❤ Thank you again for these wonderful videos ❤ I have plateaued at beginner status for a few years now but thanks to you and these videos, I am learning and having the time of my life, enjoying higher winds and not getting catapulted. I have kicked up the dagger board and playing around, especially in higher winds and intuitively feeling things out but never really understood the direct cause and effect of what I was doing. But this video did it for me. Similarly, there are a handful of others videos you made that I really love ❤️ like one on foot pressure or your disco gybe. You have built my confidence and i am enjoying windsurfing. From New York, Long Island. Thank you so much. 😊
I started windsurfing 6 weeks ago on a Beach Tahe Board 185 l with a 5m2 sail (Nova). I chosse this sail for my 80 kg weight. I live close to the beach in the north of Britany in France. It is a nice place to sailing but with a lot of streams and sometimes very windy. I try to windsurf 1 h each day. In light winds I train footwork, jibes, tacks, helitacks and beachstart. But I have problems to get to planning and to control the board. In strong winds (over 20 knts) the board doesnt accelerate and even in lighter winds 15-20 knts I have the impression that the board is too heavy and can't follow the wind and I have to work hard to hold the wishbone. Should I put back the mastfood? Or perhaps lower the wishbone? (normally it is shoulderhigh) but in strong gusts (from 20-25 knts) I feel overpowered and I cannot stabilize the sail. Do you have some trainingadvices how to handle strong wind on a big board?
Good on you! Try this one…(but there are a few other in the channel you’ll find helpful) How to get from "OK" to "GREAT" with your windsurfing skills! #insta360 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1fT58xK6sRg.html
Hi Cookie, any chance you are still going to be in Vassiliki in early October? Is there anything open in general at that time? I would be interested in a clinic and also in buying some equipment from there.
Do you expect some more wind soon ? There was 7 days in a row zero wind , I came all away down from Holland with my campervan to enjoy vassiliki. Seems like a waste of my Holliday 😢
Hi Daveknops9704, which route did you take to get there? My starting point is very much different from Holland, but still interested in the last 1000km. Sorry to read about the wind :/
@@fonsvandenhove I took the route along the coast line from Italy through croatia, montenegro, albanie the journey was amazing. I took my time to get here . Didn't pay any toll either.
