Fabienne d'Ortoli, two times kitesurf world champion, is wakeboarding behind Yvan Bourgnon 60 feet trimaran during Defi Petit Navire (Douarnenez, France, July 2006) Awesome!! (www.sr-douarnen...)
Great contrast with the wough ride of the wake boarders and the seemingly effortless power of the trimaran. Stunning piece of footage. I'm very jealous.
Whoo - woooo!! Says it all!! We own a 26 foot trimaran and have hit 24 knots once and 20 knots many times and wondered how we could get a wake/kite boarder behind our boat. Now I know I need a zodiac for a chase craft! KUDOS to this team of French adrenaline junkies!
The wakeboarding was cool for about 30 seconds, (not including when the guy wiped out). What really blew me away was seeing that trimaran up on one outrigger. It's cool to see on a smaller trimaran, but this thin is a monster.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for just letting this excellent clip run without any background music. And the shots of that trimaran riding on just one outrigger are amazing.
Brilliant. The power of these machines has to be seen and felt to be believed. And look at the amount of wind that it does it in: almost no wind at all. And it doesn't matter if it's kite surfing or wakeboarding, wouldn't it be just great to do it anyway
That Brossard Tri is incredible, Its like a huge hydrofoil when the wind hits it. I'd say its deadyly around the med, but it looks pritty fragile for sailing in any kind of heavy weather.
I wasn't aware they were towing from the mast but on inspection it looks like the lines are coming from about 20 ft below the first set of spreaders. In flat water I should think there is sufficient strength there. Water colour depends on cloud cover and pollution, not just depth. The keen eyed may also notice the presence of a helicopter. looks like a safe environment for rescue if anything goes wrong. Btw, you can't dismiss their experience as trivial, yet highlight mine as pivotal.
this is unbelievable amazing. des video ist de absolute oberhammer. ein tri von knapp 10 m breite auf einem schwimmer gleiten zu sehn ist schon wahnsinn, wenn man an die geschwindigkeit dabei denkt. dei backbordleute sind ja teilwweise bestimmt 6-7 m über dem wasser
the two on the wakeboards are employees that did not perform as expected, the ride until one falls, competing to see which one keeps their job. hes a mate of mine and does this all the time
LOL like it up on one hull. Definately a smoother ride on the trimaran than the boards! Mythbusters could have used a trimaran instead of a ship that day....much more exciting
Back then: trimaran, board, helicopter and cameraman. These days: foiling trimaran, foil boards, drone with a goPro, vests, impact vests, helmets, eye protection.
water skiing, with a fat board, I guess because of the slow speed. How high are the tow lines from the water? Does the trimaran have a hydrofoil were it looks like the center board would be?
if you look at other sports.. for example basketball: - i wear out one pair of shoes in 1 1/2 year and then your need to buy shorts and tanks and so on.. - you'll need a kite (which loose around 30-40% in value the first year) so buying a used one is much cheaper.. then a board and a pair of surf-shorts or weatsuite is not that expensive around winter shen it's often sale on this kind of stuff
what about the man who fell off?? wasnt that a man overboard situation... I hope he got picked up by the follow boat. and.... the Helicopter. Doesnt it affect the wind pattern around the trimaran?
To everyone posting about how they have done this from smaller craft.....ever done so while beating to windward? They are in this video, which is quite impressive.
A lot of money that shows the world it is no oil leaking and still having fun. Riding wind, waves, earth, without any other energies than renewable is respectable as it will help us getting free of oil lobbies Helicopter was one time, world watch it for 3 years now. Good global deal to me
Some explain to me why this is a big deal. Big monster tri and they don't even pull them up out of the water. To put this in perspective, a used 17 foot Thistle which can be purchased for less than 2 grand, will pull a water skier up out of the water. They did it back in the 70s.
Ive done this on Holiday with a boat about a third of the size- we called it bilge boarding :) Can't really call it Kitesurfing when there's no kite involved...
Really am missing the original upload of this video from around 2008... had the greatest song playing in the background... can't seem to find it now
Great contrast with the wough ride of the wake boarders and the seemingly effortless power of the trimaran. Stunning piece of footage. I'm very jealous.
it is not kitesurfing, it is wakeboarding. You nave to have a kite and a harness for Kite surfing.
Un trimaran gîtant autant à cette allure est toujours aussi magnifique!

That boat is amazing. I love trimarans. Some beautiful hull flying there!
Love the shot of the skipper, tiller in one hand, sheet in the other ; )
It is, of course. And the rudder of the center hull IS out of the water, that's why they have a small one on each swimmer, too.
excellent, nice idea, i ve already seen that with only one person behind , and it s still exiting to watch this and imagine the feelings of the riders
I'm salivating over that boat. Trimaran, 60 ft. and it looks like it cuts through the water like a knife through butter.
ugh sailgasm.

I can't believe how much that trimaran was heeling at 2:25! Wow!
Impressed with the helicopter flying sideways behind at 1:50.

Well, if you watch the whole thing it might be boring, but pretty awesome to see a Tri up on one hull!
Very graceful, especially when flying on just the outrigger. like small fish following a giant stately manta
nice and quiet no engine noise !! fast boat,thanks for posting

Awesome!
Must be fun boarding a sailboat.
And speaking of sailboats, that tri is SWEET!!
Let me sail with you guys pleeease
Some people actually DO own the world.
What a beautiful boat..
Thats a dream for every,who kite surf/wakeboarding sport do. Great! :-)
that was so amazing when the trimaran was so hi in the air...
that would be so much fun to ride in..
I hadn't noticed those little fins on the outer hulls. You are right.
It was more awesome seeing the trimaran get out of the water and the chopper flying sideways behind than anything else.
the two on the wakeboards are employees that did not perform as expected, the ride until one falls, competing to see which one keeps their job. hes a mate of mine and does this all the time
Mutlyhulls are soo much more fun then the balasted staff!!!
Way to go guys! Awesome! Sooooo jelaous!
What an amazing ride. great footage
there's no wake when you flying two of the three hulls. . just brilliant. .
LOL like it up on one hull. Definately a smoother ride on the trimaran than the boards! Mythbusters could have used a trimaran instead of a ship that day....much more exciting
Beautiful boat!!!!!!! I love this vid!!!!
Back then: trimaran, board, helicopter and cameraman. These days: foiling trimaran, foil boards, drone with a goPro, vests, impact vests, helmets, eye protection.
whatever about their symantics. . the boat is their kite. . crazy amazing footage and brilliant idea. . nice going. .
Looks like a really great way to spend the day :)
it s called bilge boarding i think. originally used planks from the bilge of a boat and the bosons chair. this is mental with a trimaran, whoop whoop
Watching that trimaran was awsome. I want one, haha.
Awesome!!!!
Not fussed about the wakeboarders...but that trimaran looks amazing!!
wakeboarding behind.... a sailboat
still blows my mind
Extraordinary video !!
water skiing, with a fat board, I guess because of the slow speed.
How high are the tow lines from the water?
Does the trimaran have a hydrofoil were it looks like the center board would be?
Looks more like an ordeal for the skiers, but that triamaran came fairly near to capsizing, a major repair job if it did!!
insane! this is so cool! I dont know where I would rather be on the boat or on the board! more like wakeboarding actually :)
Carrement halucinant le trimaran sur un coque , le capitaine est crinqué! Très bon video!
nice boat. is that long keel skeg standard for that type of hull? is that adjustable?
I prefer monocasc boats, but i must admit this trimaran is something. There is a vid with music about this.
BEAUTIFUL..
Actually it's wakeboarding ;)
The velocity is!!!
if you have a line that high, the pop you can generate is huge, USE IT!!!
That trimaran looks awesome!
I'd like to learn how to navigate it...
if you look at other sports.. for example basketball:
- i wear out one pair of shoes in 1 1/2 year and then your need to buy shorts and tanks and so on..
- you'll need a kite (which loose around 30-40% in value the first year) so buying a used one is much cheaper.. then a board and a pair of surf-shorts or weatsuite is not that expensive around winter shen it's often sale on this kind of stuff
wow love it, is this what you call living on the edge lol.
I got a hobie tandem Island myself and love that.
Can you do this on a smaller trimaran as well?? Nice speed and beautiful video!
getting the trimaran to surf might have been expensive... getting the helicopter was certainly priceless
what about the man who fell off?? wasnt that a man overboard situation... I hope he got picked up by the follow boat. and.... the Helicopter. Doesnt it affect the wind pattern around the trimaran?
do they have a rudder on each of the three hulls?
To everyone posting about how they have done this from smaller craft.....ever done so while beating to windward? They are in this video, which is quite impressive.
awesome, next episode?
is this the same kind of trimaran that was used in Watreworld?
That's a beautiful Hydrofoil at least, looks almost like it's flying.
A lot of money that shows the world it is no oil leaking and still having fun.
Riding wind, waves, earth, without any other energies than renewable is respectable as it will help us getting free of oil lobbies
Helicopter was one time, world watch it for 3 years now.
Good global deal to me
that has a hyrdofoil dagger board as well!! lol so awsome
very good indeed
@TheFrogination
Don't you need "wake" to "wakeboard"?
talk about some rich people... Dang i wish i could do that :), also i love your boat or what ever you call it! lol :)
agree!
amazing....
This is UNBELIEVABLE !!!! RAD
i love that boat!
The kite is the big fabric thing on top of the boat!
awesome sailboat!!!!!!incredible
well if you consider the tri as a kite, it is kiteboarding.you can also say that it's wakeboarding but with a kiteboard!vive douarn, vive la baie
Thats the biggest effing trimaran ive seen. Thats crazy. Holy crap how do they get that around...the effing sail is like 50 feet up there?!
very cool.
Nice boat , good idea.
Actually description says it. Kitesurfer wakeboarding...
nice video. next time you should use a drone to make the aerial filming. Less noise and better angles.
Perfect setup for one of those cheezy megalodon videos.
looks like fun to me, nice boat!!!
that really goes into your arms when you ride at that high speed:P
thank you.
They are probably highly experienced.
What about the boat is ill fitted?
It is not offshore if you can see the shore...
sweet video that boat is hauling ASS! whats generally faster of two boats the same length a Tri or a Cat?
i think it just looks fun dude!!
Some explain to me why this is a big deal. Big monster tri and they don't even pull them up out of the water. To put this in perspective, a used 17 foot Thistle which can be purchased for less than 2 grand, will pull a water skier up out of the water. They did it back in the 70s.
Is that a hyfrofoil under the main hull? Also put on some damn life jackets
we could power the world,just with wind energy,this is a good example of wind power.
you need a good fitness level for that, where can i book such kind of wake tour?
Well with the height that hull gets out of the water there is no wake and the rope is angled so i suppose its like kite/wake boarding death mix lol
wow now that is brilliant 5 star
What company manufacture that trimaran?
Awesome. Looks fun.
what type of trimaran is it
Then suddenly...a Shark! :0
Nice video. :)
COOL
it's more like WAKEBOARDING, even though the wake is provided by a sailboat
great idea .... well done !!!
where are those kites???
Ive done this on Holiday with a boat about a third of the size- we called it bilge boarding :) Can't really call it Kitesurfing when there's no kite involved...
Awesome boat.
