but it wasn't and the fin hit the bottom and I flew forwards and penetrated my sail with my harness hook...
2:36 is just insane!
2:36
this 2:00 crash is just priceless
Hilarious!! Make another one
teabaggers? In Spain they are commonly known as flying sanitary pads.
very much familiar :-) hey the summer is back. lets surf 2014!
Шикарная подборка

best wipeouts video EVER !!
how do you escape your feet in min 0:40?
marvellous compilation

...hi Nick, still going strong. We are with you at the 04.12.2018. Dont worry`!!! Uschi+Herb.
this movie is the best on yt! :)
omg stresses me out how reckless people are with these, those sails/rigs are expensive! i just bought my first one i can't imagine smashing it around like that HAHA
Hey if u dont crash your not trying
I think this was one of the best ones,like a ragdoll
omg so painful and also some expensive equipment gone
That song was irritating, who was that ?
2:32 is a total win!!
Hint: Look under the video. Right hand bottom.
not if the boat is bigger than 50 foot
Hate to say it but not his obligation, his turning radius would've been much larger then the windsurfers. At least she didn't get hurt.
great video thanks uri
I'm a windsurfer, and most windsurfers shit on kiteboarders, but most of these collisions were the windsufers' faults.
Hopefully I’ll do a little better! Planning on leaving waves out of the equation! Hope the cruiser at least put it in neatural!
The person getting mowed down by the boat 😆
EPIC PARKING STYLE 1:08
The best ones are when they crash on the kites
That's how I broke my leg
great video
I agree!
0:33 In soviet Russia windsurf rides you!
fr3ds4t 00:33
yes)
Kiter op 2:06, heeft geluk dat het geen speeder was die over hem heen voer. Anders lag ie in 2e xD
Madooo quello della navetta impressionante.
yeah that's right, you can see the sign clearly.,....
What's so obvious about it?
mort de rire, bravo pour la compilation
ME like it!
3.00 horiblle! Who drive that ship, it wos his obligation to avoid sailing vessel, he allmost killed her!
big boat like this? not...
Ouch!
someone trying a triple front???
UUuu no..., motorised craft yields for wind powered.
2:18 fail
Yes
I made all of these crashes.
wow
2:41 see it cominnn
double body loop :D
nah the teabaggers probably deserve it..
Expectations vs Reality. lol

naah 2:32 is EPIC PARKING!
se me han quitao las ganas de seguir navegando jaj
2:33 wtf
It would be an awesome gif.
Yeah, nice shoot :-))) !!!
UUuu no ... the lady just didn't know how to surf ,thats all :)
