It was a pleasure!🤣

Great that you joined us for the Race, even if it didn't go your way, see you in denmark soon :)

That is real Windsurfing. You couldn't win every day! Better to loose friendly. 🤙

Please explain more on WHY you crashed in the jibes. Swell? Pressure from other racers? Nerves? Aliens? Anyway, good video.

You need very urgent new stuff! (joke)

Hello. Can you just tell me where is this lake please? Many thanks. Fabian, Belgium.

Hi Kasper, what are your thoughts about the sail touching the boom? Some say this would stabilize the sail a bit. Also +1 for increasing the entry speed on the gybes. You are so fast on the straight lines, you should be coming flying out of the gybes. Keep up the amazing work! Cheers

To all the people mentioning the lines are too long. Kasper uses the Liberty harness, I need about 4 inches more length compared to a waist harness with that harness. On my big slalom board I tend to use my waist harness again as my 34 inch harness lines are too short for me on the Drake/Liberty, especially going downwind. It feels like I'm standing upright. I think Kasper and I are both pretty tall as well (190+?) so the boom at chin level is obviously pretty high. I have no clue how I used 22-24 inch lines just a few years ago...

If you are training for IFCA slalom you need to practise gybing around bouys. Doing tight figure 8 is no good, unless IFCA is figure 8.

All pretty good, maybe just a bit too much hanging back on a crucial part of the jibe and thus killing the speed. The last two jibes in this video are already better. Always nice to see (and feel) the big board flying.

Im not qualified to provide technique instruction. Your exit speed does look good from here.

I would go more down wind directly before your jibe. It keeps the radius smaller and you can carry more speed. however your jibes look really good

Harness lines should be around 30 to be efficient. It looks like you have to work hard to transform power from the sail to speed, this makes it also harder to concentrate in technique. Maybe you've put the boom too high to compensate for too long harness lines. It looks like gusty and very powered for 8.4 sail, the board is doing fine, maybe put the mastbase 5mm to the front. Before the jibe make sure you go at least 10 seconds downwind first for more speed and in the jibe you can push a bit on the boom to keep planing better when you loose speed in the jibe. Next time jibe around a bouy😊 Overall not bad at all but some fine tuning is possible I think. Best regards, Marco

Moin Kasper, your sailhand is often not far enough to the rear end when initiating the jibe. Did you enjoy Kellenhusen?

Maybe turn your front hip a little bit more to the water.

My humble opinion. I really think the lines are to long for this type of sailsize making you correct constantly and looking a bit unstable. You keep closing te sail and the gap to the board. I think this is causing you to lose speed. Gibes are good, maybe the official way to do it is different but you're planing out of the gibe and that's what counts to me.

The carve gybes look great and it looks a lovely spot. I think I sail with 24 inch harness lines on flat water (or at least as short as I can make them) but I still use a seat harness. I have tried making them longer as adjustable, but I think my arms are too short as it doesn't suit my sailing style at the moment. A few say longer is better, I think I need to practice.

Only amazed by your long harnasslines that seem long to me (as I typically go with 30” on slalom gear)

Moin Kaspar, enjoy the German baltic sea and have good time

I enjoyed watching this great video. 👍

And the previous outhaul system just wasnt monkey proof... lost 2 of them, probably didnt locked them very good, so Im happy with the oldschool system.

02:55 is called bent over row. Very cool video. Yes I am only arriving at middle age at 42 but one HAS to do strength training even before reaching your 40's. I like to do light weights too. No breaks between sets. Laird Hamilton had a workout where he'd do a single exercise for 5 minutes or until muscle failure and the straight to the next. It works really well. Good to see the squats and lunges. So many folks have weak hamstring and glutes, and that invariably leads to knee problems. I'm a staunch windsurfer but also an ultra runner. Running has helped my windsurfing tremendously. I mostly wave sail, I don't own slalom gear at all but strong legs does help. I'm lucky to stand all day at my desk. Keeping posting videos, hope to see you in Cape Town one day?

great video!👍

I think I'm in the no-cam camp :) Too much hassle.I wasted 2 years of suffering with it.With wrong mast! But maybe i will have to try again to advance a l itle bit.But good video!

You have your priorities straight.....more sail-trimming and surfing...and less grass-trimming 😂

Moin Kasper, tak for sharing 😉

Good tip on tightening the battens first, to ensure that they are all the way in the front of the batten pocket. I would recommend to use the removable outhaul pulley from Severne, instead of the Chinook ones. It is more compact, doesn't catch the lines on very loose outhaul settings, and it is smoother against the sail when rolled up.

Nice place look fun

jipiiiiii

Flot!

Carbon fin manufacturers love Kloster 😆

Where is this spot?

Super flat water, always nice to feel like you have made a major skill-improvement. Although you know deep inside you are actually just cheating :)

Where was this?

You did not say on what kind of fin you were. Your friend was on a weed fin and judging by the weeds in the water, you were as well? Congrats with the 1000 subs.

So what was alpha 500 here?

1000 Abonnenten!!!

Ive been windsurfing since 1982 and honestly some people put way to much thought in a sail catching wind.

Looks like a Loftsails colab

Cool,thought they would be more yellow ish

Nice spot !

That’s why I switched to sailing only my LT, simple and cheap 😂

Congrates on 1000 subscribers 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, keep up the good work. I have Naish RN high aspect foil sail and use on fin all the time, just need enough wind to get going, and then the wind can increase to the max and the sail can handle it no issue. High aspect sails have a short boom, so gybing is so easy, and top end is quite respectable. So I agree with your point, let's give our wives a chance to cool down by not having to buy a million bits of kit to store all over the house. Windsurfing is not about needing a spreadsheet to figure out what kit you need to take the the water. Water Speed Beer. Amen

No time to watch whole video. Anyway, excellent vibes!

I am glad to help you with my subscription

Very interesting!
