It was great to meet you on the slipway in Mellieha, I was impressed that you asked our advice on launching and what hazards to look out for in the bay. It just proves that no matter what level of sailor you are, it’s always prudent to talk to the local sailors before going out. Peter Micallef

Looking forward to Round 2, when we will finally do the crossing. Stay tuned.
Thank you Nico and Lars! This kind of videos are great as they show the reality of windsurfing in weather changing conditions. This place looks unbeleivable!
Big like form France !! Thank you for making people aware of the risks of thunderstorm. I have been caught in a thunderstorm once while sailing and it was the scariest day of my life !
Hey Nico deine Videos sind immer noch top und es ist so cool zu sehen, wie Surfer zusammen Spaß haben, auch wenn am nächsten Tag ein Race ist. Das ist ein Teil des Spirits der mich immer wieder flasht.
Awesome! I think your videos hit a sweet spot between great windsurfing shots, travel reports, spot checks and entertainment. I assume you and your team had to put in massive amounts of work. Thanks!
Thanks to you I have started windsurfing, I have gone 3 or 4 times now on a big 300L board and hope to one day be able to windsurf really well. your videos inspire me to become better. Thanks!
I have watched the vid with my kids, my smallest daughter loves your colorful pink Gear, my son tries windsurfing with me soon (6 years). He loves sailing too 🎉 It is great to see your joy on the water ❤ very heavy with the bad weather and IT was great that you have first thought of your safety! Great man!
One of my best memories was in Limfjorden (Denmark), totally overpowered because I was on a budget, and could hardly go up against the wind. It was totally extreme and I was having a blast up until a thunderstorm started right above me. I immediately went into the water and hid below my rig until it was over. I looked like the Michelin-man (suit full of water) when I got out of the water. This video really reminds me of that day.
incredibly good pictures, you definitely made the right decision intuitively. that shows true greatness! I would love to see more slalom fin shots again =)
Been there when this kind of storm hits you and broke my head so glad you derigged so early, good call. Awesome video and nice to see that not everywhere you go is nice weather
I've been watching your channel for 3 years and you were the main reason I didn't go to kitesurfing. Love your channel and I'm very excited for the opportunity to win(I Hope so) your shirt. Very good video like all your other videos
Hi Maxime!! Congratulations, you won the DEFI Shirt. Can you leave me your e-mail address here, so I can reach out? Otherwise send me a mail to RUclips@nicoprien.de with a screenshot to proof this is your account.
You look amazing out there i wish i could windsurf and foil as good as you do ill get there sometime but it will take a whole lot of practice! Hope ill see some more of ur videos soon! And offcourse i would love the shirt ;)
Beautiful storm it was and horrifying at once. Derigging on the open sea is something we rarely practice. It could be a sub-topic of an upcoming video...
dang, those shots at 10:00 are honestly addicting to watch. Like i just phase out in front of the screen 😂 still a good video, even if there was no racing.
Nico, just discovered your channel and I'm loving it! Sailed dinghy boats my whole life since I was 7, (I'm 37 now), but new to windsurfing this past year. Do you have any advice for older new to windsurfing sailors? I am loving it, but I'm not 20 anymore and don't want to get hurt. Maybe a video about preventing injuries? Thanks so much and keep up the great content!
Malta, the place were I really got the virus of windsurfing at the age of 12…….. Been there several times and it is such a nice country and also very good for windsurfing. I learned windsurfing there at the Melliehabay at the beach side. Looking forward to your next video!
Uns gefällt ja bei 5:59 das Hufeisen am Kühlergrill sehr. Da es „richtig rum“ angebracht wurde, kann das Glück nicht rausfallen. Und es hat genutzt, alles gut gegangen 👍🏼
Super video Nico, and what a beautiful place Malta is glad to call it home. Windsurfers are welcome anytime of course🤙. Would appreciate the shirt😉 cu soon
The Maltese weather let you down but you didn't let Malta down, such a spectacular video of our lovely island. Also narrated by such an inspiring athlete, keep it up and hope to see you again. p.s. Oh and our beloved GHadira Bay slipway has become even more special, we should do a graffiti "NICO WAS HERE".
Wow Nico, that thunderstorm looked massif. Save choice to derig. I would definitely go there, the water looks nice. Hope for you that you're next trip has more of a happy ending.
Hi Nico, great Idea to go from Malta to Sicily. I just left Sicilia last Saturday. We have eben close to a good spot at the south-west-coast, called Torre die Gaffe. If you retry the crossing, maybe I can you some hints for good Arancini If you arrive there. Good luck. Jochen

Gewinne? Da sind wir dabei
I know that feeling when the wind dies and the air feels electric. Time to derig all those long pointy things.
Thank you Nico and Lars! This kind of videos are great as they show the reality of windsurfing in weather changing conditions. This place looks unbeleivable!
Brings back memories of sailing anytime there was wind even with the threat of thunderstorms. Thanks.
Super spannendes Windsurfabenteuer - wunderbare Bilder von Lars und äußerst unterhaltsam mit viel Charme präsentiert von Nico 😊
Big like form France !! Thank you for making people aware of the risks of thunderstorm. I have been caught in a thunderstorm once while sailing and it was the scariest day of my life !
Nothing beats a windsurfing roadtrip. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Mine starts in 4 weeks; to the Columbia Gorge in Oregon😎
Gorge! On the bucket list.
Lovely place. Another interesting story, Nico. Great shots Lars. Beautiful stormy sky. Thanks 🤙
Hey Nico deine Videos sind immer noch top und es ist so cool zu sehen, wie Surfer zusammen Spaß haben, auch wenn am nächsten Tag ein Race ist. Das ist ein Teil des Spirits der mich immer wieder flasht.
Love watching your video's makes me relive my windsurfing days in the 80's
Awesome! I think your videos hit a sweet spot between great windsurfing shots, travel reports, spot checks and entertainment. I assume you and your team had to put in massive amounts of work. Thanks!
Thanks Manuel!! Much appreciated :)
Your videos are always so exciting to watch I Can't wait for the next one keep it up
Spectacular as usual, Nico! The 2024 Neil Pryde and JP color schemes are fantastic.
24 minutes pure entertainment with a thrill
Wise decision to stop for safety reasons, you set the right example to all the windsurfers out there
Hii, I started windsurfing almost a year ago and I’m learning lots of things from you, thanks 👌
I just want to say that the little pink detail on the underside of the JP foil board with the NP sails looks amazing.
As always, you provide us with a very entertaining video. thank you so much
As always, another nice and good
video thanks Nico.
I have been following you for a long time and I love your videos, you are the best 🤙🏄
Thanks to you I have started windsurfing, I have gone 3 or 4 times now on a big 300L board and hope to one day be able to windsurf really well. your videos inspire me to become better. Thanks!
Nice man!! Keep on going 🙌
This was one hell of an adventure, just keep going forward!!!
Waiting for the wind at home , the video helps to not go that crazy after a week not on the water and having to study for school
You’re doing a good job for the sport and the community! All the best for the future adventures!
Hi Nico! It's Michael Wilson from Malta we met at Gillieru. Can't wait to see you again for part 2!
Was nice to meet you 🤟
Super video and a great story! Thank you for your nice work.
That was really fun to watch. Interesting to see episode.
10:20 look at that smile. Thats what windsurfing is all about
Toller Eindruck über die Windsurfszene in Malta und krass das Ihr trotz Gewitterwarmung die Umrundung versucht habt👍
I have watched the vid with my kids, my smallest daughter loves your colorful pink Gear, my son tries windsurfing with me soon (6 years). He loves sailing too 🎉
It is great to see your joy on the water ❤ very heavy with the bad weather and IT was great that you have first thought of your safety! Great man!
Awesome to hear Martin!!
Thanks for you high qual and with huge effort producing Video, great cam views🤙🏼
I started my 45th season and never sailed in thunder and not going to do so. Safety first. Thank you for the videos.
Another great video👏 its always a joy when you upload. Thank you for sharing this experience🤩
Great to watch the adventure. Initially, you seemed more scared of the car then of the thunderstorm 😬
What a strong experience!! Both terrifying and beautiful
Amazing, great quality as always👌
Nature wins. Thanks for sharing the story, looks like a wonderful place to visit, windsurfing or not
Great vid. Malta looks amazing. Bucket list for sure.

I looked like the Michelin-man (suit full of water) when I got out of the water. This video really reminds me of that day.
Great videos! Always almost like a short documentation. Sick footage and great editing!
incredibly good pictures, you definitely made the right decision intuitively. that shows true greatness!
I would love to see more slalom fin shots again =)
Cool video and great views of Malta. The island looks pretty cool. Awesome action clips and great editing from Lars well done. I enjoyed it
Everything under control like always! 🤯hope win the lycra , 7 is also my number on the water!
Awesome Video again. Just wanna go to Malta windsurfing now 😅❤
It can be really sketchy with thunderstorms out on the water, I have been in the same situation too and I really enjoyed this video like somany else!
Great adventure! The Neilpruts sail might have attracted the bad weather, who knows? Good to see everybody was fine!
If you get the chance Nico, you absolutely HAVE TO visit the Blue Grotto whilst you are in Malta - "beautiful" doesn't even BEGIN to describe it!!!
Wonderful filming!! Love it
Lovely places to sail. We always get 10 knot gusts to sail over here in Lincolnshire U.K. anything less is unusual.
Been there when this kind of storm hits you and broke my head so glad you derigged so early, good call. Awesome video and nice to see that not everywhere you go is nice weather
Awesome Video! I will be foiling sailing in Italy this summer!
Amazing video and fantastic trip! 🤙
I've been watching your channel for 3 years and you were the main reason I didn't go to kitesurfing.
Love your channel and I'm very excited for the opportunity to win(I Hope so) your shirt.
Very good video like all your other videos
Feels like you deserve it. If you don’t end up winning it, I’ll send you another one. Send me a DM on Instagram 🤟
You are the best inspiration for me to be a bether windsurfer.
Great to see you take on this challenge.
This video makes you want to come and sail in Malta, thank you Nico !!

Great video. Sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped. Just another reason to go back. Looks like Malta is quite the place to visit for a vacation.
I love your video’s. Keep on going❤❤
Once again sick Video, thunderstorm looked scary. Good stuff man.
Beautiful storm it was and horrifying at once. Derigging on the open sea is something we rarely practice. It could be a sub-topic of an upcoming video...

Pickup truck was the best part of the video 👍
I love the old town of Malta! I also have had many weather events while foiling. Nice choice (guter Idee) to call the race.
Such a sick video! Great to see the fact that u derigged immediately when u saw the thunderstorm. Safety first 🦾
Thanks for this nice video😍
Malta is lovely! Such dark sky is …. Bad luck and dangerus 😀😀

Siempre he pensado que si tuviera que desmontar la vela en el mar perdería alguna pieza… Difícil y engorroso 😂 Good job and nice video!
Looks fast 🏎️💨💨, but scary too.
Awesome video really good work !!!!

Great video as usual 😊
It was still an adventure! 💪
Wow Nico, that thunderstorm looked massif. Save choice to derig.

Malta looks amazing
Great sharing and great give away. Do give the lycra to one of the young guns 👍🏄🏼♀️
It would be very helpful to make a video on showing how to unrig on emergency situation
There is a windsurf rental in Mellieha bay. Nice spot
