Thanks a lot for these tuning videos and all the professional explanations of your windsurfing videos. I am a hobby windsurfer and I appreciate it a lot that you as a PWA windsurfer gives us all these interesting and informative insider information. This helps me so much to improve and clarify my knowledge! I wish you all the best for your competitions and please continue with your interesting insider VLOG.
Heya Nico, have been following you for a while now and just want to say keep it up, I really enjoy your video’s! I shared this video and the board video on the dutch forum, cuz I think it could help a lot of people and you explain really clearly and go a bit deeper than most! What I’d really like to see still is a video about your trim for foiling! Mastfoot/footstraps, foil rake/stab rake, sailtrim/harnesslines etc.
Hi Pico keep up the good instructional movies. On the sailing ones I think a drone will enhance your sailing videos a lot of good. Anyway just keep it up. Windsurfing needs to come back to its former glory also ask in every video to give you a like. This will help the channel out big style
Hi Nico, really like your videos. One question: you showed several possibilities for triming and getting faster. Mastposition, footstrap position, boom etc. Do you have a specific sequence when you start optimizing your settings? In other words: do some settings have more impact than others? Thanks for your support? JW
Very interesting was the point that less downhaul more pressure on the board. May I add two things? For going upwind, you need some more outhaul tension (But the video was about going fast, so probably just downwind). Boomheight: With a higher boom you have more pressure on your back foot, a lower boom produces more pressure on your front foot. So you can adjust your boomheight by watching the pressure balance of your feet.
You haveing early planning difficulties. Board stoping while trying to get in to the straps ? Lift that boom high so you can only get in the harnes ( hip high harness hook ) on your toes.
Hey Nico! Would batten tension be a subject in a future video ? Or batten tuning just means maximum tension on the screws ? Loved the detailed vid!! 🔥🔥
Hi Nico! I have a v8 with two mini cams. I never know well how much outhoul should I gave to the sail. Usually I gave 3 cm approx. What is your recommendation? What happen if I gave too much over 3 cm, and what will happen if nothing, just click on the boom without any extension?
Hi Nico, when you are trying to put the harness lines in the right position, do you stand the sail on the beach by itself and hold the middle of the harness line or do you plug it into the board before doing that?
Hey Nico, I die not find any advice in the Internet: While I‘ve seen many sailers (especially slalom sailers) going out hard overpowered I tried myself too but failed 😄 What is the secret to go out such overpowered? Can u do a tutorial for that?
Ciao Nico, thanks for you videos. Would It be possibile to have a video with all the differnces between the boards? I still dont get the true difference between slalom and free ride, ecspecially with the same volums
Hey Nico! Nice videos. One thing I noticed is that on your harness lines you have the adjustment stopper set on your front hand. Should this not be set on your backhand for both sides? Just curious if it is a personal preference or there is any logic behind it? P.S. I used to compete in the olympic RS:X class :) Looking forward to that fins video. Cheers
Hi Yoan... actually that's completely random but I noticed that before. On the water it never bothered me. With some booms I have it the other way around.
You made little to no mistakes in your tips, great! A lot of these things apply to wave sails as well. Just remember that overtightening your clew will 'increase control' but also make your sail more rigid thus resulting in a more volatile sail that's less elastic; giving you too múch control. For most wave sails in light wind conditions: very loose clew, very loose downhaul (tight leech), higher boom, baseplate forward (optionally: tighten battens) High wind: Tight clew, lower boom, medium to medium-high downhaul (looser leech), baseplate more backwards. Overpowered: Low boom, Medium clew, Very tight downhaul (very loose leech), baseplate backwards a lot. Optionally: untighten battens Make sure when reducing boom height you also balance out your clew again, since everything changes together. Question to Nico: would having less downhaul in slalom sails give you earlier planing and faster acceleration as well?
Thank you Arjuna! Actually less downhaul gives you a slower acceleration. When the gust hits you the sail has too much power, doesn't open and doesn't translate the incoming wind into drive as it would with more downhaul.
@@Nico_GER7 Thanks you're right, so little to no gusty conditions would benefit from less downhaul for a more efficient sail profile? (In slalom sails) The reason I'm asking is because I always hear people talking about the benefits of more downhaul in slalom. I understand there is a minimum amount of tension needed to get a proper sail profile but I never hear people talk about when to use the minimal settings, and how far can you push it without tension in the downhaul before the sail stops working like it's supposed to?
hmm Nico Du has nicht alle Fragen beantwortet :-( does not matter, I need to ask my question just the same ... you suggest harness lines at chest height on the boom I have always aimed for shoulder or even chin height what gives ?? and keep doin' what yur doin' !! :-) Herzlichen Dank aus Kanada
U need as much tension to avoid all wrinkles. The battens in the top need less tension, so that the sails can breathe in the gust. The battons under and above the boom need more anf the most tension to give the sail a big belly. But if u give too much, u damage the sail and the battons break earlier.
I have a question. Have you some tips te surf forward. Bc when I'm stay at the back of my board. then I keep going with my nose to the wind.. is it bc there is to much power back? Can you help?
I used to have the same problem, especially when putting my feet in the straps. First foot in and then the board stalled upwind. What I suggest you is to put your mast forward and go downwind, then you put your front foot in the strap trying to stay as stable as possible, you will notice you won't lose speed on the downwind course, then you can close the sail little by little and blast upwind. Oh and be careful to your leg shape, front leg almost straight, back one slightly bent
Hello Nico. For extra speed have you ever tried polishing your boards underneath with teflon boat polish ? I see a great difference. The boards actually slip out of your hands they are so smooth. I'd be interested to know if anybody does in fact polish the bottom of their boards anymore ? Cheers and thanks for your super videos.
I don't think that would be allowed in competitions. What you can do is sand the surface of the board with 1000 sandpaper so a thin layer of water stays on the board always.
@@Nico_GER7 I saw nothing in the rules when I was racing (Raceboards) and certainly not in slalom. Nobody will see it! BUT the difference was noticeable on raceboards. Very very slippery stuff - like a frying pan and it certainly works for speed boats saving fuel and going faster through the water. Try it on an old board you know well vs someone else with the same(ish) equipment. The only drawback is that its about 40Euros for 1/2 litre ...!!! maybe even more. Well done for all your videos. You are "one of a kind" giving off all this information but in the end it really does help me and many others. Thanks. PS: I'm sure that many things go unsaid at the level you are racing ..... its why some people are always ahead. Its life. Cheers and all the very best. I'm currently campaigning an exocet RSD2 in light winds. A great board - so under estimated! Nothing that you would like though...
It sounds like it would help. If I have some extra time I might try it or ask our shaper about it. thanks a lot for your comment. I try to be very transparent and not hide anything from you guys. :-) @@team3383
@@Nico_GER7 Don't forget to polish your fins. With the amount of pressure you're putting on them if you can gain a metre for every 50 metres sailed ..... Cheers.
dear Nico, you say for 6.4 it should be rig with an rim mast. but on the neilpryde website they say "for 6.4 with an rdm mast make sure to put enough batten tension to be sure the sdm camber have good contact with the rdm mast" as I bought myself a 6.4 Evo11, I am wondering if I should or not buy an rdm 430... thanks for the help
Hi Bob! Sorry for my late answer. buy an 430 RDM mast. The PWA guys and I were already using it with an RDM last year. Just put a little bit more battentension than usual.

NiCo PiCo Thank you so much for replying, I know you’re super busy so I appreciate it immensely. Yes I’ve tried them forward, back, closer together, further apart and even turned the screw plates sideways which Arnon Dagan advised me to do, however, nothing solves the problem. I spoke to Guy Cribb and he advised changing the downhaul drastically and seeing if it made the difference but when I let the downhaul off by a lot (1-2cm) it didn’t really help and it just made the sail slow and hard to use. Any other thoughts? I love my gear and don’t want to have to change brands. Cheers. :)

Thanks a lot Bob! With NeilPryde there is no spacer system. The Camber pressure adapts automatically.

Almost as much as tuning parameters like in a Formula 1 car... 😉 🏆🥇just much cheaper and enviromentfriendly! 👍🏼
haha yeah, true!
Could you tell us what your batten pressure is in comparison to speed or recreational sailers ?
It's pretty normal. Just enough tension to get the wrinkles out of the sail.
NiCo PiCo did experiment with your camber tension and what are the results with these sails and does your coe change or is it realy stable
if you don't have a NeilPryde you should definitely play with the camber pressure, but neilpryde camber pressure adapts automatically @@wdm33
