Hello Nico, I am a snowboarder (former pro) and I have so much trouble to improve my riding in waves. Everybodies tell me it is similar to snowboarding but I feel so embarrassed with the sails, it is funny. But I keep pushing my limits every time and have so much fun and joy practicing this sport. I am sooo windsurf addict now ;-) Can't wait to sail again

Props to microphone quality in these windy conditions haha

4:00 Bringing just two sails is often a risk... But, sometimes you just know :-)

Its very nice to follow your youtube channel.

i love this vlog style

Thank you Nico for taking us with you on your trips. Good to see you are all fit again. Hard work pays out🤙

Like the footage with that camera/ fitting, it really gives a great action- speed feel. What are your harness lines Nico? They look very interesting. Always good Videos. keep up the good work. Thanks.

Very cool!!! Question; Where did you go snowboarding in Norway??? Love to see also more of that ;-)

Your ending words exlplain the pareto principe very well. I love the nothern germany content, cause I see, on the Rough days I‘m not the only fool outthere. ❤

me also buying a brand new board next few weeks i have no idea as to which board as their is so much choice (buying a new board to get rid of a board as its now looking a little funky.. weighting a ton as its knackered)

i cant also wait for my 5 degree windsurfing sail in March ice cream headache time me thinks

How many sails (& boards) are you allowed to register ?

Very cool video again. 🥶 Was curious about why you have an A and B 32cm Chopper fin. What is the difference, you would say they are the same.

Nice video as always 🙂 But don't you take a small risk getting out alone in 5 degrees and with offshore winds?

Hello Nico. I have the same gloves, but mine arms got so much cramp, but amazing warm. What do you think why?

Panda fur jacket, that's cruel ! 🐼

are you not afraid to be just alone in the water? do you have anyone that is looking over you, just in case?

Hi Nico! I'm in progress of changing my storage for windsurfing stuff. I always thought it's not good to keep it in unheated space, especially in winter, when temperature might make water freeze. But I see you do it and your equipment is just fine. Do you think it's good idea to keep it this way?

Hi Nico im enjoying all of these videos thank you 🤙🏾

Nico, do you use the lense or not with X4 on the water ?

I enjoy a lot these videos!! THX!!!!

Sell my your old boards Nicooo!! 😜

Moin Nico, richtig geil wäre mal ein Winter Set Up Video. Also: welche Handschuhe, Schuhe, Neo etc. 🫶

Great video and spot on about having confidence in yourself improving your ability. True for every aspect of life.

Hi Nico! Are you using the Combat 6/5/4 for this kind of weather? Also, your harness lines look practical, always staying at an angle despite its length. Which brand is it?

Was on the water the same day, I love winter sessions!😍

Nice one! NP7 custom carbon fins coming I guess! 😀👍

Hi Nico , welche Trapeztampen fährst du? Viele Grüße, Markus

How many Pandas did it take to male that cool fur coat ? ... !

Wauw Nico Cold sessions have definitive charm. Love your fins adventure And your basis coaching tips are simple, sail as much as you can, so you knie your gear well so you can push your level. Great plan for 2025 …. But i prefer 8 plus degrees Keep up your good work mate

Thanks Nico! I'm looking forward to hearing more about the fins! Some partner sailing tests next or more prototyping?

I love those not so prepared vlogs, it has an element of uncertainty! On you main channel you try to make too professional and it ends up being too boring because everything is planned out.

Just got my new 32 SL S- from Z-fins. So happy! It is in my bedroom so it will absorb the good vibes.

Vermisse den Sommer da ist es nicht so kalt aber dafür kann man nicht Ski fahren gehen

Brr.. it looks very cold. Cool footage. You still doing a good job filming alone.

Nice❤🎉🎉

great video Nico, I used Flymount from 2017 (with Gopro) and from 2020, I used Insta360 with the original harness mount plus stick all extend. I have lost one Insta360, (broken attack of harness mount) Insta has upgraded the mount and the second insta360 has broken from the base of the stick ...in my opinion, it is not the best solution for action sports with water (like windsurfing, on the website of Insta had removed that the accessories are compatible with windsurf). My friend has created a reinforcement with carbon to upgrade the base of the harness, I will use the camera with no maximum extent of the stick (it's too fragile for windsurfing). In my opinion, I think it is too heavy to mount on a helmet. P.S: Nico I use GPS to add stats to video, cool output.

For a budget-friendly alternative to a flymount, consider the Ulanzi R094, which costs less than €30. Made of durable aluminum, it features solid construction and a bracket that opens up to 6 cm-sufficient to clamp onto both booms and masts. However, to prevent losing your camera, always secure it with a cord tied to your gear.

Great

Nico…Looking for suggestions on a set of waterproof earbuds. I’ve seen videos of the pros using them. Thanks in advance!😊

On O’ahu windsurfing seems nearly dead. On Maui it still seems big. Kiting is obviously alive and well. But wing foil. Or anything foil related, is going absolutely nuts. I just love that you can add a foil to any current discipline and it just gets better. Now there’s parawing. 😮‍💨

is the unicorn stick the one from the ski bundle ?

What helmet were you using with the unicorn mount?

i made my own harness mount, based on standard products, so you can change the angle, length etc. very easy, and all carbon so you don't fel it at all. next to that I use the flymounts (the old one and the new one) but be careful when using the standard GoPro connection as it's plastic fantastic and with a long extension it's not that durable...

It’s worth noting that any camera on top of the helmet gets in the way when water-starting.

Thank for the link Nico 🍻. I've just used it to order one. £450 for camera and SD card. Come with a free selfie stick and flask 👌🏻🏄🏼‍♂️

Very nice summary...and a great camera. Also works well mounted on a buoy in flat water like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYrQp6NoiamiZq8 Or mounted in the air 😊... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4q7ZaeQmZilecU

It puzzles me why most of you pro guys don't use the utility frame and put a leash on it. Can you please test the new insta360 back bar with the action stick. Is it strong enough for windsurfing or should one look for a different stick?

Hi Nico, danke für die gut erklärten Videos, nicht nur zur Insta. Amüsanterweise waren es gerade Deine Videos, die mich seinerzeit zum Kauf der One X2 nötigten 😉😂 Ich nutze sie hauptsächlich beim windsurfen und auch beim tauchen. Ich musste sie leider dieses Jahr gegen eine X3 tauschen, da mir im überhitzten Hotelzimmer der Akku geplatzt ist😢 Also immer Akku entfernen. Warum keine X4? Weil für mich der Mehrwert nicht erkennbar war. Denn das Thema GPS bewegt mich leider auch, es nervt völlig. Zumal man von insta zwar hört, daß die Fernbedienung wasserdicht sein soll, aber offiziell auf der Website steht es nicht ⁉️ Auch die Kopplung mit meiner Garmin funktioniert nicht sehr gut. Vielleicht hast Du ja die Möglichkeit da "Druck" zu machen 😉 Denn so teuer und zu groß kann der GPS Chip auch nicht sein. Last but not least, wie vermeidest Du die Wassertropfen auf der Linse? Das Angebot bei insta dazu ist eher kontraproduktiv, da sich beim Linsenschutz wie auch dem "Überzieher" immer wieder Wasser sammelt. Meinen nächsten Test dazu werde ich mal mit RainEx fur Motorradvisiere machen. Hangloose und weiter so 👍🏼👏🏼
