    Well I wasn't going to put this on (totally un-edited) like this but a lot of people have been saying they like this sort of stuff.
    I do need to sort the camera out next time, water drops, angle, sounds haha.. yes its not the best but here it is anyway.
    South East Wind, Mareta Beach, Sagres, Portugal.
    Not usually the place we'd sail but we gave it a go anyway. First session 5.6m and 99 Quantex.. which is the Biggest wave gear I've got... probably the biggest wave gear I've ever used!!
    It actually felt pretty good.. but it soon got windy and I changed down to the 5m and 85 (part 2)

    Modern windsurf gear is so efficient, we don't need to subject ourselves to awkward contraptions. You're showing that the windsurfing fun keeps rockin' in light wind - busting loops and moves. That nice squarish tail area is also adding to your planing. And you haven't even tapped their 109 with a 6.2 to lower the threshold even more! Foiling and winging have been cancelled. 🤙

    Very nice to see raw footage. Thanks. Eh, this time no talking while riding :)
    I guess it must have been much more intense than your previous video. I use a portable keyvault/lock box. It locks around the door handles on the van. It's really convenient not to carry keys in the water :)

    First 2 moves are backloops?

      cheers mate.. yes.. back loops! Although not super clean as they were a bit forced!

    Cool Ben. Not sure if it is a good thing for windsurfing, but this helps inspire me to post vids.
    Apparently I say faaaark a lot. 🤪
    And I would think my vids are boring, but I could see how you might think this one is boring as it is like a level 1 out of 10 for extreme action for you but you posted it anyway.
    👍

    Really like 2 things: the non-cutting and the fact you left the insta360 at home. So much more relatable. I can see where you make different choices then I would do. Really insightfull. Who is your mate with the Simmer gear ?

    Hi Ben, so Mareta works in South Easterlies? I actually came down to Sagres just before xmas, as there was a strong SE (having been nothing for ages around Lisbon, typical winter). But tides were high and Martinhal looked like it was ready to eat somebody. Never checked Mareta though.

  • @SvenElshoecht77
    @SvenElshoecht77 10 месяцев назад

    Wow, the speed at which you ‘recover’. At 8.59 you recover instantly from what seems a sketchy landing with a foot seemingly painfully bent in the front strap.

    • @Ben-Proffitt
      @Ben-Proffitt  10 месяцев назад

      That's the key to learning new moves and tricks.. ' get good at recovery!!' haha

      @Ben-Proffitt  10 месяцев назад

      I actually haven't tried the 109... but I've heard people really like it. Actually the Quantex has gone down really well and im finding I'm using it more and more as my around wave board.
      I think the 109 might be a bit big for me though.. but maybe I should give it a go!
