What a legend Ben! I had to turn the volume down as my wife thought I was watching porn 🙈 No idea how you managed to keep sanity when in such pain. Jordy made the race even more fun and good effort from the North sail guy. Well done mate
Congrats Ben! And thank you! The 40 minutes of "ksh ksh ksh ta ksh ksh ta ta ksh..." is the reason why I like this waaaay better than foil! And the porn commentary was fun too!
That. Was. AMAZING!! Thanks so much Ben! Don’t know how you managed to keep talking through it all. So great to have had that experience vicariously through you. Good on ya mate!!
Legend mate!! Well done, 32nd out of 1200+, thats a bloody podium in my book!! Terrifying with those guys coming at you from the opposite direction....What a hoot at the end!! Nice Gybes too, that definitely gained places.....North guy made a tactical error and ate it at the mark!! I thought it was actually entertaining to watch..... I think as hard as it is, every windsurfer in the world needs to experience something like this!!
Haha… the problem is because my mouth is working (commentating) the normal pain sounds just come out. Because when I commentate I just speak what is in my head… in the defi it’s just pain!!! Haha
That was amazing! Thanks Ben for sharing the whole thing. So many great one liners 🤣 ‘You are sad. What have you got going on in your life?’ WindsurfingTV is life!
Great Viveo! I was one of the poor sad sacks who watched the whole thing Ha! Ha! I First saw Windsurfing in Germany in 1976! Bought a board (Dufour Wing) a year later, and had many good years Windsurfing! Way to old (76) now! How the sports changed! Would loved to have had then, the gear that's around now! May the Force 5+ be with all you guy's doing it now!
That was absolutely awesome Benny! I watched every bit of that with you, feeling your pain from being in similar situations and races that have legs of 8 to 9 km or more. I couldn’t help laughing along with your pain, remembering my own feelings of agony while racing these longlegs on slalom gear. You did absolute fantastic in the race, and the content you bring is always excellent. Thanks for doing this for those of us who can’t get to these events. :-)
Thank you very much, Ben! It was like we were there with you! 🙏 You did a great race! And your jibes were excellent and at the best point, so that you pass many sailors in each one! Greetings from Greece! 🏄🤙
I was getting ready to go do a wing downwinder and somehow ended up on this. 40 minutes later I'm still here posting a comment... Damn Ben, that was grueling! Thanks for sharing something I really look forward to... never do in my life! Cheers from Maui. Giampaolo.
Great result and video Ben. You passed me twice (yellow Ga wave sail) at the start and together with Jordy on the last reach. I thought you were just filming each other after race ! It looked like you were having so much fun together. The "North guy' is Niek Huisman testing a prototype sail. Every windsurfer should at least try to do the defi once !!!
Amazing video, I watched every second and felt your pain! 🤣 Thanks for taking us along the ride and for the hilarious commenting! 🤣 Congrats to the great result and please keep up the great work!👍
Man, that looks intense! Should you not consider a seat harnas for next time?! So cool to see Jordy accelerate.. insane technique… would be cool to have him on the program explaining to us mortals how he does that (how to properly set up & rail the board for proper speeds in choppy conditions). Thanks for sharing you legend!
Was down at park rigging up yesterday telling everyone you have to go watch Ben’s video of the race. It’s epic. Funny, painful, entertaining, exciting such a great video. So many one liners loved the post production caption edits.
Thanks mate.. appreciate the comment. Especially after trying to edit it after driving back to Portugal 16hrs.. and wondering if it would go down well! 😁
That was insane. You absolute legend!!! I reckon so many people watching that would know that feeling / mental state when you start to talk to yourself - and for me that would be from doing a FRACTION of that distance at a FRACTION of that speed. How you did all that and gave us a coherent and super entertaining narration at the same time, I will never know. I salute you Ben. You're an absolute hero!
We watched the whole video while eating Breyer's Lactose Free Vanilla Ice cream because we didn't have popcorn. Great job sailing! It looked like you were being shot out of a cannon - only a man of your calibur could accomplish this !!!

Ben, you always put a smile on my face, it was fantastic to look through. :-) Congratulations on your performance.
I F'ing love watching and listening to your commentary! I am a speed junky but no where near as fast as you. And the Defi is a long ass race. When I do 2 to 3 mile reaches at that speed in chop it's exhausting! More power to you Mr Profitt!
I watched the whole thing, really gives an impression of the speed Ben. I am looking to do this event next year but I stopped windsurfing in 2005 and didn't start again until recently so I think I might struggle with the endurance.
Wow, what a great video and makes you realise how tough this race is! Got me hooked though and will be there next year. Thanks for another cracking video
Yes we watch the whole thing, we are thirsty of top windsurfing events videos ! I can't wait forr the PWA to be back. It's a cool way to share the défi with the commentary. Amazing result as well !
Amazing footage ben. I saw andy laufers race too. I think you would have gained many places if you would not have commented it. You could have saved a lot of energy 🍻
Wow… that was epic… those sailors coming the other way, i was cringing for you! I think i have muscle cramp watching trying to hold it for ya… legendary video, cheers🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Well done Ben. I watched the whole trip and glad I did. Great commentary. Reminds me of buzzing up and down the coast in an offshore wind at fraisthorpe in Yorkshire 30 years ago.
Thank you Ben for the ride, I have been known to have out loud arguments with my body when the pain sets in. Yes you have to be mad , would not have it any other way. Well done Mate. Great race 👍👍. We appreciate you.
Man that 3rd race was so much fun. Blasting down the beach on reach 3 and pointing as hard as never before on the 4th. Kinda calming to see that you big boys had the same cramping feet and aching back as I did :-p I ranked in the mid 500s, but I‘ll be back for more :D
I remember having my mouth very dry after finishing Defi races, so I can’t imagine talking all the way long! So now everybody knows how it feels to be in that race. No advantage for the experienced racers anymore 😂😂 congrats Ben !!
What a legend Ben! I had to turn the volume down as my wife thought I was watching porn 🙈 No idea how you managed to keep sanity when in such pain. Jordy made the race even more fun and good effort from the North sail guy. Well done mate
Haha
The best movie gives me motivation to do it ! Ben from Mauritius !!!
Et tu es venu sans le vent!! Reviens cette année camarade!! Ça va être grand!!
Congrats Ben! And thank you! The 40 minutes of "ksh ksh ksh ta ksh ksh ta ta ksh..." is the reason why I like this waaaay better than foil! And the porn commentary was fun too!
How the hell are you able to comment this scary run all the way!?!?!?! :D you are the real legend Ben! AMAZING!
Congrats mate! Great performance!
Absolutely brilliant Ben... Next time I am following you, if you dont mind waiting 10 mins lol.
That. Was. AMAZING!! Thanks so much Ben! Don’t know how you managed to keep talking through it all. So great to have had that experience vicariously through you. Good on ya mate!!
Ben can talk down the water if he wants too... super hero
Ben: "I'm not enjoying this"
Me: I loved it!
This is sooo good! Absolutely fantastic! Those comments.... hilarious :)
Cheers mate… funny that when I thought it was shallow you came past literally camped on the beach!! 🤣🤣
Legend mate!! Well done, 32nd out of 1200+, thats a bloody podium in my book!! Terrifying with those guys coming at you from the opposite direction....What a hoot at the end!! Nice Gybes too, that definitely gained places.....North guy made a tactical error and ate it at the mark!! I thought it was actually entertaining to watch..... I think as hard as it is, every windsurfer in the world needs to experience something like this!!
That was the best ending Ben! I had to watch that twice. I've never heard so much moning! 😂 Great job! That was awesome. Thanks Jordy Vonk! 🤣
Haha… the problem is because my mouth is working (commentating) the normal pain sounds just come out. Because when I commentate I just speak what is in my head… in the defi it’s just pain!!! Haha
Be happy, so he is not a religious priest 39 Minutes long. lol
Awesome footage and amazing result ! Love the Jordy Vonk cat and mouse at the end - when he overtook it just showed you how seriously quick he is
You are a gem to that sport Ben, all brands should rush sponsoring you while they can. Thank you so much !
What a pleasure following the whole race with you. It felt like I was there... Thank you for that.
That was amazing! Thanks Ben for sharing the whole thing. So many great one liners 🤣 ‘You are sad. What have you got going on in your life?’ WindsurfingTV is life!
Haha… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great Ben, Thank you to permise me watch full race onboard with you ❤🔥
Well done Ben! My hands could barely hold up the IPad by the end of the race. Couldn’t imagine how your forearms and feet coped with it all !
hahaha
@@WindsurfingTV I did swing by the beach and picked up a tee shirt……. Feel like a bit of a fraud…next year I’ll enter 👍
That was awesome - Been wondering what the DefiWind experience was really like - this is the most accurate it can get!
Great to see you have fun during the Defi and try to race Jordy. Well done mate.
In so much wind I know it would have been exhausting just to make it to the starting line. Hats off to all the competitors.

@@WindsurfingTV Jordy grabbed your mast on the finish line because it would be horror for him if he would have been overtaken by "some" YT vlogger 😂
Excellent Ben good result, thanks for commentary good stuff 👍
LOVE THIS BEN! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Amazing video, I watched every second and felt your pain! 🤣 Thanks for taking us along the ride and for the hilarious commenting! 🤣 Congrats to the great result and please keep up the great work!👍

WINDSURFING MADNESS! P32 is like a win, considering your talking for around 40 minutes. Big lung, big balls. Congrats!
Great job Ben! Guess must be “demanding” but you went through smoothly, and thanks for commentary, also demanding while riding 🤙🏻💙🤙🏻
Really epic one!!
F’ing awesome video Ben. I watched to the end 💪💥🤙. Well done man, pure mind over matter stuff.
It looks mental. I think one to defi nitely do 😆
Cool! Worth to see :)
solid race, great finish Ben
Mad but awesome. What a photofinish at the end. You guys almost hit eachother.
Legend!
love it !
Unbelievable Ben profit well done mate tough going but you hung on in there
That was tiring just watching it! Great effort Ben.
that was a treat. 40km on a belt-harness - why?
you'll ruin your back mate.
better use seat harness if you intend to go windsurfing at 65y
That’s so epic mate
good EFFIN job!
Well done Ben!
OMG!!!! that looks so fucking bananas!!!! and Jordy grabbing the mast of your rig!??? what????? hands down to everyone doing the Defi.
You can leave out the pro in your surname Ben! You’re just Fit as hell
you saying I'm not a 'pro' haha :)
@@WindsurfingTV if you finish 32 out of 1200 you definitely are a pro as well !
I have big smile all your race long. Hahaha so fun.
Good job Ben ! I almost shit my pants . So scarry !!
Incredible !!!
The kiss from Jordy was great 😂
nice job 🦾
Awesome!
Sick !
