One Year Windfoil - Windsurf Foil Experience and Crash Compilation | Andy Laufer

- I still remember like it was yesterday. Conca D'Oro June 2020 on a lightwind day. Manfred Rassweiler, CEO of the Pryde Group came to me and said "Andy, I know you hate foiling but just give it a try. Just go out and try yourself"!
I gave it a try and I got hooked immediately! I loved that feeling to fly over that beautiful Lago di Garda. I loved that new challenge to go fast straigt away! The problem is the same like in downhill skiing. Its super easy to go fast but to keep it under full control is the biggest challenge. That's why that clip is a kind of a Crash Compilation of the past year, especially in the beginning. There where many more fails but the clip got too long :)
Finally, since about half a year I got it mostly under control. The speed was already pretty good last year, sitting in 6th position in the World Speed Ranking at the moment:

Especially in light and gusty winds, the foils are much faster. But I think its not only the matter of speed. Its that feeling to fly completely quiet over the water. Now working on the jibes, especially on the norrow speed jibes! I think there is lots of potential in here.
And, of course that 40 knots barrier! Still a long way to go but Nico Goyard will break it soon anyway.

Cheers, Andy
some how its nice to see also pro-riders struggling ;) just gives me faith i will manage also foiling......
the sceneries you surf, just awesome
yes, I was struggling indeed :)
Epic footage! My fouvorite sequenze though is: „Scheiße, ...die starten!“ followed by: „I‘m coming! ....Splash“ 😆 Keep on rockin‘! Your vids are a pleasure to watch, as well as motivating;) 🤙
Thanks Dave, really appreciate that!
The scene with the dolphins is just unbelievable 😍
Always like before watch .
Thanks :)
hey Andy, excelente video!!!
would you make a video with any tips for begginres the 40 years old?
Thanks Frederico, if I can find the time besides my 3 kids and my normal job.,yes :)
Epic! 8:10 was the most hilarious with a bit of a swim. Big boys - big crashes lol Keep pushing the limits and take care.
Thanks Den!
oh man...this makes me feel better. haha.
thanks mate
me too
This is why I’m too terrified to learn foiling… 😮
hahaaa its not too bad :)
2:42 krass
aber wenigstens lacht er drüber
You almost did a Gwenyth Paltrow a few times
what does that mean? :)
Hi Andy, sag mal ist Dir bei den Stürzen was zu Bruch gegangen? Schaut zum Teil heftig aus.
Die Boards vorne ein wenig. Und mein Nacken ist seither etwas steif. Wird aber besser jetzt.
Dude you have inspired me so much!
thanks a lot
Andy Laufer has less crashes in one year than me in one session. rip
hahaaa how is your neck? stiff like mine? :)
Fun video Andy. It's good to know you are human and crash like the rest of us. Keep the content coming.
I love it ! One of the Best windsurfers o W celebrates his fails as no one Do. Respect and awesome footages i never miss
i think that's your much long video.....
Pleasure Matteo
sory, what mean pleasure????
@@AndyLauferby the way you are the best Andy
Great footage. Did you get any board damage in any of those crashes? Do you use any mast impact protections?
We must all get through the Washingmachine experience 😢and then ❤😊
Any tips as to how not to smash the nose of the board when crashing? Mine had to be repaired after the second trip out :(
get a nose protector.. unifiber offers a universal model with size selection
I would really like to try wind foiling.
Is it really difficult to learn?
2:43, was the backloop intentional?!😂
did you hit any fish there? what is the best equipment for you?
What caused the crash at 1:48 and how do you prevent it? I've had it happen a few times
on the foil you want to close the sail on the back of the board to create pressure on the stabiliser and to put your body weight more on the front to create pressure on the front wing in order to make he foil work as hard as possibile, but if you go to high and the wings slice the surface of the water they lose efficiency (due to air density equal to 1/1000 times less than the water density) and if your balance is over the front wing than you will "reverse wheelie", so your board will point the water and impact on a very raked position, slowing you down instantly and catapulting you. So, if the foil reaches its height limit, put your body weight on the mast, you will land with the back of the board first than the front (so no falling) and you will start flying soon :) If you manage to train more, you will also be able to let the wings gain drag before you touch the water but that's not easy at all
Gut dass es mir nicht nur so geht! 😂 Das beruhigt 😊
Das Lachen zwischendurch beruhigt 😅, Freude am Sport, auch wenn man mal stürzt.
Ooo the dolphins!!!
Hi Andy, I was hoping you could answer some of my questions, I am considering buying the go pro 9 for windsurfing, the head mount perspective looks good with slalom gear, you can see a good amount of the board, sail and the ocean, but I’m wondering how the head mount perspective is with wave gear? Are you happy with the footage you get?
Hi, yes its really good. Actually in waves you can also use the "flymount" on the mast and boom front and end. Alwas use superview. Cheers
Very nice progression!
Amazing how fast you are.
thank you :)
Man, those JP boards crash a lot! 😂 love the video!
hahaaa indeed
It iz not eazy!!!!!!!!!
Это так фойл свестит?
2:42 WHAAAT?! HAHAHA Backloop with foil
Yes this happens to unskilled foilers like me. Now better control :)
Hi! Just curious, how will you rate the safety of wind foiling overall? Do the catapults hurt? Thanks so much!
showww!!
Good vidéo
Did the switch to the new jp foil from the old jp make a big difference?
fantastico!
Thanks
An anhedral foil would be far more forgiving then a flat foil.
happy with this video. I thought I was the only who crash
hehe hopefully not anymore :)
@@AndyLaufer a little bit
Nice Video! Bitte mehr und auch gerne wieder in der Länge!
Gerne und danke :)
💩 die starten 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hehe
Sehr cool zu sehen wie du besser und besser wirst auf dem Foil😁🤙
Good vidéo
Thanks Jean
