I can't believe you've put so much info in just 5 minutes video! Well done, straight to the point, no bullshit. Subscribed to the newsletter.

This is what i really needed, because where i lend my windsurf gear the smallest sail is 6.3 there and since im 15 it can be hard to handle in harder winds

Your effort with the quality of the explanations it's so appreciated. Also they are so diverse and give us the overall picture. Thanks and keep on rocking!!

Another great video. Please keep them coming! You are a great ambassador for JP/NeilPryde and I hope they appreciate your efforts during these difficult times.

Thanks Nico for this video, the Freeride pdf guide, and all your other videos, really. I probably watched them all at this stage. You're doing a great job, really making windsurfing great again. Keep up what you're doing, your videos are an inspiration to hit the water as often as possible. Thanks a million!

PDF Guide is really well done and well worth the read! Thanks Nico!

Best channel of the best sport ever. Awesome job man. I've been windsurfing for 43 years and your channel is the best I've seen. Cheers.

Thank you so much! I have been waiting for such a video for a long time! Indoor exercise, book to download, navigation, what a good work!

Nico, Really enjoy your tutorials and perspective. I have learned a lot from you, and also love the international/global appeal of this wonderful sport.

Brilliant, your videos are great, I’m in lockdown at the moment in Granada but can’t wait to get to Tarifa for some play time. Keep me coming

Always excellent videos! Thanks and also for the PDF!

I’ve just knew your videos today, love them. Thanks! Also, I was considering having some Pilates classes focused on windsurf, you’re exercises will help me!👍

Thanks for th vid I was just about to go out in over powered gear and this vid helped me out thanks

Great video and great PDF Nico, thanks!

Great tutorial! You bring up some finer points I suspect could help me alot. Foiling overpowered tutorial would be awesome!

Yet again an awesome video nico thank you very much!! And also for the great pdf.

Nice video Nico!!!

Hilfreiches Video💪🏼 danke dir! Mach weiter so🤙🏼

I saw “fritz-kola” on your sweater and subscribed right away 😄

Great quality!

my only sail is 7.8 so i found useful advices in this video, thanks!

Really value info. Continue like this. Thanks

Ah!! Fin pressure!!. Thank you!!!! Well, I rarely touch my foot straps since it is too much work, but I do the followings when the wind is too strong. It is working for me. 1. Tighter outer hall. (I change my outer haul a lot according to the wind condition. This is the first thing I do when the wind condition changes) 2. Use smaller (shorter fin). For my 96 L board, I use 30 cm instead of 32 cm when the wind gets stronger (to 25 cm from 27 cm for my 86 L board) 3. Move my harness line to the front a bit so that I can open my sail more. I do not lengthen the harness line often though since.. well.. I just do not feel comfortable with longer harness line.

Great tips ! Thanks !

Very helpful tips thanks for sharing

Great video and advice. Please consider doing a video on your complete workout routine. Thank you

Danke für die geilen Tipps!

Moin Nico erstmsl hoffe ochvdas es euch gut geht. Das Tutorial ist sehr gut super das es weitere Videos kommen greez aus Münster hang loose

In Mexico (I'm not saying they are the majority but there are many) many windsurfers ignore the importance of body postures in windsurfing ... And they think that you have to be 100% straight all the time with any sail and any wind. This is where my country's windsurfing starts off badly.

Nice, new Video 👍 Very well explained and great tips!🤙 We hope to be back on the water soon 🌊!!! Many greets Marvin and Louis

hi Nico, thanks a lot for sharing with us so importat information. You are a winner, becose d´ont mind every body knows your secrets, d´ont need to keep them with you, because you will be always forward . Thanks again.

Thank you! I really appreciate this :)

Brilliant!!

Wow! Awesome tutorial, mate! I really enjoyed watching it. Will try some of your tips next time (after Lockdown) to check my technic. Kia Ora from New Zealand

Another great video! Thanks Nico/Team. I have strong upper body/core. Keep neglecting my legs.

Awesome video.....Well done

Brilliant!

Great video. I would have also loved to have explanations or tips as to how to control your jibe while overpowered as it is something that I have difficulties to handle, with the sail often teared off my hand. For this I think I need to have the body closer to the sail, but not sure as I get catapulted when I am doing this.

Hi Nico, Great Video! Regarding posture in strong winds, during last session I had a bad feeling of torsion in my torso. Trapeze lines were balanced. I notice I often have most of the sail power down on the back foot (fin foot) only. Front foot nearly takes any... I think it might come from there..

Thanks Nico great video and tips! I hope I can use they as soon as the corna virus leave us!

This videos are sow helpful thx nico

Thank you for advices

ability to see the gust coming is the key IMO

Thanks Nico! Keep the how to videos coming 👍 I personally find leaning my upper body out as much as possible on extended arms, and focas on heaps of pressure through the harness line helps with sailing overpowered (and like you say a solid stance, and don't let the wind under the outside rail lol) If a HUGE gust comes - point upwind is only way to survive 💨💨💣

Great tips. Thank you! I was also taught to round my shoulders (while bending at the hip) to get that extra one or two centimeters of extension down and away from the sail to gain additional leverage and control over the sail and to enable me to place more pressure down on the mast base to keep the board level when leaning my weight slightly forward toward the front of the board. What are your thought on rounding the shoulders (as you seem to be doing just a bit at 3:49)?

Just a note that my free pdf-guide was in spam folder in Gmail, so check you spam if you haven't received it. Thank you Nico for a fantastic guide!

its very good thanks

I aren't very good I have been windsurfing Over a year but only had about 1.5 weeks of training hours so I get over powered alot thanks for this

Excellent Nico really helpful hints. but I ´ve got one for u 2..Don´t make your exercises near sharps edges..like those in your garden blocks..In case u fall u may hit your head...and get hurt..;-)

Hi Nico. Great tutorials. Do you have any tips for jibing in choppy conditions? Usually occurs in hi winds/ owerpowered. When your board it's dancing under your feet in the middle of the turn. Thanks

Hi Nico. Very helpful video. What about how to handle chop? Was surfing the baltic sea yesterday and in one direction whenever I gained speed I found it impossible to not be jumping. Other direction was fine. How do you anticipate the chop? Bending knees?

Awesome video! Really helpful but do u think it’s the Same on techno 239

Sauber! Die Übungen mach ich gleich mal im Homeoffice

Nice video. Can you tell me if the trapeze makes a difference. I mean by that a race(sit) or a waist trapeze?

Good mr.👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for your great tutorial series!!

Thanks, useful as usual! And what about jibing in such conditions? Thanks again

Wirklich gut. Ich hab das Gefühl, da kommt was richtig großes raus, wenn ihr so weitermacht. Das sind alles Insights, an die man sonst auch als guter und erfahrener Surfer nicht rankommt. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag: Das Video ist beinahe schon zu vollgepackt mit Infos. Alleine zu den Kraftübungen könnte man wahrscheinlich ein komplettes eigenes Video machen. Ausserdem wäre es manchmal hilfreich, den jeweiligen Fachbegriff noch etwas ausführlicher zu erklären. Ich weiss zum Beispiel nicht, wie man den Finnendruck beeinflusst und noch weniger, wie man in gleichlässt. Ich fürchte, ich weiß überhaupt nicht, was damit gemeint ist. 😂 (Vielleicht ist das aber auch wieder so interessant, dass man dazu ein eigenes Video machen könnte). Da hilft mehr Erklärung, sowohl auf der Tonspur als auch im Video. Mit Slomo und eingezeichneten Winkeln oder Pfeilen. Und gerne mit mehreren Wiederholungen. Sonst springt man als Nutzer manuell die ganze Zeit zurück, um es sich nochmal ganz genau anzuschauen. Wenn das Video dann 7 oder 10 Minuten statt 5 dauert, isses auch nicht schlimm. Aber wahrscheinlich versucht ihr irgendwo die Balance zwischen Lifestyle und Lehrvideo zu finden. Sonst in jeder Beziehung mega. War vor Wochen noch skeptisch. Jetzt Fan. Seit heute abonniert. Keep em coming! 🤩

Thanks

You are flyinggggg

Your technique is impressive clean.🤙🏾 To your own impression: what are the areas you have to improve the most? 🤙🏾

Great video. Thanks. I was just wondering if you are interested in foil sailing at a high level, meaning America's Cup ? You are the typical excellent sailor these teams are looking for. Maybe not now, but in a few years time. Getting in contact for a trial sail now would help in a few years time. Cheers.

Great information! I'm just focusing on not crashing at the moment, lol

Is the position 4:35 supposed to work for close haulled and close reach? I do it rather easily when early planing in beam reach but can't imagine doing it while going upwind and being overpowered. Then both knees bent is best I can do. Obviously still working on reducing high speed spinouts.

I am not sure if you already have a video like this online, but I would be interested in your workout routine!

Just be careful using a powerdrill to screw on your footstraps. Nico most probably knows how to do it but if inexperienced one can very easily rip out the threadways inside the screwplugs. Always use a screwdriver with the screw stick out a few turns out of the strap, then slightly press it into the plug and turn it BACKWARDS until you feel the screw falling into the thread. Then tighten it carefully.

Thanks Nico Excellent!.... where is your local spot ?, Brasilien Schonberg?

I could've used this that one time I did an involuntary half loop.

Hi I'm 1.90 84 kg, I use to sail on freewave boards, but now Ive bought a 130 litres novenove freerace and 8.4 freeride no cam sail for light wind... I would like to ask u how long should be my harness lines and if would be better adjustable kind off.. I have 32 inch now I feel comfortable on light wind but no when I'm overpowered Thanx for your videos

Seat harness works better for over powered, just look at the recommended stance. For me at least If you disagree just use a waist harness with the extra straps around the legs like the Dakine convertible

Nico ich viele videos gesehen , i have seen many videos--- hope too put in in too practice , hangloose too all! Robby rules or the Actionman ;)

Thank`s

Any advice for heavy people? (100kg) The nose comes up too much if I put my front foot in the strap. Maybe the sail fixed at maximum forward position will take care of this....

Even though I followed the link and did as instructed, I couldn't download the PDF. How can I get it?

Hello. Which equipment did you use on the video ?

first ;) at least we can work on body stability....

More windsurf tips

Noice🤙🏼😜

I like windsurfing.

soooo geile typs 🍀🍀✌✌

yeah🤙🏼

Hello. Which equipment did you use on the video ? sail and board?

maybe a video on “seeing” the gusts coming? what do you look for/how to anticipate?

When sailing freestyle/wave gear it helps to keep sheeted in when overpowered!

La position assise offre probablement un contrôle accrue du grément mais elle ne permet pas une transmission directe de l'énergie que reçoit la voile. La position debout offre un moins bon contrôle mais la transmission de l'énergie et son utilisation est BEAUCOUP plus efficace car l'alignement des segments corporels favorise le passage de l'énergie que reçoit la voile sans être parasité par le désalignement des segments du corps. L'analyse biomécanique pourrait facilement démontrer qu'il y a un meilleur rendement dans une position alignée que assise, mais le problème reste la capacité à conserver cet alignement(gainage)qui sollicite des synergies musculaires inconnues dans le milieu du windsurf, sauf votre respect. D’ailleurs même pour un gabarit moyen, lorsqu'il est aligné, l'expérience tant à montrer que le grément ne tient pas la compression que lui impose le planchiste qui travaille en position debout : la position debout ne pose donc aucun problème, et il y a fort à parier que la syntonisation "mat-voile" ne soit pas bonne et qu'elle induit des actions motrices fausses. En position debout, le travail se fait au niveau de l'articulation de la cheville et le plat du pied : à priori ce n'est pas fatiguant si tant est que l'on soit à l'aise en gainage. Assis, le travail se fait au niveau des genoux : les cuisses sont très sollicités et la fatigue peu arriver très vite. Sportivement.

Look for the dark water caused by gusts 🙂

Good stuff - and thank you for some proper English, too, (Trotz Akzent, ist es eine Wohltat zuzuhören!)

hi, nice video’s but I I did not receive a pdf or link. Keep up the fun and learning sessions! Thanks

I wish vidéo how to learn harness for beginner

What about fin size?

can someone Tell me the Word he said in minute 2:57 /2:58 And Boy the was very nice Video

When i feel overpowered, it feels like i can't reach the footstraps anymore even when they are mounted in the most forward position... Any suggestions?

Is it me, or do cam sails sails have a wider band of control in overpowered conditions, vs a non cam sail?

If I go low when overpowered, quite often the harness lines will release involuntarily in chop. Any ideas what to do about that?

Das ist ja DAS Tutorial für den SürferZÜSZ (was heißt das eigentlich auf deutsch, ist ja türkisch oder?:)

Me in high Wind I prefere put my harness line further back otherwise I don’t succeed to keep my sail lock

Gg gais

Video begins at 3:00

For me it's usually the contrary.... I arrive at the spot and the wind drops.

0:41 ist kein Gleiten mehr :D Dafür müsstest du das Wasser ja noch berühren. Alter Vadder... Geiler Scheiss
