    these videos are way better than the ones you do in the windsurfing tv:
    you take us with you to different locations
    you talk about the gear
    location
    weather
    you show us action
    talk us through the session in general the feel the speed thr conditions etc...
    you talk about all the little things that matter
    whats else to ask for?
    i quite enjoy these videos.
    good work!!

      yeah.. well just trying to give a little something for everyone. As everyone doesn't like the same thing. But the idea is to introduce some of them to WindsurfingTV with other riders too.

    Quantex looks interesting! Maybe you can have a special about eurowave boards. Would be great to give some background intel about waveboards designs (and which size to pick as a one-board-solution) and how compact shapes can help Average Joe catch more waves. Keep up the good work!

    hi it's incredible how good the modern wave board performs. last time i used one it was my angulo with phaser bottom some 35 or more years ago. it is so small and narrow and no volume at all.i don't know how i could ride that thing. i certainly wouldn't be able to ride it today. i really like your talking during the session explaining how you are dealing with the conditions . thanks for the video ☮️🌴

    • @Ben-Proffitt

    No rocks at Fonte da Telha! Not much much wind either unfortunately (but great for learning float and ride!).
    Great video, nice to see those effortless gybes and hear your wind/wave advice. Do let us know if you intend to offer clinics in Portugal.
    Of course the other most unpredictable creatures in the water are Wingfoilers - and they have spikes!

    Love the video as always. When you do your flat water slalom type video, I would love to understand your thought process on when you get in the rear strap. It is hard to tell sometimes from your video, but to me, it almost looks like you get into the back strap early and push the board onto plane. I typically go front strap and wait to plane before shifting back. I am only an intermediate windsurfer and focus mainly on freer race riding. I have seen better sailers around me plane earlier with smaller gear by doing something similar to what I have seen you do and would love to understand the movement… sail position, body position, etc. most of them do it as muscle memory, and like anything in windsurfing, it is difficult to explain until you can do it yourself.

    Hi Ben, definitely would appreciate a refresh on the micro backloops with some advice on the key mistakes you've seen us making. If you need footage of it all being done wrong just let me know, it's a bit of a signature move that never goes right!

    Hi Ben, the new X4 is a bit bigger than the X3, it can perform 8k instead of 5.7k. So better capacity to re-frame but need a bigger SD card and a good computer which can handle 8k.

    • @Ben-Proffitt
