The most comprehensive slalom documentary I've ever watched! Screaming Ben was hilarious 🤣. Impressive gybes, apart from one 🙈 I've had the same eyebrows problem (42y) - just trim it! It works and you'll look 5y younger. Well done Ben, massive efforts payed off 👏
It's ALL about tuning... & TRIM!!
Tune your GEAR,
Tune your BODY,
Tune your MIND,
Then... nail your START (if you can?),
& TRIM your eyebrows!!
THEN you can conquer the WORLD!!!
Mark Chippendale haha.. 😁👌🏻
That's a great pleasure to watch You playing and having a big fun from Windsurfing! It's easy to see You don't have to and You just can and want! Great fun watching that episode! Stay having a fun and spread it around!
Bartek Musiał thanks... that’s the good thing doing something you love! 😁💪🏻💪🏻
Best one yet! Excellent editing, great comments and hilarious fun to watch.
Fons van den Hove cheers mate 👍🏻 glad you liked it
So funny, I couldn't see where I was going my eyebrows are too long🤣
Thank you for over 40 minutes of smiling! You are 'THE MAN"! CONGRATS AND THANKS for sharing, creating, inspiring and just being a super positive person that makes the windless days joyful (in front of TV, but anyway). Your passion, honesty and being so amature-friendly makes your clips amazing and worth showing. If I have to show someone what the windsurfing is the whole sport is about I usually imagine and describe you man and show your videos! Thanks for your hard work and all the effort !!!
These videos are awesome. Sagres looks great, after seeing this video I would love to go there to compete with you guys in those conditions. It is a long ride from Czech Republic, though.
Loved it ! So funny, and such good shoots !! You are a jibing machine ....but you need to work on your yelling. LOL ! Thanks Ben !
Nice chaps! As last year. And exciting! Well done and thank you, Ben!😁👏🤙
Good video. Great fun on the water. I wish I was there.
As we say in French... The English man us kinda cunning :-)
Like..."Someone ripped my 7.0" and shouting at every jibe ; but you do an amazing job!!
YOU ROCK Ben - Can't wait to hear you comment PWA again soon...
Wow, this is soooooooooo entertaining! One of your best shows!!! Five stars ***** deluxe
Never Boring ! You and Nico Prien are great values for windsurfing media survival... There is a guy phil95 who also gives his time to post video very pleasant to see when you stuck at home as no wind.. Keep going guys !
Fantastic episode, Ben. I was hooked in from start to finish 😅
So cool to see you progress and push with the top guys this year
never laughed so much at a sport report!!!
Super entertaining, thank you!
Great video. Thanks Ben and your team.
You’re a good sailor. I like how humble you are.
„my legs..no Ben..no“ 😆😆😂...awesome video, enjoyed it so much. Thanks...keep up your great work for this brilliant sport! Cheers 🍻
wow :D I loved all of it! Great Video!
1) save for 2nd boom 2) work on the legs 3) endurance 4) shave eye brows.....sounds like you have a solid plan to take it to the next level for next year Ben 😁
BroeskyBro haha... at least I’ve sorted number 4!!! 😂😂
Windsurfing.TV haha...well done!!! Your vids are a joy to watch...it really makes my day 👍
Mate, your your videos are so epic and fun that I feel like coming back to slalom competition again.
Psychological distress is one trick for sure can be used. Not very sporty though. Always try to protect your windward by pointing a bit up right from each buoy.
If you get Vasco shaved I will consider a comeback. =D
It's great to see such long lost friends!
Keep up with the great work! Cheers!
loved that. looks loads of fun with a great bunch
What a great friendly fun video. Well done Ben!!
Excelente, entretenido! Ganas de navegar, aqui invierno! (Argentina)
Brilliant video Ben, congrats on the result!
Good content good racing! Ben, what a legend what a man
Learning a lot mate, by watching. Good to know you have improved. Nothing wrong with plugs...so long as you are up there lol
Another great video Ben. Can you tell us what did you learn about fins this time round? What were your board sail fin combos? Also great shots,we could feel the speed!!!
Yes, entertaining! Thanks!
It's a shame they built blocks so close to the sea at vila do bispo. They ruined the spot.
Brilliant stuff!!
great footage, nailed the camera work :)
Well done Ben! Fun vid.
Great Video! Hope to get to Sagres one day!
more of this please and more foiling hehe
4th it's really great man!!!!
epic and fun!
Very nice vid!!!
Awesome!
Super cool video! What kind of helmet mount are you using for your gopro Max?
Brilliant entertainment!
We need to get you doing the ukwa slalom !!
how cool is to see how passionated you are for all kinds of our sport. This idiots guide nails it! what a pleasure to watch and learn something. BTW interesting style of beach starts and gybing! Keep on please
Cheers mate.. beach start: Maybe I put my front foot on first so I didn’t sink the back of the board to keep the fin safe! 😁
Just switched from Pry(ce)d to Simmer, Ben proved it’s competitive! Good job Ben👍
Another fun video to watch, congrats on the third place. If I wanted to record myself jibing so I can get some advice from someone else, what camera and viewpoint/mount location do you suggest?
Well the 360 cameras are awesome. As you can pick your shot afterward. The main things you need to see to improve gybing are hands and feet movement (the timing of and position) . So you need to be able to see them in the shot.
Great episode! My slalom gear hangs in the garage gathering dust sadly. My flat water go to rig is an ancient AHD Diamond 64 board and NP 8.4, but it can still get up and go. Your so lucky to be in a place where the wind actually blows. Florida’s west coast in the summertime is flat and calm. Weeks go by with little or no breeze. Great sailing on your part challenging the front runners and the video coverage was superb.
J. Archard for sure.. sagres is an awesome place! Well, that’s why I moved here! 😁
Hope you get some wind soon.. I’ll send some over! 😁
@@WindsurfingTV Didn't realise you live in/near Sagres - jealously levels rising fast... :)
Iain Arthur just moves here in December 😁🚀🚀
@@WindsurfingTV Dislike intensifying....:)
@@WindsurfingTV Yeah well, I just had shit session in an onshore f3/4 with a rising high tide at Hayling Island - how do you like them bananas :). Oh right, feck....:)
Super fun to watch man! What is your weight and height?? (Just to compare with myself) Congrats...👊👊💯
Yanki Ozdogan thanks 😁. 174cm and 78kg
Great vid! It would be soooo interesting to have a race where half of the guys are on Sputnik 265 and MKIV or similar and the other half on mew stuff.
SuperMpix I have a plan 😁 ...watch this space!
No chances for oldschool gear unless there is zero wind. Old gear is heavy and slow.
So great to watch, but not cheap to race..
Nice vid! What`s your opinion on the Bic techno 283 Freeriderace as a intermediate board? Greeting from Germany
MINEX HD Bic techno is a great board. But always better if you can try before you buy 👍🏻
What camera are you using on the helmet?
Great video, very enjoyable! Now, for the next video in the "Idiot's Guide to Slalom" series, how about an exploration on how to do this fine tuning? What do you tune first? How do you test? What has the greatest impact?
Yes Marc Shipman-Mueller that’s the plan. As it’s bloody confusing. The plan is to bring a top slalom sailor in. Watch this space! 👍🏻
@@WindsurfingTV That would be great. I have not yet seen anyone explaining a clear methodology on how to go about tuning your gear. I have two suspicions why this is: 1. They know, but want to keep it to themselves as a competitive advantage 2. No one knows and most just do some random testing and arrive with something that seems to work. Very unscientific and no help to novices! The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Marc Shipman-Mueller let’s see... I have a feeling it’s a lot of Feel. So firstly you have to be good enough to know the feelings your fear is giving you.. some good sailors don’t have the best feel. But given the eight kit they fly. Some have amazing feeling and get their gear tuned perfect.. but don’t have natural speed. ... maybe!! 😁
I know what fodase is... :-))) nice video, keep on!
How can I get the board on the leeward rail?
I want a idiots guide to wavesailing!!!
Hey Ben, what kind of Cam do you have in this movie? 360???
Raphael it’s an insta 360 one R on a Helmet mount 👍🏻
@@WindsurfingTV my wish for x-mas :-)
come on legs come on haha
🤙🤙🤙
Are you going to engandin?
i'll be there monday!
Portuguese national championship, Idiots Guide to Slalom Part 4!!!!! #BenProffitt2021
you're faster, i'm still an idiot.
haha... ask my GF... don't worry i'm still an idiot! :)
Beautiful jibing!
Who is bloody measuring in KNOTS …THE BRITS? SO 36 KNOTS IS 66.6 KM/H
Not much social distancing going on at the event, no?
slickvisualpoetry there was actually... everyone you see together hangs out in that group usually. But thanks for mentioning it...
@@WindsurfingTV fair enough.
crap music
Any suggestions? What music would you have used... ?
