I know what will be the next topic that everyone will want to know. What is the difference between foil and fins sails?Jhon Sukos drives with fins sails in the races and has no problem.

So sweet. Nice tutorial for riders with a boards wide like a palace door. Now try foil tacking with a 92 liter freestyle foil board. Took me 3 months (but maybe I'm not talented ;))) What I've leard doing it? Go to heli foil tack immediately. It's my basic upwind maneuver today. OK - my biggest sail is a 4.8 and I'm riding it down to 8kn (thx Balz and Rob). But thx anyway, those clips inspire riders to move forward!

Thanks Michelle! Even if for dummies, could you do a video explaining the differences of ifca in comparison to the pwa and others?

Località!?!?!?.... Knots Wind !?!?!?.... Board!?!?! ....Sails !?!?.... bho? Mha?🤢

Wow!!!

Finally i meet Mario Krumpel’s biggger brother. 😂

Great video. Will you do the Ifca fin worlds in Denmark this September?

4:25 The beginning of noble windsurfing :)

Thank you very much for the insights into the racing circus that you don't usually get if you're not there. Great shots, great vibe oh yes and your collar has something royal about it =)

Great video - your girlfriend did a nice job filling in. And congratulations on your 3rd place!!

How do you keep your harnesslines from wobbling on the boom? yours look so solid whilst my patrik lines wiggle all over the place.

Awesome video as always!!!! We are currently waiting on the arrival of our new patrik gear here in Uruguay, so be ready for some questions of the new sails and aeon foils hehehe!!!. Best of luck in the PWA and keep up the awesome work on the videos.

Which side Major foil angle Starboard or port?

You just simply can't open the velcro when pushing the foot in to the foot strap....

The straps are turned around so that the logo isn’t upside down when you are recording on your head cam 🤙

Hi, would you please explain how you shim the foil to get the right rake. I read that now you have to put the shims under the back screw?? Thanks!

Less drag from open slot on the bootstrap when it is facing backwards

The straps to habe the better feeling on the feets, it is also easier to go in

The straps are to prevent wounds on your feet maybe?

Could it be for filming.. on board cam and the angle is good?

with inside strap is more difficult to get "catapulted"

Das glitzert ja voll ✨

Looks very spacy

Same as other guys, because the is no way to open the velcro accidently eith your foot if the logos are pointing inward

Considering straps - It should be a bit easier to adjust them in the water- you just pull the cover to open.

Hi there. I think I know the answer, you don't want to get stuck with your toes in the velcro, while trying to get into the straps. I got the ion saftey-straps and I accidently opened the velcro on my straps doing that.

Hello Could you please give the make of your neck protection and tell me in what video you talked about it. I can't find it and I know it exists. THANK YOU 😊

Hello! Not a pro at all, here are my findings anyways, about Starboard 177 race board and race foil from the pre-IQ era. In the original condition it was very scary to fly since the nose was pointing downwards ready to hit a chop. I checked the rake, it was 0.6 degrees. Our local forum said I needed 1.6-1.9 rake. After I added a self made shim (cutted it from a piece of linoleum) the rake became 1.4 degrees. It was night and day, but the head of the foil mast was not that tight now. Then I grinded away some material from the head, about the shim's thicknes at the rear and 0 at front. Marked the sloping line carefully, and also added sort of a clamp as a limiter for the process. Now the head is tight, but still touching the well bottom, and the rake is 1.7-1.8 degrees. I am still using this setup after several years, very satisfied, the flight hight is steady in the gusts, but maybe still wanting to go downwards just a bit. Back to the video, 3 degrees, wow, I wish I saw it before, I'll try some more rake, thanks! Also, why starboard does not make the gear with the optimal setup from the beginning? Shims are not good because they make the head loose, and grinding the mast head by customers, that is not right. I wonder if I am alone who has risked the grinding.

Great explanation! Thanks ❤

Wahrscheinlich nur zweimal geimpft

You do so well. 🎉🎉🎉 looking forward for 2024😊

🤙Hi klare Entscheidung, nur noch Foil durch die PWA Trennung von Fin und Foil, Top Danke das dachte ich mir schon es muss für jeden Rider ein Focus gefunden werden. Für mich als Zuschauer begrüße ich das, da ich ein Fin Fan bin und kann nun wieder reine Fin Races sehen🤣🤣🤣

Wow. Gunsails are competitive. I like the price of those sails but i dont know if they are good or no :D

Great rundown and have to say great coverage from PWA Racing and beating Goyard for 30s… what foils where you guys on? 360 vs 550??

Cooles Studio

Very nice comments, perfectly reflecting feeling, ., especially when they fully match with those I’ve experienced too (that’s what we live and race for))

Dude you are awesome!! Keep up the training and the videos, you will kill it next season in the PWA!!!!!

Great video, I enjoyed following you all season - what a breakout year for you! I admire your humility and good sportsmanship. Best of luck for next season. Keep those videos coming, I especially enjoy when you share about your equipment and set up - what you like and why. Tuning and technique is always interesting - can't get enough!

Hej Michelle, my friend! Congrats to this impressive season, all the best for 2024!!!

Maschineeeee!

It was so cool to follow you throughout the last year. Hope to hear you again on the Podcast with Ben! I wish you all the best for the new Season!!!

From unkown "zero" to hero - first year PWA and fifth place overall! I wish you a good winter training and a even better new saison. Please make some technique videos, too. There are so many things we would like to ask regarding trimm and settings of your material.

An Epic season for you. The best scene you made was the catapult you got on such a huge swell. It was tremendous.

Moin Michele

Very interesting video! Interesting that you have the boom on the lower side. I would like a video about trimming during sailing (how you use the outhaul etc)

Nice video. All the best

We'll done Michele. In the beginning of the season you were afraid not to be able to join the whole trip. And now, not only joint all the races but more than competative. With this experience and a little luck, podia next year? Mary X-mas and an outstanding 2024
