Here in southern Okinawa,we regularly ride (wave-sup,kite surf and windsurf) typhoons during the season (June to mid October), I personally knows what a 50 knots looks like,and I have serious questions concerning the 50 knots claim,made in the video. As for the ability of standing up properly under extreme windy conditions,one of my riding mate, Stephane from the Kohama Jima Maverick Windsurfers Crew,is capable of SUP upwind under 30 knots wind. This is some serious athleticism,indeed.
I experienced this wind speed once or twice on the beach in a short kayak. It was almost impossible to raise the paddle, the wind would start capsizing me. When we got back on the shore, we couldn't let our kayaks on the ground, because they were taking off to the air :| For that reason I'm also not sure if that's the wind in the video. One other thing - while between waves the wind is almost non-existent.. But the waves in the video are not tall enough..
Herbert Masing Also look at the way they carry boards and paddles on the beach,it doesn't look they are struggling against 50 knots. The type of boards they use,also raise questions. For anything beyond 25 knots,we use hybrid windsurf boards for Sup (Bic one design) because they are shorter,but round in shape and extremely heavy. Maybe we are making too much from this video,but I expect people to be honest,otherwise its clickbait....
Awesome and an epic video, great work!
+Capt Eric Bergeron (“WeBeYachting”) Thank you Eric!
Need ro find some partners like this in Seattle.
Color grading looks dope! Maybe you should put the color grade settings in a preset and upload it on Dropbox for example. Great video though!
How do you get back?
Sup is a fantastic device! It could be even better if you may get rid of that paddling thing and use.. I don't know.. maybe some kind of a sail..
lol
You want the jet ski videos.
Fantastic video guys. Really sums up the feeling of downwinding. Its live on www.SUPboardermag.com. Keep up the good work.
+SUPboarder Magazine Thank you!
I didn't think it was possible to stand up properly in 50 knot wind :| this is some serious athleticism..
