3 MISTAKES almost EVERY WINDSURFER makes

Thanks alot❤

funnily enough I somehow always end up too far upwind and struggle going downwind. Maybe because I am often overpowered, and afraid of catapulting :)

My father used to yell at me to tuck my ass in whenever I went too low 😭

Bring. 👏 Your. 👏 Ass. 👏Up. 👏😁

awesome video!

how do you balance?

And now you are at 46k .and 450k views on this video. Keep going

Just now seeing this for first time, though I’ve been windsurfing for years. But your comments about the rider’s stance, more straight-legged than “sitting” coupled with some local criticism of my technique, makes me want to try “straighter legs.” Here’s my question: how tall are you, and what length harness lines are you using? Is there a formula or rule of thumb to get close to proper harness line length, as compared to height, or arm length? I’m 6’0”, ~33”-34” arm sleeve length, and use 24” lines…which I’m told are way too short. Of course boom height also weighs in. I’m mostly doing Gorge swell-riding, or coastal small wave sailing. Maneuverability is key, as I’m often unhooked. But maybe I am sailing too close to my sail. Certainly at least one arm is fully outstretched during maneuvers.

Congratulations on over 45000 subscribers. I am a little late to the party.

Hey Nico do you do a video on resorts to goto? Possibly in the Caribean. Thks

First mistake, dont stand on your board onland 🤣🤣

42k people following now, super cool.
It's interesting, the less experienced sailors I see make the following mistakes that I've seen in over 2 decades of sailing. Super low booms with short harness lines. Those harness lines are always spread far away and never in the correct position. And over finned. Guys put on fins way to big to compensate for their lack of ability to get planing and then that same huge fin kills their gybing fun. Or it powers up so much they cannot control the board. Maybe we see different things :-) But a great video and of course very true too. Keep up the good work Nico.

Another things that some people do and i saw it today again, sail out so far that it looks like they might need their passport. And the guy today was sailing alone. I use to know a french guy who used to sail so far out that it was even difficult to see from land. And again, always did it alone.

프레임 씌우는 것 같은데 흠🤔

Thank you

Hey nico, did you know that when something in the past feels cringey, it means that youve gotten more mature and smarter.

as an amateur, I've already noticed one of the most important things is fixing the mistakes you don't realise you're making. someone looking at you to analyze goes a long way, even better if someone is filming so you can really see what you're doing. a video made me fix a really bad sailing position at the beginning.

10 K Subscribers? Long time ago

me making all of those mistakes.. :-D

Hi, are those suggestion also for Techno 293 class?

NOTE: While moving upwind to start is a good general rule, if the winds get too strong it is sometimes impossible to hold the boom in a downwind situation. If the winds are strong, try reaching back and forth and not working up OR downwind.

Everything is cool, But you have to get rid of the music Is annoying Thanks.

Tras 20 años con kites, strapless, voy empezar con windsurf, me parece apasionante 🤩… no se inglés, pero usaré el traductor de voz…gracias por compartir experiencia…🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Great Vids! Nice to see that you are talking about 10.000 subs. I see you are making good progress with 30k+ subs! Greets from the Netherlands

Turn off that annoying background music?
It spoils your tuition!

nice video! aber die musik nervt ziemlich .... zu laut... wenn ich musik hören will, gehe ich auf spotify :)

please translator or subtitle in Spanish🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Excelent video, but the music is terrible.

Was für eine Tampenlänge empfiehlst du? Bin 1.80 cm gross - für ein 5.8er Segel oder 5.4

good stuff! Thank you

the background music its annoying ,,,no music plz ,,,but the content is Great

Membership doesn't exist anyore :C I really wanted to support you... :)

I remember when I started my trainer told me point two and I just ignored it. However, with your butt too low you're also less steady on your board, so when a strong gust of wind comes you kinda get 'katapulted' off your board. When that happened I got really frustrated and since then I listen to my trainer.

Why that awful annoying background music??!!!

Thank you

You lost me with your infomercial.

Mein Gott, 2 Minuten langes Gequatsche für Werbung über den eigenen Channel, bevor es überhaupt ums Thema geht... das kommt echt nicht gut...

Hi Nico,
I see no membership in your channel..

Nice guy Nico, I really like your advices. Thanks a lot Nico !!

Intro way too long mate! Very nearly closed this before remembering i actually wanted to watch it...

Hi Nico..still in line with this tutorial, i would like suggest one on how to pump the sail, particularly with no wind and light wind..that´s very important for beginners...I still don´t like to ride my formula board when the wind and stream run in the same direction...In he same condition, i feel more confortable with my board wich has a daggerboard...Needless to say, that I still don´t know how to pump the formula board..For me, it works only u when u have speed..Thanks in advance..Bleiben Sie gesund.

The new wide boards have made me a much more sloppy sailer.

yeah🤙🏼
