17:55 what a legend. That is what windsurfing is all about. Great fun to watch, even the sailwatch under your wetsuit… thanks for sharing all these moments!

Good fun, same great athmosphere as last year! Thanks for this (and for dragging @bblsurfer in front of the camera!). 👏😁🤙

Ben. This is the best You have done since "Idiots guide to speed". Which by the way be the best "series" I have seen on KZfaq. You have influenced me so much that I have started to WS again. 56 years old helicopter pilot.

20:33 props to the drone pilot who got that classic shot. Great pilot!

Haha good to see rigging tips helping you out ;-)

Love it, thanks for the kind words... will be back racing with you... watch out next year ;-)

Yep, made it all the way through. My windsurfing days are done but it was really good to watch, brought back a lot of happy memories. I remember you as a keen little squib at the youth events, so what's changed...?!! Cheers mate!

I watched the whole thing!! I enjoyed all of it!! You're a real bloody hoot Ben, the humour and the serious bits when it needs to be........pure gold in my book!!

thanks a lot for the smile..... ready for wind again.

Ben, you are the best ... really. Fun to watch until the end!!!

95% epic, 5% interesting. Would love to see/hear more from Vilma.

Hi from Sydney Australia! I'm just a beginner so it was really interesting and inspiring seeing what a slalom competition is like, and watching the up-and-comer Brendan since he looks my age. Congrats on the win!

Great video, looked like a lot of fun.

Ben, such a briliant event & great atmosphere there!!! Just watched it while in bed as couldn't fall in sleep :) love it !!!! And I can't sleep again hahahahha

I love how you give us real, honest insights into such an event from a rider's perspective. Especially the talking in the beginning was so interesting! We average freeride windsurfers can relate to all these thoughts: do I have all the screws and parts, what gear fits together and what should I take in the first place... haha

Hey Ben ! Very Nice to walk with you through the whole event and especially your preparation. You present it as it is and it s funny to watch. Also I learned a few things. Congratulations on the winning but that Brandon... keep your eyes on him!

Congratulations on winning something at last apart from the love of everyone who subscribes to your channel. A star is reborn.

Loved this vid Ben, the rigging and chat is really helpful for me who is looking into slalom overall brilliant vid and well done!

hahahaha my downhaul rope looked tattered yesterday and as I was downhauling it the rope snapped on me too 😂 but like you said, I was glad to break it on the beach instead of way off in the water somewhere!

This is one of the best idiots guide I've seen on this channel. Brilliant sense of humour and very interesting. Very well done on making this video! Go Ben 🤙

super good to see the behind the scenes, loved it!

Smiling the whole time watching😊 Well done. Such is the life of a windsurfer, anguishing over what kit to rig. I figure you’re doing well in life if that’s your biggest worry😎 Cheers. Loved it!

Terrific vid Ben. Well done. It was a laugh.

Loved it ! Great tips and funny time !!! Cheers !

Among all those awesome vlogs you've made, Ben, this will be among my favs. Very entertaining, very interesting and hilariously funny! Thanks and looking forward to more!

Like all the comments before, love watching your videos, your so relatable because all of us have done the ," forgot to take the fin cover off" , "Oh this downhaul line will still last another session", BUT NEVER, EVER, have I found a brand new Carbon Boom that I never knew I had...lol. Great Videos Ben, looking forward to your next one already.

So there is a fair bit of Rigging and chatting at the beginning... maybe most of you will skip to the action! 😁

Great video Ben, some interesting and informative little bits as well as some good laughs. Anyone watching this should defo leave you some beer money to allow you to make more content like this!

As always, great footage, bloody funny and thoroughly entertaining!!

Great video! And, by the way, the beginning was very interesting as well! Congratulations to the winner!

Really nice video man. And congrats for the win. Really entertaining to follow you in this process.

Best video yet! Well done. ‘Remind me why I don’t want kids’, they’re not happy! 😂😂🍦

For the fin I go with the width too. However if it's slalom I add only 2 cm or so as you are going fast and you and the carbon fins have a lot of lift, but for freeride and g10 fins especially i would generally add at least 4 cm or so. Glad if this helps some of you. Works for me🤙🤙

Great vid Ben

Loved every bit of it. Especially your rigging tips you learned from the pros. I am new to slalom gear this year so I am sucking up every bit of your slalom videos!

Congrats for the 1st place

Watch under the wetsuit... Absolutely hilarious Ben lol

Congrats for the win!!! The « Hi teletubby » got me😂😂😂😂 Manu thanks for your gearing infos

That was really entertaining to follow youre experiences through the event, also how it went with the other guys. Great episode!

Love it. Good VDO.

Superb action and looked like great fun... hilarious throughout! Thanks for the watch under the wetsuit moment ;-)

Brilliant video, entertaining and Informative, lots of tips and ideas which are priceless. Seriously thinking about venturing into slalom and this was very useful.

The watch underneath the wet suit is a good one, so much more practical...😉😬👌🏼

Brilliant, always love these Sagres slalom videos

enjoyed that.. and great tip with the harness for downhaul. definitely going to use that!

Great coverage !!!

Very good! 0 bad! Nice to see racing in a different country, useful tips for newcomers and fellow windsurfers having a great time!

Big ups BP bringing home the gold, you did well to lock it down in that wind with the nose popping up the way it was.... Awesome video by the way 💨🌊🤙

Awesome and very entertaining. Congratulations on nailing the 1st place.

Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Ben

One of your best videos yet, loved it.

Great video, Ben. Booth the talkey bit as well as the action. And congrats on the win 👍 🤙

Great episode! Nice mix of on and off water action.

Twist lock pully - or just buy a Gaastra race/freerace sail and have a setup ready to go for adjustable outhaul from the box right away. ;)

Champion of Portugal !!! That's what the history book will rea...

Awesome! Keep them coming… weirdly interested in going fast because of you 🙄

One of your best video's Ben, thanks!

Enjoined every minute 🤙

Congrats Ben, loved watching that 👌🏼

I did make it to the end!!! Sweet racing! Must come to sagres Some time soon 🤙🏻

Great video. Good fun too. 🤙

Loved it!🤙🏽😁

Great stuff again, cheers

This is gold! Keep it up :)

Nice work Ben!

Good job, mate!

Really good video, good vibes 🍺

Great experience !

Nice video and tips.

Great volume of all your aspects in the competition. Glad that rope broke on the beach. Love to see, you have third world problems too.

one of your best! So funny.

Aight. That's it. Give me your email. I'm sending you hate mail for having new carbon booms in your garage unused haha :D

12:00 classic!! :D

10:34 : rigging like this for years now. Small tip. You allready noticed that second camber from above pops of easily. So, do that one not as first but as third. First second from below, than the topcam. Than that one cam that pops of easily and at last the bottom cam

Very cool!!

Great channel. It’s a shame that WS didn’t take off. I blame it on kids attention spans and general laziness. It takes a few days (a week) to learn well enough that you can go out and return to the spot you started from. From there you are determined to learn the advanced basics. Like beach and then water starts . Getting in a harness.

great video :D

You have absolutely smashed it with this episode! Nice insights, funky mood, great imagery. What else do we need? (Btw those two guys around the last part seemed to be a tiny bit stoned) ¦]

Excellent

First i didn’t want to watch 39mins but you got me! Watched all of it! Awesome Video keep it up! Aren’t you going to commentate the iqworlds??

H@tem@il from Germany: we love you 😉

like your rigging techniques

Hell yeah 😎

You look more sportive than 3 years before ;-)

Ben one of the best videos you have done. Great insights, useful and funny. I am still smilling. Two questions, what slalom watch are you using and what app do you use to know your speed and finally what's the name of that great invention for the boom?

Hey ben do more idiots guide to slalom i really enjoy them

Loved it. Mrs is watching love island and wondering why I’m laughing my tits off.

Oh and where can I buy that Lisa outhaul pulley? I totally need that!

😂 Telatuby 😂

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Need to look at your OFO width to manage the depth of the fin.

Hello guys! Mind if I ask this? Do Simmer slaloms have only 2 plugs per a footstrap end? Then what is the widest setting for a big foor in warm booties? What is the biggest possible distance between the plugs' centers?

Update on Brendan Lorho? When will you be competing in slalom again?

Nice video! Good action! And congratulations! But, not going to Silvaplana this year?

Was Good till the end,, thank you Ben and Vilma.

What size fin do you drive on the 6.3 and 96ltr? Great comp!

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Anyway I sail exclusively with Ezzy sails (and masts) from some years ago (5 battens sails) and since I started with my Elite’s if I rig them with the printed measurements then I feel the sails gets overpowered easily because the very deep profile they have (the profiles extend up to the harness lines which in my case I place them centered and without gap between both extremes). At this point the sails don’t develop speed and upwind performance. Normally I need to rig from max downhaul settings and 2cm more if the winds picks up. Just add that I sail normally in choppy water and gusty conditions. Any advice for me?

I can't believe you didn't even TRY OUT 8.6 sail and just "assumed" that it wouldn't be needed. ESPECIALLY since you had only just commented on the state of the downhaul rope and it snapped so soon after! Things WILL go wrong and ALWAYS at the MOST inconvenient moment!!!

Hey Ben! 'Idiots guide to raceboarding'??!
