Let's try some Formula Windsurfing in Greece. In this Vlog I will explore if it's still fun or if the discipline deserves to be forgotten.

Nice to see you touching on this. I recently got into windsurfing 4 years ago and many people I sail with use formula boards and 10.0 sails. I too have a 10.0 sail that I pair on my falcon light wind board. I have little experience sailing smaller boards, but the thrill I get on my setup is far greater than the feeling in a foil. I personally don’t love the feeling when foiling compared to the fin.

Nice video!! Formula is a really nice discipline and it is sad to be forgotten due to cost and marketing reasons. The spot you have visited looks sick! Greece is a global windsurfing paradise due to its geomorphology. There are many more to explore, looking forward for your journey!

This is cool, I still very regularly sail my Formula gear with a 12.5m! I love the feeling of massive power in the big rig

That formula board and an 11 or 12 meter sail is what i ride all summer every summer.

what a beautiful spot in Greece. That place looks really cool. All disciplines of windsurfing have an element of fun to them. Formula gets you on the water in a really light breeze and I always enjoyed the sensation of planing in marginal conditions. Feeling the sail, board and fin and just trying to keep it all in harmony achieving speeds way in excess of the actual wind speed.

Formula next to a foil, 2 of my biggest loves! Nice vid, curious about all the shots in Greece!
