Defi Wind 2022 - Race 1 - full race video

Race 1 2022 - wind above 40knots with gusts reaching 50+ knots
I used JP 55 + NP Evo IX 4.8m + Chopper fin 29cm. I was overpowered during the full race. I was not fit enough (only 3 days windsurfing in 2022 before Defi) and I should have taken a 3.5m sail.
Jibing was impossible for me and to guarantee I would finish the race, I decided to do the tacks near the beach.
I finished this race on the 503th place even without going full speed at any time and taking a break on buoys 1 and 2. With the 3,5m sail I could have finished on the top 250.
Only now editing the video I discovered, that the battery finished 2 km before the finishing line,
Have fun! In 2023 we will be back again!
