I love this, I can relate to all of these individual experiences from the build up to the on water. You never know what sort of session you’re in for. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” Charles Dickens had it right
Amazing work. It tells a story with all the highs and lows. I loved the way you brought everyone's footage together to give different experiences of the trip. One of the best downwind videos I've seen. Thanks, I really enjoyed it!
One of the best foil clips. Maybe even better than Oskars' ... sorry Oskar. The insight is great and as it's been mentioned earlier, lot's n lot's of info for us learner frothers. Respect. I can't believe you landed in my backyard AND I didn't see it.
Great video, captures all the buildup and highs and lows. Great editing. Shows what is physically required to do one of these missions. Keep ‘em coming
Awesome! really enjoyed that, the adventure aspect of downwinding is so awesome, you never know what you're going to get and you just have to deal with it. Love it!
Amazing stuff, well done guys. Top marks to Josh for doing the most important thing - not panicking. You were totally rational in the face of adversity, and you got the job done, kudos.
I believe you mentioned it in the video... but it is long for me to try to go back and find it. What foil were you using? One suggestion, I always appreciate when the TH-cam description includes gear information.
Hi Josh , Infinit Nutrition Australia can make you a custom blend drink that will solve your cramps and provide you with enough nutrition for long distance workouts. I use Iinfinite Nutrition custom blend for long distance events (Triathlon) with no GI problems and no cramps. I would consider Downwinding over 3 hours long as an endurance Sport . Good Luck with your Nutriton and Training.
@@oceanpixels9408 Certainly, you can have all your nutrition in your camel pack. I had a 15 hour event last year using a blended mix from Infinit with no Cramps or GI issues. I have no affiliation with Infinit, but I use to cramp regularly. You fellas also need to evaluate what strength and conditioning you are doing so that your bodies can handle more stress . You are elevating this sport to a whole new level. 🙏💪
The science behind craps is not well understood, despite all the product marketing suggesting they have the answer. Dehydration and electrolyte loss are commonly quoted reasons but even that is way too simplistic. Conditioning seems to be the most effective way at avoiding them... Unfortunately! Or pickle juice has been shown to relieve them after they start for some people, but you might not want to go there! There's more neurology in cramping than people realise. It's not just physiology. For example, causing yourself another pain (like biting your tongue!) to distract your brain has been shown to help!

Thanks brother
Glad you didn't go in at Guatemala .... 🙂 Great video, endurance stuff is quite often a battle of mind. Pleased to see you get to the end.
That was epic! Congratulations.
Those times when you feel closest to death and survive is when I feel most alive
Nice work team, thanks for sharing knowledge. 🍀🌊🤙
Brilliant guys well done 🤙 great motivation for my downwind journey 💪🏼😀
Great video, well done!
Best dw video at the moment 🦵🦵
Epic vid. I was feeling your pain and subdued panic 😅😅
Ku does not panic often. maybe never ? the distance we are out to sea is seriously worrying though
Legend 🎉
Why the harmonics in james foil
good shit man
Excellent! What are the time, min, max and average speed of your downwind foil?
I believe you mentioned it in the video... but it is long for me to try to go back and find it. What foil were you using?

Well done Josh. Maybe get some cactus juice shots for your cramp.

Interesting. So you believe cramps can be stopped or simply delayed. I got some serious cramps right at the end and it was not fun.

@@solentfoiler5969 thanks so much for this info
Put a little salt in our water it will keep you from cramping up
That didn't look fun at all. But, I do like how Perth goes by only one name, like Madonna.
