@@muira58 your though is interesting. I agree with you in the way that I wouldn't like windsurf to be fully mainstream with tons of kooks on the spot just to publish an Instagram reel. But we have to face the truth, if we compare windsurf now to what it has been before, it is almost dying... Less and less people are windsurfing. I meet mainly 40-50 years old men on the spots. And that's the reason why the gear is so expensive, that's why pros windsurfers are struggling to earn decent money. So It would be positive to everyone to make it more popular but till a certain point.
@@oramonteu I know what you mean a happy medium would be great but it seems so hard to achieve in anything. It will be interesting to see if the new wave of interest in surfing lasts or not. But with windsurfing maybe that’s what it’s meant to be, a niche for a few cool guys that know what’s up. I know personally expensive gear never scared me off, and I think you get what you pay for as well. I love to sail as well and it’s a hobby that’s also dying, maybe people now don’t like going where the wind blows them so much! Haha
I was a photographer when I was a sailing coach. What you just said is exactly why I did it. The level of stoke from the kids when they saw cool photos of themselves was always inspiring. A lot of people stick their noses up when they hear you sail, or dismiss it as some liesurly hobby. But, it's a lot more like this (slower, sure) so it was always a good feeling to help those kids show off a little bit. I wish drones were around at the time and I could have captured this kind of footage too for them.

Myth Busters tested the hazard of drone props. They are quite flexible and incapable of breaking your skin. They also had a very big one with carbon fibre props and that did some damage
I just watched the video 6 times - and even had to show it to my wife on big TV.... I am completely stoked - insane footage! Please ceate more of this!!
I started windsurfing in the 90's. Years have passed but your footage makes me want to sail again, just to feel the amazing sensations this sport can provide. Congrats to the surfers and the pilot ! Nice work !
That clip at 2:10 is insane!!!! So close to the water. You can really feel what's it's like. Then the clip after that, flying all around the foils and ending with that epic view was brilliant! Amaaaazing drone flying
The best camera footage I have ever seen. You really get the feel for how fast you’re going and how quick your adjustments need to be. Never foiled before but man it looks so cool. Well done!
I saw the short version on inst reels but now this full footage gave me the goosebumps.. again. Definitely will be waiting to see your next collaboration! It's great when pro's meet pro's ,)
Thank you very much Nico for publishing it. This is truly one of the best videos. I also really liked your raw 360 video from defi wind last year. Keep them coming
Wow, this is the best way to 'dry' learn, when there's no wind. Haha, I remember learning windsurfing in the nineties, studying VHS tapes, I borrowed from the local library. Kudos to the drone pilot, very skilled and with the right exeperimental mindset. Way to go!
Honestly I feel what really makes you FEEL it is the proper motion blur from shooting after 180 degree shutter rule. Action cams and phones boost to such an insane shutter speed you dont get a sense of speed at all because everything is frozen completely on every frame. But it is not frozen. It is a blur and that is so engaging to behold on top of the more pov like angels. Love it! One day We shall race Nico so called Prien. ;)
Nico this is INSANE!! Next LEVEL !!! Yes, please arrange a full on FPV windsurfing movie and name it NICO 2.0 (this will be a benchmark). Yeap, this is it!!! Greetings from Paros!!!
incredible footage! I came home after 2 hours foil-jibe training - okay, I go back to the water - this video was so helpful to see all your feet- and rigg-shifting techniques! thanks a lot - great teaching video, how to foil-jibe fast :-)
Awesome ! Love it 😍 I wonder if now hydrofoil Windsurfing is faster in terms of speed than Classic Windsurfing ? Want more FPV footage please...Thank you
This really is a much fun as it looks, and it’s magical to feel the pull of the wind, the silent acceleration, nothing but rushing air and water over your body, requiring 100% focus to stay in it at the optimal angles and weight distribution as you maneuver around and deal with waves and changing winds. Once you’ve tasted real sailing, you can never go back. The only limit is you. Please go try wing foiling or even dinghy sailing if you’ve never done so and are interested. Many nonprofit sailing clubs exist around the country that have days or even whole classes for free or low cost. If you live anywhere near a lake or ocean, please give it a try.
This is so awesome to see! As a windsurfer, turned FPV pilot and now back to windsurfing (and wing foil) I'm super stoked to see this. I wish I could fly and ride at the same time! Haha.
Love the clip. What I liked better about the short is the pre-recorded sound of the foil slicing air. This is the moment I know I'm getting into the sketchy area speed-wise. For me, that's much slower, however, it feels exactly the same.
Hi Nico, again an awesome new perspektive...we need more of this... I think especially in really challenging conditions like last year at the worldcups at Fuerte and Sylt (maybe not really in a race but conditions and speeds like this). Jochen
Insane Video! Malcesine, Home sweet home! Defenetly, you need to take Patrick on the PWA team for more action! Now, with Nico, I hope this will be possible!
Definitely the kind of footages that can make windsurf more popular.
We want more!!!
Congrats to the drone's pilot.
Honestly though do we want it to be more popular? Look at what happened to surfing, its still cool but its not like it used to be

That footage was insane. It shows what it feels like when you’re screaming along above the water on foils.
Amazing footage! But no, it’s still not even close to what it’s really like…
Even more insane when converted into 3d by AI 🤯
@@Fluterra
You need to hire this guy full-time! And take care, those blades could leave some serious scratches, but the guy clearly knows how to handle a drone!

Not one person bothers to ask What kind of drone it is? Seriously
@@MindBodySoulOkit's a fpv drone brother
There are millions of fpv drone brands, Sherlock 🤣
@@MindBodySoulOkif you take it this seriously, probably built himself
The quality of these pictures is outstanding. Best promotion for the sport!
I just watched the video 6 times - and even had to show it to my wife on big TV.... I am completely stoked - insane footage! Please ceate more of this!!
Patrik is a beast of a drone operator
I started windsurfing in the 90's. Years have passed but your footage makes me want to sail again, just to feel the amazing sensations this sport can provide. Congrats to the surfers and the pilot ! Nice work !
Insane footage! One would think a 360 camera would be best but this is much more dynamic and the quality is crazy!
The sound of the foil whistling would also be awesome !
That clip at 2:10 is insane!!!! So close to the water. You can really feel what's it's like.
Then the clip after that, flying all around the foils and ending with that epic view was brilliant! Amaaaazing drone flying
That was the BEST video footage ever!!! The Best.
Total Game changer. We want more!!! Insanely awesome 😎 and Drone control is just as impressive ❤
Some of the best drone footage I've seen, both in terms of execution and subject matter. What a wild ride!
this is the coolest thing ive seen this year and i think I've watched it probably 10 times already. New bucket list items for sure.
The best camera footage I have ever seen. You really get the feel for how fast you’re going and how quick your adjustments need to be. Never foiled before but man it looks so cool. Well done!
Looks like the opening scene of a new James Bond movie! Great dronework! Really impressive 😊
Please do more filming with Patrik! This is amazing.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video. The sense of speed you get when the drone follows you is fantastic. Unbelievable footage.
Had to pause watching to like this video. Simply amazing!
Indeed, best drone footage matched with perhaps the best foilsurf I've seen. Truly outstanding. 🙌
Those fpv's that can mount a gopro will always have an advantage as far as image quality. nice work!
This is the best windsurfing video I've seen to date. It's flying skills at an extremely high level.
Ja definitiv mehr solche drohnenaufnahmen. Das war super!
Great footage man. You’re pushing the limits of windsurfing videos. Fantastic.
Wahnsin, was der Pilot auf dem Brett und an der Fernsteuerung drauf hat. Echt coole Aufnahmen
I saw the short version on inst reels but now this full footage gave me the goosebumps.. again.
Definitely will be waiting to see your next collaboration! It's great when pro's meet pro's ,)
Great footage. Great sense of the speed. Great windsurfing and great pilot. We want more !
Thank you very much Nico for publishing it. This is truly one of the best videos. I also really liked your raw 360 video from defi wind last year.
Keep them coming
Incredible footage!!!! What an amazing combination of experiences!! I'm blown away. The drone really makes you feel like you are there, with you.
Those shots are MENTAL! Hydrofoil surfing looks like so much fun!
Insanely good drone footage! Brings it to a whole new level.
what a madman on the drone!! Annals of windsurfing already....
Increadible! Magnificient ! Unbeliveble and beautiful. The fpv also nice
Crazy. Best footage ever. I can't imagine this drone video shooting it on Jaws -Hawai... :D
Amazing filming. I really cannot understand how these things balance without electronics and you don't go over the bar every second.
It's a wonderfull point of view !! I never saw that before ! I love such images...
Wow, this is the best way to 'dry' learn, when there's no wind. Haha, I remember learning windsurfing in the nineties, studying VHS tapes, I borrowed from the local library. Kudos to the drone pilot, very skilled and with the right exeperimental mindset. Way to go!
That was some absolutely awesome hydrofoil wind surfing and fantastic FPV drone video. Watching them FPV drone video was spectacular.
Magnifique ! J'ai tellement envie d'en faire !!!!
Insane but absolute the best video of windsurfing I have ever seen!
Incredible footage, gives a real feeling of speed
That’s nuts! Such a great vantage point for tutorials too

He is flying a Gopro but maybe an ND filter to get the slower shutter
@@WhiskyMystery You can clearly see the ND Filter on the GoPro, when he shows the drone Aqua4.0 ;)
@@XXRapi ah makes sense
That was crazy. Definitely more footage like that would be great.
Insane ! Great foiling and nice shots. Congrats everyone ! An idea : same type of video in good waves !
hope to see that kind of quality and spectacularity in the coming pwa events!
incredible footage, What a speed and control of the winsurfer and the d pilot...just crazy!!!
Fantastic footage and awesome skills!
That is incredible. It immediately made me think it was in game footage from a video game!
Wow - schon verrückt wie sich alles entwickelt.Foils und Dronen am Limit.....die Geschwindigkeit ist krass - die Drohne ist so nah.....Top Video !!!
Awesome footage - I'm stoked!
That's the way to promote this amazing sport. Hopefully the sponsors of the PWA-events invest in guys like Patrick 🔥🤙🏻
Do more with both the surfing and drone footage. Amazing video and surfing.
This is foiling man, not the overrated/boring winging’ fad, great shots and pls do more!! 🤙🏻💙🤙🏻
Nico this is INSANE!! Next LEVEL !!! Yes, please arrange a full on FPV windsurfing movie and name it NICO 2.0 (this will be a benchmark). Yeap, this is it!!! Greetings from Paros!!!
I think that's the best flatwater windsurf footage I've seen!
incredible footage! I came home after 2 hours foil-jibe training - okay, I go back to the water - this video was so helpful to see all your feet- and rigg-shifting techniques! thanks a lot - great teaching video, how to foil-jibe fast :-)
That was superb. Drones have the potential to resurrect windsurfing. Can we have more but on the fin please!
One of the best videos I´ve ever seen, I wish they can do one of wingfoil soon 😀
Wow, beautiful video, and beautiful sails and boards, keep it up!
Wow...Great video and also great pilot drone🤙👏

Amazing footage. Thank you!
mega cool !! - great skills both above and on the water
insanely cool footage! Malcesine such a great spot!
Insanely beautiful!
Amazing 🤩 Nico, imagine this in PWA race !!
Best windsurf video I have ever seen. Glad you didn't get killed. Looked like you two guys got a new haircut on the water.
I am from the Garda lake, nice recordings. Insane drone footage 👍
such a sick POV!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Nico, again an awesome new perspektive...we need more of this... I think especially in really challenging conditions like last year at the worldcups at Fuerte and Sylt (maybe not really in a race but conditions and speeds like this).
Jochen
This looks great! Very professional footage!
Ja auf jeden Fall mehr davon. 😮💪🚀
Poetry in motion 💯
Fabulous. More please.
Awesome footage !!!!!! You should do another videos, on wave and slalom fin
those foil windsurfers are unbelievably quick .my son and twin grandsons are drone flying and filming professionally .
Yes and Yes! More and More!!!
Awesome drone footage! And windfoiling is just awesome. Sad that many windsurfers prefer winging.
Close and distant surprising shots. Nice
Incredible footage
Wow, spectacular!
Insane Video! Malcesine, Home sweet home! Defenetly, you need to take Patrick on the PWA team for more action! Now, with Nico, I hope this will be possible!
WOW! incredible! shots!
truly beautiful footage.
Finally my two favorite hobbies merged ❤❤
Malcesine is always a nice destination. We spent some days there last week. Absolutely phantastic footage. 🥰🤩
Great video. Thanks a lot. This is the stuff that makes you want to go out RIGHT NOW!!! 😁🤙
Excellent drone footage
The best I ever watched !!!
WoW this is next level !
Insane footage
Really epic, this is next level!
That sas crazy, please do it again with Patrick !!
great video! Every time hard to see that fin slalom has no chance in these conditions.
