Patrik is a legend. Starting an own business and working his way all the way through all disciplines and gear is stunning. Enterpreneurship and passion at its best. hats off
the wealth of knowledge Patrick is willing to share you could have another 5 parts and I would watch them all - what a Legend!
He looks and talks like a mad scientist. We need more parts of this 😅
The more I listen to Patrick the more I find him to be the most interesting windsurfer/influencer of this decade. This tour of Brands at Defi Wind has been awesome Ben, amazing work! I know moving forward I will explore new brands for me (NP for wave sails and Patrick for boards/foil). Great job boyz!
I could listen to Patrik talking gear all day. Passion and knowledge coming together.
Wow this was amazing!!! This is all super valuable info you dont easily pick up on your own or by just sailing at your local spot. I could listen to this for hours. His openness and him being willing to share with the community is also very admirable. Usually, brands are a lot more secretive, especially the ones doing well. Makes the brand very sympathetic and relatable.
It would be great if you could bring him back for a 2hr foil special or Patrik focused podcast! pretty please?
Edit: Thanks alot for this video!
You've inadvertently produced the most interesting foil video I've seen lately. Thanks to both of you.
One day defi wind all our surfcenter clinic group was invited to Patrik presentation. It was a very good tutorial on foil fin boards and sails, I am getting a lot of information.
Thank God there's a part 2
There’s a Part 3 as well!! 😂
Loving this defi coverage Ben. I don’t even windsurf foil and I’m enjoying this video. Really interesting to hear about all the kit development in the industry.
Will never forget Patrick and Karin give me a lift to return to my car in the back of their pick-up truck in WA. Saved me some walking 😂. Great ambassador to the sport
Damn!! Been lusting after Patrik gear for some time now. Thanks for the in-depth overview, foiling gear has come a long way in the last few years. Hope to try some of this kit out someday!!
Such a cool approach to design, technical but not prescriptive with what he does - Thanks for doing these Ben!
Great video Ben! I have watched it two times already! Can’t wait for my Aeon foil to show up.
I'm finding all of these interesting even though I have no interest in foiling. Patrik has done well. Looking forward to part 2 on the boards and sails today!
I am not into foiling but saw the interview was with Patric, I had to watch. I met him at the walvisbay speed challenge in 2005. He is a very interesting fellow with tons of knowledge and he has now peaked my intrest in foiling.
Not in to foiling but the passion behind the product and the design is captivating. I think I will end up with Patrick gear in my quiver sometime.
Very passionate talker. I enjoyed and learned a lot even though i am not in windsurfing foil. I like my fins on my windsurf. I think setting up a foil is very complicated and it is off putting. I started wingfoil for low winds which is less complicated and cheaper.
Awesome that they have QR codes. There is a lot of info that one needs to have about his gear.
Great Foil talk 🎉
I was lucky enough to do some side by side foiling on my IQ Foil race gear while Patrik was testing the smaller Aeon foil wings last year. He was on something like a 550 and was absolutely screaming along while almost matching my upwind angles on the 900 IQ wing. If I wasn’t already racing IQ gear I’d definitely be looking at getting the Aeon race foil.
He's so good, he isn't even afraid to share his knowledge
Loving this! More nerdy stuff please.
I haven't used Foils yet but that was a good description of the same and how it compares to the primary Windsurfing designs, even though I feel that they wouldn't be suitable for the variety of wave jumps which can be performed on a wave-board.
This man is genius ! Thanks Ben , like me I think that you didn't understand everything in his science class😂, anyway it doesn't matter, his passion is contagious, and that’s the most important thing for the progress of this sport .
awesome, love it, what a passion for our sport
Patrik the best, a lot of knowledge
I don’t foil, probably never will, but this was fascinating. One question I still have about masts, though, is whether they have a role in forward drive. With a fin the lift is turned into forward drive, and presumably however much of the mast is in the water also produces drive. But perhaps that depends on yaw, and we know how baffling that can be 😉
Nearly 30 minutes talking about foiling. Fantastic
Luckily for us mortals, Patrik offer the slight less complex AIO foil system too...!
Patrik...Niki Lauda of Windsurfing/foiling
Which one for tomorow ? So many choices
In kitefoiling we use 570cm² hydrofoil and 23m² kite...😅
I'm still here 😃😃😃😃
Windsurf getting harder, good all days from early 80’s
It's easier than it's ever been. You just have the choice to use gear with 100 times more performance if you want
I don't understand the fact that settings complicate foiling. Foiling is binary : you feel too 'up' or you feel too 'down'. So you find a setting to balance this fact. Once you have found the right balance you never touch your settings again.
For freeride foiling it's more simple, for race foiling more complicated because people are trying to get as much speed while staying in control in different conditions. There are many tradeoffs as Patrick mentioned and riders have different mass, plus different board and sail brands

Ben, Im just wondering Why you sail with simmer. Out of all the brands what makes simmer special to you?
Simmer Style has Style.. clues in the name! I’m obviously very stylish so it’s a good fit! 😁😁 But I’ve got to say the Simmer Gear is Epic.. Boards as well as sails! So of the best gear I’ve tried.. plus they are a good bunch of guys 💪🏻💪🏻
This is pure foil science.....sounds interesting, but you need experience on the water to actually understand what is discussed here... aoen-foils definitely worth trying...the pricing would have been interesting though
when will be video about trailer?
after the brand videos.. maybe end of the week
@@WindsurfingTVmaybe just a trailer trailer for now?
Oh, you are early today and i am too late. But anyway: Moin Ben
fluid mechanics overwhelmed by marketing....
