An extremely tough slalom racing day in El Medano! - Rytis Vlog 42

[@bob2787]

That move that Enrico did was SICK!!!! Talk about threading the needle!!!! Great action keep them coming. Rytis loved the action, well done.

[@RYTISJAS]

For sure - he went for it!!!

[@daveii20]

That slomo at 4:50 is killing, instant surf vibes!

[@RYTISJAS]

I was so close to a massive crash there!!! I was surprised that I managed to control and land that accidental jump.

[@Deathshredder]

Quality video again - thanks you. That start though - boom perfect timing!

[@RYTISJAS]

Yeah, I was super happy for that start!

[@steven_windsurf_nl]

Sick action! Thanks for sharing.

[@RYTISJAS]

glad you like it!

[@keytes]

Wow those boards were flying. I can think of some people who would have protested in a race the moves by two sailors at 4.20 coming from windward side across your bow. I note though you didn't take your foot off the accelerator :)

[@borajosef7482]

Nice music perfect star cool vidio great job o and love the boards

[@RYTISJAS]

Awesome 👍👍 yes, the boards are great

[@dengordo]

So close! 4:20 And Enrico called you crazy? 6:06 nice start!

[@RYTISJAS]

Hahaha - it is tight racing. So yeah it was a bit close, but all good :)

[@enricomarotti334]

I don't see a problem :D :D :D :D

[@RYTISJAS]

@@enricomarotti334 hahaha

[@mcorlan]

Congrats for the new sponsors and for the great training sessions. Talking about new stuff, when are you going to share your thoughts on the new sails?

[@RYTISJAS]

Soon - just want to test and understand them more myself!

[@theaveragecarguy770]

Great content as always! Keep it up! 💪💪

[@RYTISJAS]

Cheers mate!

[@galensk]

Nice and sick 👍👍🤛, looks like it was a real challenge to not let the nose “take off”, due to chop. Anymore trim posibilities with the sails ?

[@RYTISJAS]

It is a balance between pushing the nose down - and not letting it fly away and having the board stuck to the water and slow.

[@eliasholmgren8905]

Very great content in your videos. Looking forward to the next one. What sail size do you use in these conditions?

[@RYTISJAS]

It was not super windy (around 20-25 knots maybe - just crazy choppy. I was using 117 Dark Horse from Future Fly and 7.1 AC-One point-7

[@ScrattleGG]

waow that was close! Solid start later in the video. Did you finish good too?

[@RYTISJAS]

Tbh honest I can't remember, but in the past weeks I had a few heats were I finished 2nd or 3rd.

[@ScrattleGG]

@@RYTISJAS nice. Good speed. Thanks for keeping me entertained. It is -5 here so rare I get out

[@theopeter8346]

hey man, love your videos. please keep going, otherviese i wouldnt know how to survieve the winter haha. unfortunalte there must be a problem with your sound of the microphone, it was already in your last video...at first i though it is my pc or mobile but at different viedos it is not. have a great week

[@RYTISJAS]

Thanks mate - will try to go behind a corner to get a shadow from the wind next time :)

[@jantheman334]

Great action👌....holy...so close before crashing with CRO401...how is the feeling on your new gear?

[@RYTISJAS]

Great! I still need to test the sails a bit more since I got them recently, but the boards I love. my favorites so far are the Flying Camel 187 and Dark Horse 97. I feel they really helped me to push it to the next level.

[@jantheman334]

Nice to hear, the FF boards must be really rockets and also flying camels of course😂 . I hope it will lift you up to the next level, if there is still a next level...you will hopefully show us😆

[@klaaswientjes3184]

love the action shots, don't be like Nico

[@fonsvandenhove]

I assume you were on the 61, correct? Perhaps someone can share a Google-doc or Excel template for logging gear-settings?

[@RYTISJAS]

The board was actually the Dark Horse 117 so 72.5cm wide.

[@fonsvandenhove]

@@RYTISJAS , oops, my fault: didn't do my research. Excellent video as always!

[@RYTISJAS]

@@fonsvandenhove Thanks Fons!

[@Floatnride]

love watching this perspective. Any tips you can provide for running on chop and keeping control.

[@RYTISJAS]

Your legs need to work like shock absorbers - sometimes I end up doing a full squat (while hooked in and pushing full speed) just to absorb the chop. And also Future Fly boards (the 117 and 97 especially) are really easy over the chop.
