Can’t believe you’re still putting out videos PVB. Totally amazing job mate. I felt like I was actually there in Fiji for the past couple of weeks. It was like the Truman show.😂

My favourite windsurf reporter, thank you for your effort and I wish you can make it to Pozo . I learned a lot from this series. Thank you 🤙🤙

Thanks Paul! All the content you created has been great. I am looking forward for some more action videos from the competition days. The "best waves" clip is awesome but I am sure there's some more worthy raw footage and of course the crash part :). I hope you can make it to more events in the future. Maui final would be awesome.

End of a great chaper. Well, not yet. When the final edit drops. You definitely brought more faces, moments and personalities into the equation versus just the regular vision we had of people based purely on their sailing. Thank you, and good luck that side with the next one.

Paul, Appreciate and love all your previous windsurfing videos. Special thanks to your game-changing, extensive, first-behind-the-scene coverage in Fiji. Since I am lucky enough to ride the custom boards made by Ed Angulo, Jimmy Lewis, Peter Thommen, and currently Keith Tabeou, learning the weights and specs of the world-class sailers is most insightful. Keep up your excellent work.

Thanks for all the work Paul. I'll probably watch the whole series over a couple of times😂. You should start a patreon account,. I can only speak for myself but I would gladly chip in to fund your future trips. Please do some more lives with Ben also, they were great also. 🤙🤙

@@windsurfer - I notice that you are now back in Sydney. It seems like a culmination of the van life tour you started a few years back. Am I right or does it just seem that way? If so is there any chance of a video about that and what plans you have next for yourself and the channel.

@windsurfer Жыл бұрын

@@mattyclare yeah I could do that. Yes I left Maroubra almost 3 years ago and I came back. But I’ve now bought another place in Geraldton so I’m going there for the summer. Whereabouts are you in the world mate?

@mattyclare Жыл бұрын

@@windsurfer - I'm in the North west of England near to Manchester. I sail at a place called West Kirby, Its on the Dee estuary , its famous for speed sailing because when the tide goes out there is a wall that traps the water and makes a marine lake. The sailing on the lake is pretty similar to Primbee I guess, mirror flat. I need to get into the waves more , especially after watching this latest series. I'm going to make more effort to get over to Rhosneigr (Bens old home spot) when the winds return. What do you do for work that allows you the freedom to move about , as a matter of nosiness/jealousy?

Hi Paul Thanks for the : Sail too Survive documentary. Your previous videos have been great in their own bellen style, I particularly liked your 3 day trip. But this Fiji journey you took us all on, has been amazing, I understand why you are drained of energy and need a break, but you’ll be missed at the coming event’s, thanks again for an absolutely great behind the scenes story and some amazing drone footage, looking forward to what’s coming from and for you in the future.
