this is soooooo good!! A windsurfing video, which actually shows a full session! All of the usual sponsored video content on Instagram videos is full of those highlight clips of perfect waves, perfect moves, high jumps, and the same stuff for the 100th time. Seeing a normal wave rider ripping a session with the typical ups and downs is way more interesting. - chasing waves.... not catching some - Jibing... in 0 wind, awquardly shifting around while your board sinks - cruising around, looking back over your shoulders every 5 seconds, waiting for the set... then missing the set - riding a wave, making turns... falling in and hustle to water start before the next set. Thats a real session :) This is what we all go through in order to catch a few good ones Thanks for sharing it
Sometimes we don't need the radical moves by the best riders in the greatest conditions and the beautiful scenery, high end editing and soundtrack. But the real world, decent windsurfer trying out sketchy winds with good enough waves. No music, not much editing but a quality raw footage and here it is.. Good, long report on how it looks like going out there. The fun, struggles and fears on getting out of the water sometimes. Refreshing to see such video! 👍
That's what is so great about these videos. Its real windsurfing, with all the slogging, the fluky wind, the struggles, the stalls, getting caught in the break with no wind. Its the real thing. Great stuff, not to mention the 4k which is outstanding. If only we could recreate all the 1990's era video in 4k format! dare to dream...
Screw the tropical windsurfing videos with double flips and throbbing music, this Windsurfing Shark Island video and its predecessor are the most captivating and enthralling windsurfing videos currently on RUclips.
I'm new to windsurfing and I can't believe how difficult it is! And that's just on flat water. But everyday I get better, and these videos make my imagination run wild about my future in this incredible sport, even if I only get to doing a franction of this. Thank you! Windsurfing, where have you been my whole life!
@@windsurferI’m getting more wind curious! Just wondering, could this session potentially been better with a bigger sail? Did the wind drop a fair bit during the session?
Love this stuff. Real world sailing by someone who is not some rock-star Pro. I felt every moment he got smacked by a gust or fell in when the wind died.It's bloody tough sailing in strong side-off conditions. Massive gusts right when you don't expect them and then holes with no wind. Hats off to Duncan. Reminds me of sailing off Long Reef.
The rawness, the vastness of the ocean, incredible! This is one of my favorite windsurfing videos, just raw footage, the sound of the wind and waves, the fun sides and also the struggles. Keep it up Paul! Fantastic
Yes impressive effort and I like the style "warts and all" footage showing all aspects of wave sailing- the hard slog, the awkward, the difficult, the dangerous and the fun.. thanks to both Paul and Duncan. From my armchair, Tennyson, Adelaide.
Raw Nature, wild, untameable and beautiful. Very few people, no matter how rich, powerful or wise they are, will ever experience screaming down the face of one of these growlers on a little board with a sail. Pure unadulterated envy and respect
Very difficult circumstances for Duncan, the windsurfer, and for you as the drone-pilot. A big bravo for both of you. I love the intro: locating the spot, picking the board and rigging the sail. Keep on posting.
Clearly worth all the effort getting in! Great video - mission at the beginning to frame the session. Trek downwind to the spot, then picking off the sets out the back and then all the rides. Plus doesn’t cut away when rider crashes or gets caught inside trying to water start. Nice and raw! We’ve all been there so good to see how a skilled rider deals with all that. Top notch video. Much appreciated!
Another excellent video and whole session without music. Clearly the subject is an excellent windsurfer. I have been out in similar conditions and I have to say it was my nightmare come true, but this guy handled it well. More please!!
Hi from east coast canada :) Excellent windsurfing and the video was outstanding, no annoying music just the ocean surf and and wind the way it should be. The drone takes you right there I could feel my heart pumping everytime the wind died for him just inside the break. Definitely be tuning in for his next adventure. Keep em coming. All the best :)
That looked like a dam good workout! Great to get back with body and gear intact. Well done to Paul for capturing the session, every windsurfer needs a wingman like that to capture their sessions for prosperity!
Amazing video. Totally immersive. Can smell the ocean, feel the gusts and the water slapping my face. Congratulations to you both : rider and drone pilot !
Blowing a hard southerly here in Sydney at the moment which has lead me to find both videos Windsurfing Shark Island. Really awesome sailing and footage. The launch reminded me a little of Green Point Angourie in a southerly although GP less sketchy as is the return to a sandy beach. Very smooth relaxed sailing Duncan particularly in the first video, not overpowered just poking around looking for the next wave. Sailing off a wave, having a spell before heading out again. A few takeaways in that alone. I agree with the comments, no music overlay just the wind is brilliant. Cheers.
Awesome... Crazy !!! This is what real windsurfing is like... i can feel every moment of the anticipation..fear..struggle and shear excitement!! Hats off.. Very very well Done! Cheers🤙🏼🤙🏼👊🏼👊🏼
As a long time windsurfer, appreciation of this sailing session, the thought gone into it, is simply amazing and then to watch the Duncan ride those waves...epic! I kite now. Much much simpler. First love though is still windsurfing.
love the video, it shows real world windsurfing with all the struggles....., Paul van Bellen as always does not disappoint, showing all aspects of windsurfing
To me this sport an like surfing those who do it are beyond impressive. I find this just beyond words I love that you people have found a way to live your dreams man!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Used to be Windsurfer for 15 yrs. Switched to kiting 15 yrs ago. No more schlepping and uncertainty...the wind range of modern kites is truly a game changer. Shark Island spot looks epic! Hats off to da sailor...brings back memories of schlepping in Maui, in San Fracisco and in Baja.
I want to add that the sound in this video is very impressive, the roar of the sea and wind creates an atmosphere of being in the very thick of the action.
Wonderful complete footage , great use of drone , feeling like being there with the natural sound, without boomboxes. Thnx for sharing, great job both windsurfer & filmer!👏👏👏
yeah, love the ambient background audio. I mean, I'm a musician (excuse me...drummer) but I don't generally want to hear music over the action! I leave my (much shorter) mountain biking, kite GoPro vids w/the huffing and puffing, splashing, crashing audio. strong work.
Great stuff as always Paul. Love seeing this real world windsurfing, full and uncut. We don't get waves like that here but I can still imagine myself being on them 100x more than any in the "pro" super energy/fast cut other RUclips vids. Keep on keeping it real. Can't wait to see if its gonna be KA1111 in Indo, or drone work on the IWT/PWA tour you get to do. Obviously either client will probably have their own requirements, but my mouth is drooling at the prospect of getting to see a solid 45mins (or more please?) of either Polakow in Indonesia, or pro tour riders in Bali (?) shot and edited like this!
Thank you Paul - this was awesome. Great flying, capturing the atmosphere of the area (that I know nothing of). I was thinking of titles as this was soaking into my soul... Risks vs Rewards... or this overused... where there is a Will there is a Way! Thank you Duncan! Be well Gents
Fantastic video! At 13:40 it's really not a good place to fall in the water seeing the set coming ... I shiver just thinking of it. Paddling back with a broken mast in big surf is really not fun! The return to shore was sooo sketchy. But good surfing action!
This was really brave !!! Well done ! Just like windsurfing in big waves with low wind is. Looks like you know the spot really well, i mean because the timing between the waves. Funny hole in the sailmastflap... get it repaired before its too late.... :)
Great effort there bro - swimming in to the beach I always grab the mast tip so my body acts as a sea-anchor. Lucky not to lose the rig and the board here, aye :)
Everyone: Haha the launch on the first video was thrilling as hell...no way windsurfing can be even more nerve-racking! Duncan: Hold my beer...you haven't seen me getting back to the beach yet! 😎
Video perfecto del windsurf real. Felicidades. Es tan real que hace sentir como que el que navega soy yo. Cuando te acercas a tierra hasta que consigues estar sano y salvo es emocionante. Puntuación al windsurfista y piloto del dron: 10.
that was fantastic! First time in a while I have enjoyed a YT video! love that you included the whole session!! No music and just the sound of the waves during the drone footage even if it was added sound was perfect! Mad skills with the drone flying! Keeping track of Duncan with an evolving terrain can be quite tricky! Some parts you were under 1m height for sure! Mavic 2 zoom?! :)
I used to do this sort of solo sailing in big swell for 15 km down the coast in Adelaide on my own with a friend in a car watching when I was 20. Was utterly exhilarating. But this sailor could easily have died that day, especially coming in he could have hit his head on the gear or the rocks, or drowned if he got separated from his gear. Well done! No doubt was an excellent work out and one to tell his mates.

I just dissed another video for the same reason.
Indeed! Way better than the over-hyped "red bull" vids...

Good on you mate! It’s not an easy sport but satisfying every time you learn something new!
@@windsurferI’m getting more wind curious! Just wondering, could this session potentially been better with a bigger sail? Did the wind drop a fair bit during the session?
@@windsurfersorry just saw, 40 to 5kts😂
I love it. We beat the crap out of our gear on rocks or whatever, then carefully put it away in protective bags for the ride home. Awesome video.

Good comment..
Exactly!
How on earth did he manage to get back to dry land without breaking anything? Very raw and refreshing to see..
The rawness, the vastness of the ocean, incredible! This is one of my favorite windsurfing videos, just raw footage, the sound of the wind and waves, the fun sides and also the struggles. Keep it up Paul! Fantastic
Happy you like the video Sueni!
Awesome! Duncan has steel eggs ! Thanks for video !
Excelent, you know what the windsurfer likes, backstage, real windsurfers and sea sound!
Yes impressive effort and I like the style "warts and all" footage showing all aspects of wave sailing- the hard slog, the awkward, the difficult, the dangerous and the fun.. thanks to both Paul and Duncan. From my armchair, Tennyson, Adelaide.
so breathtaking! Certainly of the best windsurfing movies I have seen.
An absolute heart stopper of a video! Edge of the seat stuff. Loved it.
A real windsurfing session. A tough one. More than a video this is a documentary. I love it. Thank you very much from the Canary Islands.
Thank you Victor glad you enjoyed it!!
The best surf Video! I love it, because it is real. Not that boring stuff!
Fantastic drone piloting!
Totally dig the total session format. Shows how hard core it is.
Raw Nature, wild, untameable and beautiful. Very few people, no matter how rich, powerful or wise they are, will ever experience screaming down the face of one of these growlers on a little board with a sail. Pure unadulterated envy and respect

I‘m not a surfer but this footage was amazing.
I literally could feel where the wind was coming from and the fights he had. Beautiful.
The return to the beach was just CRAAAAZZZY !
Clearly worth all the effort getting in!
Great video - mission at the beginning to frame the session. Trek downwind to the spot, then picking off the sets out the back and then all the rides.

The car , the gear, the balls, thanks for another brilliant video!

This gives me the love/fear feeling I have when I'm windsurfing (smaller-but-big-to-me ) waves. One of my favorite windsurfing videos.
Amazing footage of a level and situations I can Identify to...not some inacessible professionals or other Big shots you can only dream of. Cheers
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video. Totally immersive. Can smell the ocean, feel the gusts and the water slapping my face. Congratulations to you both : rider and drone pilot !
Excelent !!! We are literaly on the board with the rider during all the film. Fore shure, I'll wear my wetsuit for the next video. Congrats !
Super work with the drone! Kudos to the pilot! A+++ captain!!!
That is a rocky beach! I couldn't believe that the gear survived the exit. I like your videos. Great filming.

Kudos to the drone operator, really good footage!
Much respect to Duncan for that entire session and also to Paul for his 'uncut' storytelling format!
Hardcore, what a memorable session Mate, and was recorded!. Greetings from Argentina.
🙌🏽
Hard to understand how perfect the video is. Incredible!!!
TERRIFIC - just the sounds of the elements, great footage - thanks very much
Balls of steel!
Nice capture
Love those session reports. Great!
Amazing footage ! Real life windsurfing, with the whole , gust, crazy waves, harsh shore break... KUDO ! Thank you !
Wow, what a stunning video! And many-many thanks for NOT adding any soundtrack!
🙌
I would'nt put my worse ennemi in thoses conditions !!! Thanks for the great footage !!!

Great footage! And congrats for going in and getting out of the water on that day ! Pretty stressful watch!
In those conditions that is a tough place to sail. Good on him for going for it.
Definitely!! Duncan is a legend!
Wow. Epicness. Amazing footage, amazing surfing.
"No point talking about it" what a legend!
😂
I was like "THE BOARD! SAVE THE BOARD!!!!!" hahaha amazing courage and film too!
Ha ha yup!
This is A grade Paul so good!! I love the takeoff of Duncan from the launch, off like a rocket. What a legend he is. Your video is amazing!!! thanks
I want to add that the sound in this video is very impressive, the roar of the sea and wind creates an atmosphere of being in the very thick of the action.
My first board is being shipped, this is so inspiring it feels like a highlight reel.
😀👍
Wonderful complete footage , great use of drone , feeling like being there with the natural sound, without boomboxes. Thnx for sharing, great job both windsurfer & filmer!👏👏👏
Thanks for taking the element „time“ back into your „Clip“, it is good for getting an understanding of how big the ocean is.
WOW AMAZING... II IS LIKE BEEN WINDSURFING!!!!
Very impressive. Remind never to buy second hand gear off him! 😃
😂😂😂
Well, the gear is fully tested after all, so perhaps not a bad idea (-;
Skark island en Australie ou en Namibie ?
Super vidéo !! Très poétique, juste le vent, les vagues et le windsurfer ! Merci !

Fkg Crazy! Great stuff. Really like the long form, raw, unedited style. And the drone work is amazing.

Max respect and very honest documentary, take care A+++++
REAL conditions! great video and DUNC is a great waver.... to keep calm in such a difficult situation.
😀👍
It blows my mind how stable the drone is in this wind. Nice flying as well
I like the moment with the mast sleeve :-)

Good job mate! Made it look easy, that KS3 took it well!!☮️
That looked like hard work! The Island is probably better on a freshening breeze, less holes. Once again, good job. Was nice to watch.
Everyone: Haha the launch on the first video was thrilling as hell...no way windsurfing can be even more nerve-racking!
Duncan: Hold my beer...you haven't seen me getting back to the beach yet!
😎
Every session is a ring clencher with this guy...
sounds suss
and the next one .... siiick 👌 keep em coming
I thought you were a goner on that exit.🙀
Some biggns out there,you’ve got big balls Duncan Osborne.
Great vid again PVB
The video is mesmirizing!
Wish I could come with you next time !
The video is mesmirizing!
I'm glad I'll be watching and not coming with you next time !

👍👍👍
Great video
Amazing ⚡️✨
Well done capturing this! Like the style 🤙
Soul session right there
Wind seems a bit light, but sweet waves. Great video, thanks for excluding the music
I just snipped the launch in this video and posted it on my facebook, with link back here. I really like his launch!
Sweet mate!
Nice session ;)
He is a pretty big guy. Must be super windy with a 4.3. Well done
