You are my legend in windsurfing since the 1990`s, i stopped surfing around 1998 but watching this hurts me that i stopped. i think that still no one, really no one can beat you on the water. Absolutely amazing !!!
Dear Robby - good to see you still ripping along in style, i remember you, Pete Cabrinha, Fred Haywood & Jenna De Rosnay when i first got into windsurfing 40 years back here in the UK. Hope life is treating you well and you're keeping safe. Loving your videos....regards Peter
Thanks a lot for this awesome video Robby, especially for naming the equipment you are using so we can see the setup. Btw, most of us mere mortals would consider 22 knots on a wing/foil FAST! : )
From my south Caspian sea times around 1975 .. To us racing in a regatta at Chrissy Fields SF, CA. 80s ish .... to now: You have been an inspiration... and a remote lifelong friend.. .. Cheers 🍻
When Robby is on anything that runs on the water .... everything seems very easy and beautiful to see ... Naish has always been and always will remain a great myth.
Nice watching u again! Just remembered when you were waterskiing in the waves behind a Helicopter during Worldchampionship in France when there was no Wind... Best Thing I Ever saw!!
I love Garmin smart watches! They have great gps, heart rate, can be used in water, and can be used to track so many different activities!!!! Once I started to use mine, I was hooked!!!!
We're not worthy! We're not worthy! I've got my credit card ready, ready for the number, expiration date and 3 digit code? I have COMPLETE FOMO! Thank you for producing this. Thailand is perfect for this!
Due to some personal issues , I fell away from windsurfing for quite a few years. This advancement in technology is just staggering. This is the first I have ever seen this. Amazing. I can't wait to get out there and try this. And I can carry it all in a small car...btw, pulled out the VCR to watch RIP - still just as great as ever. Robby Naish hasn't changed a bit in 30 years as far as I can tell.
Hey Robby, thabk you for sharing this nice trip. Take home message for you: be more open to and confident with recent technology. In doubt, ask your daughter to setup everything 😁 My daughter is 2, hope she'll dp some kite or wing surfing later, as well 😋
really great just to see some simple jibes at speed, because I'm goofy & always wondered if my style of 'toe-down' for a while, then switch feet was weird, but now after watching you do it i feel normal!
Hi Roby, i'm your fans from Indonesia. I always dreamed can surf like you. But in my beach does not have wave and wind like that. Love to see your video... 🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing, cool riding! BTW - GoPro got its own and very precise GPS + tools to get that data and overlay it (speed) over exact time in video. Have fun!
Seems like it, the advantage is u can move a lot more and control ur balance on the foil, but with a normal surffoil its pretty slow and more relaxed then windfoiling for example, just try it its definitly fun and different!
I would ditch the touch screen smart watch. It tends to be a bit too fiddly in water. Go for something like a Garmin Fenix or comparable. Sturdy as hell too! I’ve had a Fenix 3 for the last 5 or 6 years and it’s been through all sorts of hell (from the backwaters of Gallipoli to the Netherlands during Storm Francis)....Not a scratch.
I'll answer from my point of view (20yrs of kitesurfing, some windsurfing)- if you have tons of wind you do not need a foil, but the foil helps you get out in light wind, I would say its easier to learn than windsurfing because the gear is light & is trying to pull you up out of the water (windsurfing gear is by default heavy and pulling down toward the water when you are off balance)- very minimum is 10mph of wind, but for us mortals closer to 15mph is better
Awesome demo. I was wondering what the best windsurfer did when needing new challenges. A friend went to kite foils. Questions, can you hook in a harness? Looks like a harness lines. How do you keep the sail from blowing away in a crash? Hold on no matter what.
The wing is held onto your wrist with a coiled leash. One on an ankle also. As soon as you let go the wing will lose all power and stay attached to your wrist leash, you won't feel any power.
That’s much faster than driving! Don’t even get caught at the traffic light in Paia. I guess if you live in Haiku and work at the sewage treatment plant, this is a fun way to commute to work!
I found the Apple Watch to be pretty crap for water sports, I ditched mine and got a Garmin Fenix - awesome sports watch for everything. Inspiring video as always, thanks mate

Same story for me bra came back to canada.i dont know what i was thinking 1995

Such a humble person! You are my example for live Robby. GOAT
Great to see you out there still making it happen Robbie. Ripped and rippin.

Impressive. And seeing you still killing it is really cool!

He just elegant.
Yes👍
Apart from the Naish Alliance - which was just a dog.
Nice watching u again! Just remembered when you were waterskiing in the waves behind a Helicopter during Worldchampionship in France when there was no Wind... Best Thing I Ever saw!!
Very cool shots. You are really a legend, I bow to you. Thank you for showing, Mahalo.
Greetings from Kiel, Germany
Jeez, I remember standing next to you in the Netherlands some 30 something years ago - Pleased you are still on the water. I was in awe then still am.
I just told my wife : this dude already was on the O'Neill school agenda when I was 12. That was 34 years ago.....
that man is a superhuman! also a personal hero thxx robby!!🙌🤞✌
I love Garmin smart watches! They have great gps, heart rate, can be used in water, and can be used to track so many different activities!!!! Once I started to use mine, I was hooked!!!!
Wow great fun to watch. You showed Kai how its done in his early days now he could show you how to use all the fancy electronics....
Phenomenal video. I really like the end ! Very cool.
That was great. I really enjoyed watching you jump.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed that.
I love the shot at the very end, awesome view!!! Also, epic surfing
Dear mr. Robby, you make it look so easy when you handle your smartwatch, while staying in plane. I wish i had 10% of your skill.
Faszinating technology demonstration - I am impressed.
Thanks for sharing helpful information. Can’t wait to get back in the water!
The King , the Chief, el Patron. Thank you
crazy its getting easi5 and less equipment! I dreamt of this possibility years ago. But Robbie did it. Brilliant @

Always nice to ride along with you, not ventured into foiling yet but it’s on bucket list
Right on and thanks for sharing, just added that to my bucket list…
Robby, I used to watch you rip on the TV at Polly's growing up. Super cool to see you on TH-cam now. Aloha from da Dugan Ohana.
Robby that's Wicked 🔥🔥🔥 good runs and jumps like in the good old windsurfing slalom days ;-)
Such a great video. Nice work.
Love the last bit showing how this sport one needs to use the body!
Robby da superman! The foil is so efficient he can hold the wing with little effort
Hey Robby, thabk you for sharing this nice trip. Take home message for you: be more open to and confident with recent technology. In doubt, ask your daughter to setup everything 😁
My daughter is 2, hope she'll dp some kite or wing surfing later, as well 😋
I would have been dead already reaching the wind line. 🤣
My first thought also :D!
really great just to see some simple jibes at speed, because I'm goofy & always wondered if my style of 'toe-down' for a while, then switch feet was weird, but now after watching you do it i feel normal!
I have seen a couple of wing videos some seem to have trouble getting any speed this one really showed what it is capable of
Its all about board ltrs and wing size.
Thanks for your hardy work
Awesome. Great Job! Aloha
Looks like you're skimming the globe!
Hi Robby. Sick vid. The camera angle on your second sail was unreal - especially the jumps.
I love this boy!
Brilliant .Great for old people like me with small board and sail.
Absolutely awesome coolest person I know 🙌😁
Amazing, bravo !
Dude loved what you did on sailboards and killer how you doing it on windsail - you got me hooked again. 110%
That 360 camera looks really neat !
Hi Robby, when would you choose to charge with a wing and when would you choose a windsurf foil? Aloha from Hamburg/Germany
Awesome. greetings from France.
This video inspired me to start foiling
I've got to say that is pretty awsome
Hi Roby, i'm your fans from Indonesia. I always dreamed can surf like you. But in my beach does not have wave and wind like that. Love to see your video... 🙏🙏
Living legend...
Great Shape to even paddle way out! Sweet Vi😃d!!
Supercool ! How will it take an experienced wind and Kitesurfer to get to a good level / having fun ? What is the lower wind limit ?
Such a fun way to keep fit !
You are master!
Best stuff is 1/2 way through. Like that camera location!
We love you Robby!
Looks plenty fast enough. Great shots of foot switching. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing, cool riding! BTW - GoPro got its own and very precise GPS + tools to get that data and overlay it (speed) over exact time in video. Have fun!
You can do so much with sails im going to be doing patents etc this give s me loads of ideas
What was the ~ wind speed for your down wind run?
Super Cool to watch, bravo
The 3D Max camera viewpoint is incredible. Just watching our footwork on transitions and jumps. Sick! How is the camera mounted?
epic thanks for inspiring!
Awesome!!
Larga vida al rey .....saludos desde lo que queda de Argentina
A Legend
Is there a difference between windsurf box that holds the fin and that holds fin with foil
Frickin legend still shreddin hard
That wing is powerful, it's fast... but maybe because of the Master??
Thanx from France, a 50 years old fan.
Grande Roby...estuve en maliko y en kanaha en 2019 con mis hijos Pedro y Juanma Viegas
Awesome!
Nice air! Havent seen that before.
Way to go rear view with speed and jump! This rocks
Hey Robby! Could you turn subtitles on? Mahalo!
Aloha, saw your last video with a Naish board hope you work together to make some nice videos
Instablaster
Which one of 360 camera you use?
This wind wing seems all over the place. I’ think I would prefer a conventional mast, sail and boom combo!
Seems like it, the advantage is u can move a lot more and control ur balance on the foil, but with a normal surffoil its pretty slow and more relaxed then windfoiling for example, just try it its definitly fun and different!
Plus, it's easier to fit in a little car.
Yeah dude awesome
Talk about living the dream
Gnarly bro!
so cool!

I’ve had a Fenix 3 for the last 5 or 6 years and it’s been through all sorts of hell (from the backwaters of Gallipoli to the Netherlands during Storm Francis)....Not a scratch.
Looks like fun.
How hard is it to learn compared to windsurfing?
Do you need a foil or is that optional?
What is min wind speed?
Where can I get one?
I'll answer from my point of view (20yrs of kitesurfing, some windsurfing)- if you have tons of wind you do not need a foil, but the foil helps you get out in light wind, I would say its easier to learn than windsurfing because the gear is light & is trying to pull you up out of the water (windsurfing gear is by default heavy and pulling down toward the water when you are off balance)- very minimum is 10mph of wind, but for us mortals closer to 15mph is better
do the arms get tired, is there a harness you can use to attach to the board?
Awesome demo. I was wondering what the best windsurfer did when needing new challenges. A friend went to kite foils.
Questions, can you hook in a harness?
Looks like a harness lines.
How do you keep the sail from blowing away in a crash? Hold on no matter what.
The wing is held onto your wrist with a coiled leash. One on an ankle also. As soon as you let go the wing will lose all power and stay attached to your wrist leash, you won't feel any power.
Legend
Impressive!
What is the camera attached to towards the end of the video?
That’s much faster than driving! Don’t even get caught at the traffic light in Paia. I guess if you live in Haiku and work at the sewage treatment plant, this is a fun way to commute to work!
I remember in 93 dude a i sail straight downwind from secret spot to kanaha watta rush
Amazing
great!! next time a signature move..... a table top!!
Such a (legendary) kid ;-)
Thanks for the video. Very fast speeds. Cool. Did u sail back across again?
great to see body positioning and foot placement..weigh distribution
and it's fast!!
I found the Apple Watch to be pretty crap for water sports, I ditched mine and got a Garmin Fenix - awesome sports watch for everything.
Inspiring video as always, thanks mate
What size wing is that?
Robby da kine for ever!!
it's very very cool 👍
