WHAT DO USE I SAW EARPLUGS ? THANKS AND NICE VIDEO

Do you try boards from other brands for comparison? As a light weight rider it could be interesting. All grips are developed for the weight of Victor, right?

Hi Lucas, just a small question about your masts : why patinum 340 et gold 370 ? And not full platinum ? Or 340 gold and 370 platinum ?

Why do you slide out every top turn? In my eyes very poor powerless sailing.

Hi man, around 2:30 you put ear plugs, why do you use them?

Awesome riding, mate! Which gopro mount do you use?

Hi Lucas, great video ! Do you prefere el medano or pozo ?

Very nice looks fun

Good shots of your, er, arm!

Thanks Lucas - nice footage!

Nice footage! Thanx for sharing! Placing the camera a little higher ( so the arms would not block the view) would be a little better .... great ! Keep the stoke alive!

hey man i'm having a hard time with the harness as i cant seem to keep a steady direction because of gusts which makes me fall because of harness, any tips to fix it ?

What plugs are for?

you can not win them all😊

🙌🏽

Onwards and upwards, Lucas. Learn from it, don't dwell on it. 😀

Vamos tío! El año que viene mejor

Thanks for your honesty, but you and I need to talk about this. There is another approach to winning heats - and to winning events - which sidesteps all this.

As I was watching the live stream I was also thinking he,s underpowered, but sometimes everything doesnt come together. Just push on!

Hi. I'm really enjoying your vids; It would be great if you could add some details about the wind (speed & direction) on these sessions, because I'd be fascinated to see how you match up to the sails/board size.

Great video Lucas, cool music, awesome job, keep up. I'm in El Medano as well, see you on the water

Tail tweaks looking nice !

hope you will come back and show us how it's done. cool video

Er, nice!

Good riding. Just do that

Sick sailing Lucas!

I love when you say : “classic: you think youre going downwind until you see the video!” Good to know that prolevel rider has the same problem as we do. It’s such a chocker every time I see footage of myself 😂

Salmonn is on another planet

Good luck in El Medano dude!

Really nice natural commentary. I've been baffled with this for a long time. It's really difficult to jump high. I've noticed Marino Gil has the best take-off. He does something during the ramp which allows him to go extremely high. On the other hand, after the ramp, during the ascending part I find Koster has the best wind utilization allowing him to gain significant height from the wind which not many people do. Just some important variables mentioned by Lucas and perhaps some to add. - Speed: the more the better - Angle of attack relative to wave: board facing completely the wave is ideal - Wave: height the more the better, steepness probably the more the better unless its about to break and makes a barrel. - Upwind/downwind angle relative to wind (across the wind is probably optimal, perhaps a smidgen downwind). That's why some people say lifting the rail up is also beneficial Board vertical angle during jump is probably best at around 80-85%, almost vertical but not quite. Also for backloops or any other types of rotations delaying the rotation is important so that kinetic energy is really squeezed into ascend. This takes away from rotational momentum later that's why excellent technique (obv not easy) is essential here.

Useful tips - thanks.

Very interesting talk. There is so many ways to do every manoeuvres in windsurfing depending on the shape of the tchop and you have to take a decision in less than 2 sec. Nothing is given in windsurfing.

Start using a hip harness. Convert a waist harness in 5 minutes with rope. Yes, rope. Dont listen to people who comment on private parts. Using Throchanter Mayor (google) for load transfer will free up your boyd, start sailing with your legs and jump a lot higher. Use alout longer lines and get those lines together. Use stiff lines in these lengths. Duotone or prefereably old orange North ones. Do not look at other pros's. Start thinking for yourselves. Enjoy.

Start using assymetric fotstrap settings. Riding in front, jumping to the back. The boards are better than you know.

I try to press the rigg down in the ark. So bodyweight actually gets height. The ark must be perfect. If the ark flattens just when you jump, go for a high forward instead. Be prepared. Have a plan.

Really helpful to hear these reflections from you, Lucas

Its linear. Divide and multipy.

Best setup video about windsurfing on youtube ! Thank you for sharing

Thanks Lucas. I am still a little puzzled on the fin setup. Are you using the front fins on the quad with an angle? And what is your experience with 0° and up to 2°… Thanks, Axel

Great advice. Id like to add its worth tayloring your quiver to your spot. Its tempting to go for full on wave gear when you might be better on freewave Inbetweener boards and sails. The waves only get decent in my spot when its 4-4.5 weather. So ive got a 4.0 super hero and 4.5 super session HD and a 5.0 super session. The super sessions are lighter and better in bump and jump. And the super heros are stronger but heavier for the bigger days ..

Great video. Thanks a lot. I have to say i was surprised to see you in the grip 3 in chile while it would be ideal conditions for the grip 4 in my idea. But I guess you have to make choices. I personally preferred when the grip had 5 fin boxes. As an intermediate user, I find it great to have the same board and play with the fins depending on where I go and also on my own improvement. I probably wouldn’t know which one to buy now and would choose another brand with 5 boxes. But it’s a personal choice. Also because I try to minimize the amount of gear I carry around. Cheers anyway. Thanks for the video

Great to see the next generation getting out there and showcasing windsurfing... top man Lucas 🤙

Really interesting, much smaller boards then I thought

Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🌊

Sharing waves and experience, i like this attitude ✌🏼

Awesome. Loved the detail and insight into you set up. Excellent work putting everything into context for your size and conditions you use them in.

Very useful video, thank you!

Really useful, especially on fin size and position + which conditions best suit thruster or quad set ups. Less fiddling with sail tuning is also interesting. Thanks Lucas!

Great advice! Yes a carbon skinny boom changes everything, and setting up the footstraps properly is so important. I prefer ~80% carbon content for masts - cheaper than 100%, and a more forgiving ride. Winds are a bit light where I (65kg) am, so my quiver is 3.7/4.2/5.0 on a 86L freewave (I also have an 81L wave board for really good days!).
