THAT IS WINDSURFING. SO GREAT!!!
The drone footage has been fantastic, and the sausage adds an amazing dimension
Yes!! This is the best windsurfing action I’ve seen in a long time! Wave performance is intriguing for sure, but blasting chop in overpowered conditions is more relatable to me as an average windsurfer than pulling stalled double forwards. And look at the speed and control they put in! And I didn’t expect the sausage to be that good, but it sure works well! Love to see this brutal hardcore fin action where everyone uses a helmet for good reasons and are completely out of breath when they get back on the beach.
Another thing: nobody is saying anything about the conditions than that they are excellent. True sportsmanship!
Slalom X: success!
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
So nice to watch real slalom racing in solid conditions!
"Don't jump with the Slalom Gear" 😮
Awesome ! So much action and so much fun to watch!!!! Congrats PWA !
“She’s not a fan of the sausage” 😂😂😂
Im just so much in love with windsurfing. Big thank to the sailors, the organizers, the PWA, to Ben, to the drone pilots
Poor Ben, got so excited he could hardly express himself...and who can fault him..this was epic, amazing, insanely good....it feels like christmas is here and the PWA have given us the best present ever..
The race all oldschoolers were waiting for. Old fashion fin racing on full power never gets old. That is good action.
Windsurfing is back !!! I love the fin speed
It was a great day, good conditions, good racing. Bring on some more! Thank you to the organizers, racers, media crew!
Great footage. Very exciting races. I love it!
Epic coverage and races. What a show!! 👏
Fantastic. Possibly the best slalom-footage I've ever seen.
We loved the commentary - and the sausaaageee!
Love the action in these conditions at Pozo 💪 Good thing to be able to adapt the race format according to the spot 🤙🤙🤙
Yeah! Surfing on just a fin! Finally. Just an ordinary fin!! That’s windsurfing. Seen the boards blasting. See the boards planing. Lov’it!! ❤
So nice to see fin races. Something I can relate to!
That is fantastic entertainment!👍
Slalom X was amazing! 🌭 ++
great coverage Ben. it was incredible to watch a real slalom race . you did a great job commenting it. my hat is off to the racing judges too. 5 guys squeezed in a little zodiac facing the waves and the spray all day long. they should get a better boat next time . looking forward to next race👏👏👏👏👏
Terrific coverage and what a Day of Racing😀
excellent action, great drone footage, top event!
Back to the good old days. That´s the real stuff. Keep it on.
Amazing, entertaining, engaging. The new discipline is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to watch the second day.
Pure entertainment with real physical Action 😮❤💪 love it!
Those slalom actions and the pace with which they were performed were excellent to see, and hear, and although an occasional mistake occurred those can happen to anyone.
Now this is what I’m talking about! This is windsurfing at its best! Love this slalom X! It has actually just made me realise how much foiling has taken away from windsurfing at the highest level over the past 4 or 5 years. I get it, foiling has its place (I suppose) but as a windsurfer of 37 yrs (I actually used to race with Ben as a kid/youth, haha) this is what I love, fins, mega winds and now obstacles, let’s gooooo! 🔥
Superb action with blistering speed, and a challenging sea pushing riders at the limit. Many epic runs! No need for the sausage when conditions are this good and spectacular. Just let the girls and guys fly on their fin. (Great coverage as always!)
But we want to see some action. Otherwise, the one who has a good start will just finish first. I say we increase the sausages, we want carnage
Very exciting to watch fin racing! I watched most of the livestream on playback yesterday. really great. Feels like it used to feel. I hope more Slalom x in the future! Very nice editing of full day too.
Finally, real windsurfing action and not a foil in sight. Hooray!. So good to see everyone riding on fins again. This is what real windsurfing is! Long live the fin! Great commentary as always.
What the races! Great job 👏 thank you for organizing this slamon x event!
That’s it!!! Super cool, fin is back! I hope also that it also shows that the sport is far from gone, that this is still the king/queen of all wind-watersports, so much STYLE, power and tension in the movement. Superb racing, so cool to see fin blasting, I can relate sooo much to it! ❤
Thank you! so good to see the action up close 😁🤙
Great race. I disagree, the sausage makes it better. Add a few more sausages.
Have waited sooo long to watch great slalom fin action. Loving it!
Seems the girls were all afraid of the sausage. 😂
Amazing edit, commentary and footage.
that is great slalom!!! That's a great show !!! fantastic
Amazing action. This format is much cooler then pure slalom.🤙
Excellent coverage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wow what a fantastic racing day! This is real windsurf 🤙
Great coverage Ben. Loving this
Terminan mas exhaustos que los de olas… debe ser duro a ese nivel!!! 💪💪💪✨✨✨✨🤗
Slalom X is amazing! And the sausage can make a burger there.. blood boiling event!
Love to see the dancing boards in strong wind condiction, the racer can't speak after,lovely hard condiction 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Superbes courses!
EPIC Slalom FIN
Wooow. Super competitions!!!
So happy to see this :D
Tack!
That's what we were waiting for
Amazing action, great conditions, and kudos to the drone operator - epic shots, great angles, so much better way to convey the speed, dynamic stance, starting line approaches...! I hope he will get to upgrade the equipment for more bitrate, the choppy water texture eats a lot of bandwidth...
Great action! I wonder if the final leg could be the other way close in to the beach with the finish out from the bunker, so they have to face some breacking waves going out?
Something like the line the wavesailors take when jumping.
9:37 must have been some obstacle in the water that caught the fin
Very nice races. The new format adds a great dimension. It seems the sausage should be wider. It would give more options to jump it and reduce likelihood of collision. And it would add more to the decision making from the rider.
That was good, how slalom should have been all these years, improvements would be a change of course so that the riders are going out through the white water and waves.
It does seem to be get around the first mark in the lead and you stay there and win and the excitement is 3-5 whereas the foil seems much more open racing.
Overtake with fin and foil it's a much better set up than guys on fun and 9.0 sat at the marks sinking 🚀🚀🚀
They should put a bouy on the left of the sausage, if you don't want to jump to have to make a 360 around the buoy. That will make it more entertaining.
awesome!
Wow, I didn't know racing slalom with a fin wasn't a thing anymore 👀
Without sausage it wouldn’t be that exciting. Fin racing needs this elements and high winds. Cause without it, foil is delivering more thrilling and close racing. But both disciplines earn their spot in windsurfing. And guys both is real windsurfing, foiling too.
😍 Fin forever
SOOOO Epic
Epic
C’mon girls don’t be afraid of a sausage😂
No entendí porque no saltaron las chicas….
😄
Suprisingly attractive to watch but, gosh, i really wouldn't want to crash my slalom gear over the sausage.
great action, great footage, great commentary 🎉🎉 how many knots, though? just wondering what the guys manage with 6.0
