As funny as this is, it raises the question of how the f decathlon thought that it's good enuf to sell, and what else of their stuff is also rubbish?

I'm the only one that finds weird a sailor of his level doesn't get sponsor.?

30 AMAZING!!!

wing foil is clearly better. kite foil is also good I guess but control may be difficult.

We need #MakeWindsurfingGreatAgain in the US. Took me way too long to discover this amazing sport. Just now getting into it at 24

I was just wanting to know whether these types of footages are filmed with a drone or a person on a boat flying at 65km/h?

As a older (72) winger without success for 14 months, I’m converting two windsurfers to wing foil boards. I’m using a pre 2000 8’6” FJ and larger 9’ Fanatic. On flat water only. Figuring the plane faster than traditional chimed DW boards. We’ll see

Werner Gnigler used to design F2 boards! Loved his Ride 277.

Nico, when you are speaking German and immediately switch to "English," you have the heaviest German accent. When you start in English, it actually sounds a bit more natural to a native English speaker. As for the topic, I tend to get the high end version when possible; carbon Techno, LTD EX Mistral, BCS biax carbon Fanatic Gecko, etc. I love the lighter feel and better performance. The only time I go the low end is for my beginner boards; as my kids are abusing them!

Danke für das klarstellende Video mit den Eindrücken von nicht-Profis. Kleiner Erfahrungsbericht aus der Praxis: Ich hatte am Anfang der Saison Preis und Verfügbarkeit eines Magic-Ride in der Bauweise ES bei einem namenhaften deutschen Shop per Mail angefragt. Erhalten habe ich folgende Antwort: "der Magic Ride LXT 129 xxx kostet xxx.Die schwere Variante ist natürlich günstiger würde ich aber eher abraten vom surftechnischen Sachverstand." Abraten vom surftechnischen Sachverstand...??? Keine weitere Erklärung. Fazit: Völlige Irritation und Verunsicherung auf meiner Seite; Endergebnis: Habe weder das Board noch bei dem Shop gekauft. Stattdessen fragte ich mich warum einfache Bauweisen überhaupt angeboten werden, wenn Fachhändler offenkundig davon abraten Also: vielen Dank für das erhellende Video einschließlich der Eindrücke von nicht professionellen unabhängigen Anwendern.👍 Würde ich mir in Zukunft öfter wünschen !!!

A bigger disaster would be if the whole leg was torn off, the knee was broken, the neck was broken and you were paralyzed for the rest of your life. Compared to the above, you got off very lightly. Nice films, thanks.

Hilarious that the price difference between both constructions, I think you mentioned 600 Euros, is much more than I have invested in my favourite kit, including board, mast, sail, boom, fin, and even wetsuit included!

Maybe review the Duotone iRig inflatable sail as well. It has a lot more potential and innovations like these are exactly what the sport needs to attract more beginner windsurfers !

This blind-testing using avarage riders is just excacty what I need, this is a very informative video

That's so funny you must of had everybody on the beach pissing them selves laughing 😂😂

nasty injury, get well soon!

Sorry that you couldn’t join at me at the IFCA WORLDS in Hvide Sande this week. Hope the healing goes smoothly and quickly. In five years Turkey is gonna be the dominant windsurf country at events. They had so many young sailors at IFCA, super impressive

Exactly at Alacati I've injured my foot by cutting my toes with the windsurf fin. I know it sounds weird but I've fallen towards the back of my board when trying to waterstart and then the board somehow lifted it's tail and exposed the back of the fin which is really sharp and yeah... blood all over and then feeling down. Fortunately they have a great surgery clinic nearby and they sew me nicely. I've recovered in half a year but at that time at Alacati, just the fact that it happened in my 2nd day there and all the rest of my stay I had to sit on a chair and watch everybody speeding around, it was super frustrating. Take some homeopathic Arnica CH7 / CH9 and maybe it'll help speed up the process. Good luck healing fast!

Bad Luck. Really. 10 stiches is à serious cut Back on water soon

Oh my god your foot, horror story

Hey nico i left alacati right before the day you came😢 i wish i could have met you So sorry for the injury i hope you get well soon. İ hope i could see you next year if you come. 🤙🏼

Niemals Türkei-Urlaub.

Hast du echt das Paddel abgebrochen 😂Maschiiiiiine! Carbon sticks sind nicht für kraftpakete wie Dich gedacht. Gute Besserung!

Hey, where can I find information about this Dutch event? Have a good recovery

You’re like a rockstar. You’re lucky you’re not doing a more popular sport, otherwise you couldn’t walk the streets without paparazzi coming after you 😂. All jokes apart, you’re a great ambassadors for the sport. And we really really need that.

That’s a real stupid injury for a high level athlete. Get well soon

"Ehhh waren wir das?" 😭😭😭

Seems to be a very nice spot with flat / flattish water! What's the best season to go?

As an owner of a shop, you should buy an inflatable roof rack, which no one is thinking he needs one.😅😂

Get better quickly and good luck with the up and coming foil world cup event!

Shoutout to the sailor using your GER7 for showing you're always faster and make effortless gybes with pro gear. 😀 No really, you're a legend for bringing across such positive spirit despite the unfortunate injury, Nico. I wish you a quick recovery allowing for some Sylt comp prep!

This is personally why I do not stand up paddle. It is simply too dangerous. The high speed, the extreme weather you do it in, the insane impacts when you hit the water falling in from 3cm above water level... The risk is just not worth it even for the thrill of going 5kmh with way too much effort

Fast recovery Nico - best wishes from Norway

These kind of mishaps always happen to me on windsurf holidays - good stories to tell at the end 😂😂😂

Ouch! Heal well.....can't wait to watch you on Sylt!

So cutting your foot is a “disaster”…….hyperbole reigns

Yes 2mm Split Toe Super Freak booties!!! Wear it when you need to protect your feet from rocks, coral or UV. Also I think you can tuck them into your lower mast sleeve to ride bare in the straps. Or use a "mushroom anchor" (which is safe to step on) and rope to an empty milk jug with a clip for the boots - leave it out on the water the whole vacation... Protect feet when not on the windsurf board at all costs!!!

Stupid.. but where do you sign up for stuff like this? is there a organizer?

Good luck for Sylt!💪

That will buff out Nico lol speedy recovery young fella

Swift recovery my friend!

Is that the location where Lena Erdil has a windsurf club?

I've always sailed with at least the 2mm ONeil super freak split toe for easier shallow rocky water entry and exit and to protect the skin in the big toe knuckle and prevent sunburn but about zero chance I would have been wearing them for bozo sup session. 😢

I busted my windshield the exact same way 30 years ago. Welcome to the club.

Good to know! Damn…

oh noo! that is super unlucky. I hope for a fast recovery 🙏

Get well soon nico! The spot looks amazing 👏 and the action shots are wonderful!

Hi, Nico! My name is Kiko, don't worry about your injury. I broke my toe while I was getting into the straps 😂😢

Nico I'm so sorry for your injury... come stronger sooner as possible

2:00 Yup, I've done that too, in my Seat Ibiza with slalom gear!
