Please a poll on the camera. I said it before. You are single handledly the youtube I've learnt the most from through the years. But the fisheye-camera makes it impossible to actually understand the different angles, stance and such. Actual speed is lost too.... Soo many things are lost. I wish You'd do "normal" lens camera (at least too...) sessions... With love from Denmark!!

[@Cookiesports]

I will mix up the views during the summer for sure…. But general feedback seems to be far in favour for the 360- allow me to show exactly what I want when I want- and can still make it a “classic” view when needed too- as in this video a bit. Thanks

[@matthewfairman9865]

Great to see you making new windsurf videos😊... Can I ask you about how to stop the harness riding up?... is there a good brand/design you would recommend?... Thanks

[@millenium7725]

brands normally don't matter but adjustable harness lines are always recommended

[@JoseLuisBlancoClaraco]

Same problem for a long time... switch to a seat harness, et voilá :-)

[@millenium7725]

Oh wow sorry i read the question wrong. Seat harness is alr and else a quality harness for example a neilpryde, i use an impact vest to stop the harness riding up

[@Cookiesports]

It’s not really the Frans or design… it’s how we use it. I’ve got a video coming out soon about POWER soon that’ll help.

[@tristanpetitpont7134]

Great to see you back ! Video on jumps on flat water and heli tacks would be great !

[@Cookiesports]

Thanks! Both on my “to film” list!

[@s3ksiakk]

Literally saw u yesterday 😂

[@Cookiesports]

I hope we said hi! 👋

[@lukasz3tabis]

Great to see you back on water!! Great movie, and how did you save that sit on water - that was really nice, I am big fan of that ;-) I am visiting Vassiliki tommorow :-D

[@Cookiesports]

See you on the water here soon! 🙌🙌

[@lukasz3tabis]

@@Cookiesports it would be nice to meet you ;-)

[@horsemadf1]

Good to see you're back. It didn't look windy until you bore off..😄 There mustn't be a big wind range as you were planing the whole time..in our gusty conditions you can be hanging on for grim death one sec then you have to get out of the harness and come in over the board the next..0-gusting 25kts plus

[@Cookiesports]

Trust me, there’s a huge wind range- but I rigged to stay powered up in the lulls- then mega stacked in the gusts! 🤣

[@horsemadf1]

@Cookiesports Some good tips. I get really wide with the hands. I instinctively do the front hand push when I'm mega overpowered but I have it close to the mast.

[@Cookiesports]

@@horsemadf1 mmmm... wide hands though, that makes in very physical and though to relax into it. Putting the front hand close to the mast makes it far less affective- be that pushing to get power on, or twitching it in to loose a bit of power- will be far more work when further forward.

[@horsemadf1]

@Cookiesports I knew you'd say that..😁 I'm still not back on the water. I've been doing dryland gybe practice with your pull it across after the flip and hands off and that's been working. A lot harder to do on the water though..🙄

[@Premed1981]

thanks for the video Cookie! How much do you weigh btw?

[@Cookiesports]

About 80kg 👍

[@lorenzobalzo9455]

Thanks, I like your contects . You'd speak a little bit slower for not mother language.

[@Cookiesports]

Glad I can help! Thanks 🙏
