Mini Mal Windsurfing Board and Windsurfer LT - Patrice Belbeoch/ Exocet Boards 

Best video, best explanations. Had the Windstyler. Bought the Windsup in 10, now the LT. ❤thx for bringing windsurfing back to life!

Windsurfer LT has been fantastic for the sport!

I tried a Windsurfer LT in Bonaire this spring (Jibe City), it was a beautiful ride. The beach/board boys had very positive comments when I pulled it out saying things like it was a comfortable, laid back cruiser, ie, they don’t want to always feel like they’re driving a jittery sports car, it’s also nice to fly down a highway in a big, comfy sedan.

This long wave board is genius 👏 and I think it will be just pure fun to sail, maybe even more fun than short boards in strong wind

Patrice Belbeoch seems brilliant. Love it

Such creative ideas, it makes you re-think what you want to do on a board. Fascinating stuff!

Merci Patrice de ramener la Windsurfer, cette planche nous permettait à l'époque d'aller sur l'eau qu'importe la force du vent, enfin le plaisir de naviguer sans se questionner, bravo. I'm giving a chance to practice your french Ben! Cheers.

Really great to see interesting new ideas for longer boards.

I had the Kona Mini-Tanker, which was a singal fin version of this. It was really fun in light wind and small waves and when I sold it I regretted it immediately. The original was heavier and a little narrower, but it was still fun in the right conditions.

I've got windsup 11 8 for sailing at my local beach where its normally offshore wind with gusty shifty wind until you're 300m off the beach and with 7.5m its great fun. I've sailed the old Kona 10 5 in gusty onshore and great to easily get out the back and turns well

I agree about the fun to ride big old style boards in breeze but I think recent sails are much better.

Long wave board looks cool

That breeze seems fantastic for guys who live by the ocean for when the wind is off. Unfortunately not me🙈

Kona offered a selection of different windsurf longboards about 15 years ago. I then had this exact mini-mal shape labeled as Kona Boards. A lot of fun in absolute lightwinds with small sails! Cool to see someone is still trying to offer these kind of „experimental“ niche boards. Unfortunately, mine broke one day in half trying to go out in too big waves and being washed properly.

Awesome board 😍🤙

Enjoyed that! That wave board is super cool. Even in the best places for wind, one still gets poor wind days and that would double your water time I reckon.

I would love to have that board in my quiver!

Luckily I have the Kona 11'5 which got me back into windsurfing and then I graduated to the 9'5 which is my goto marginal board. Fab news that they have introduced the Breeze line as my 9'5 is really beat up now and I am looking for a replacement. Great thing is that they all go upwind in non planing conditions and will catch any wave or swell going, fast too and so they are great boards to hoon around on. I'm out in the same wind strength as the wingers, though I'm surfing the waves and they are surfing the swell. So glad they have now introduced the V to make things even more easy going.

Love this!

Are we going to see that light wind wave board at Cloudbreak this year? 😂

Exocet needs a dealer in Canada! 11'8 windsup is my most used board by far but had to import it. Curious on the breeze series and RSD2 raceboard (not sure if they still make it?) as well!

The longboard reminds me on the 2,80 longboard by f2 y’all remember promoted by brain the ire man Talma. Love so see it come back… this style never made it to be a standart but I like to c it’s still a thing

Not in the vid but Exocet has a great raceboard too 🤙😁

Would love to try one !

Would be curious on riding the Breeze series strapless as well. Love the 11'8 windsup in small waves, but always wanted a scaled down version for a little more control on steeper waves, but still ride longboard style stepping/trimming the board.

great idea. Kona has a similar design for a long long board...with a daggerboard.

I was about to start kite surfing a few years ago…

Mini Mal sailboards were around in Sydney in the early 1990’s.

145L wave board - wow!

Ben knows exocet invented the Kona right?

great video Ben. i started in79 in rio on a windsurfer. i want to import one but the dollar rates in brazil is really high. i have to sell a kidney to get one 😀

Moin Ben! 2 videos per day?! It must be Sunday?!

Heaps cool! So Patrice might go 40kts on the mini mal if he goes 35 on the windsup? 😮

Ben, like the trop board shape sam years ago... just longer

I didn't really appreciate it, when Ben made it seem like light wind and waves are rare "certain/specific conditions". Most ocean wave sailing is in light wind with mushy small waves. Very little is like Portugal when it's firing. So the Breeze is for most waveriders, most of the time.
