Session with Balz Muller

Balz Muller, ‪@radiculo‬ is one of the best wing foil riders on the planet. Today he brings us with him on a freestyle session in Gruissan, France. Wind was gusting over 45 knots that day so all the races were stopped at Defi Wind. Not windy enough to stop Balz from practicing his favorite freestyle moves wing foiling!

Love it! LOL The horrible timing of the syncro back flip with max had those people in the way! Still super fun and thanks.

[@floridafoilers]

Crazy wild, love it! 🙌🔥🔥🔥

[@bilbobiggens3206]

Just had to say Balz...thanks so much for the inspiration and your stoke is super infectious! I spent my earlier part of life living and breathing windsurfing, but have not been for 10 years +. However, I'm now coming into a time when I can indulge in hobbies again so will look into wing foiling for sure. All the best! Cheers

[@dannyvardanian]

That was a super fun session to watch. Balz is always having such a blast, and his enthusiasm and positivity is awesome. Blowing minds with insane antics, constantly setting the bar and inspiring with every move. It’s exciting to see how this sport is developing, and we’re blessed to be joining along for the ride. ‘Backflips are standard manoeuvres nowadays’😅 Well, we can nail The Catapult every time, that’s for sure! Thanks for sharing 🤲🏽

[@BrettWae]

I love this guys energy. Super talented rider! This is such an amazing sport! So many levels of riding, so many different styles, and its all good. It doesn't matter what your doing out there, from learning to cruising to insane back flips or whatever Balz was doing there haha. Great work Balz!!. All that matters is you getting out enjoying the time with friends, new friends, and the connection to nature this sport brings. It really is an amazing thing!

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Hi Damien, a big thank you for this immersive video like NEVER!!!! HUGE, I loved it. The sound is top - no harmful wind noise, did you equip Balz with a microphone and how, which model? And thank you again !!! Jive.

[@ArthurRosaTV]

It’s a Instamic Pro

I wish everyone shouted the name of their tricks mid jump. Cool dude

[@bushidoconectorgustavooliveira]

[@Saxofaxo]

are those landings softer than with windsurfing?

What kind of mike setup is used? I am amazed by the sound quality.

[@ThanosSofroniou]

What type of waterproof microphone is this?

[@dickiewongtk]

Seems like fun. How many hours of practice to master the basics?

[@krispewkrem3]

How is the audio so clear?!? My GoPro doesn’t even sound this good on a day with zero wind

[@dksurfer]

Real-time commentary is very cool.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@dhinny74]

Wow great video! What helmet is he wearing there?

[@manvbees]

Can i ask how you recorded the audio for this? 😁

[@zosterinski]

Could you use a twintip in those conditions ? (Maybe with a slightly larger wing)

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

For sure! Very windy!

[@julesbustin7023]

Which microphone are you using here?

[@nickisuess2932]

This is a great commercial for a Water proof, wind sustaining Microphone! Only we are still trying to figure out witch one you were using 🤷🏼‍♂️ Some claim it was the instamic pro, any other suggestions or recommendations? Great content and amazing energy Balz! 🎉 keep on smashing 🤙🏼

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

We use a custom one 🤓

Which mic did you use for this recording? It's so impressive that basically all wind noice is cancelled and your voice is crystal clear. I am seeking a good solution for communication with my friends on the water.

[@user-ke9yk5qp3u]

It's funny to watch people try to learn how to do the sport in relatively low wind conditions. It's absolutely miserable. This guy's attitude is wonderful and truly shows how the sport is evolving.

[@JoeDartV1]

God said it was funny to watch you learn to walk as well 🤙. He hopes you are less judgmental and less miserable towards others. Give it a go. I dare ya. Not so easy as it seems from your chair.

Is this looks fun?)

[@campeon]

no smooth sliding tricks possible.. thats missing

[@jamesmckenzie4572]

Balz, you are undoubtedly the man and you're right; you should (try to) stop using that word. I fact, everyone in watersports should (try to) refrain from using foul language on video for the fair promotion of the sport. If you want kids, the future of the sport, to come up with big cash for the gear you'd best please their parents, few of whom care to expose their little goldens to coarse language.
