Defiwind 2019 1st race | 1ère manche | 1. Rennen | Andy Laufer Gopro Hero7black POV (HD)

Medium winds between 10-25kn. Super nice to race with 1.200 motivated competitors from 62 countries. Setup JP Slalom 62 / Neil Pryde EVOXI 7.0 and Lorch Nolo 33.5 cm. Super fast but got stuck in a wind hole right in the middle of the race. But finished 16th place wich is ok. Had great fights with some of the top PWA guys. Looots of fun but very exhausting! Can't go full speed throughout the whole race.

Thanks for taking us along Andy. Very cool footage! You hit speeds very few of us will ever see. Please keep making these videos!!!!

[@AndyLaufer]

thanks bob

[@joealphons5772]

Few of us will ever see? Are you kidding me? Big sail and good wind and off you go. He isn't riding in an a SR-71 mate, get a grip

[@kitersrefuge7353]

Wow! Thanks for the footage Andy. As an ex windsfurfer (i kite) it looked really knarly crossing paths with slower sailers. I wonder if anyone ever got carved up in an accident...I would not be surprised. Well done, that was a hell of a sail you did there.

[@AndyLaufer]

thanks a lot!

Awesome.

Good start

[@insaiyanbass3722]

Alle hinter dir gelassen so geil hahaha😂🔥

[@kizzmiazzz]

Jo, vor allem beim Start. An der ersten Jibe waren die, die ganz unten gestartet sind dann leider schon weit weg. Der Kurs dicht am Strand war auf jeden Fall die falsche Wahl auf dem Hinweg. Der Speed ist teilweise aber echt unmenschlich, Andy lässt Vollprofis stehen als würden sie mit der Finne im Sand stecken.. Wahnsinn :)

[@ryangorbachev9442]

thanks for the vid , you make it look easy

[@AndyLaufer]

thanks Ryan

[@WindsurfingNelson]

Feels like being there with you. Very exciting to watch! Thank you Andy. How long do you think it took for the complete course? Weiter so!

[@AndyLaufer]

about 40 Minutes... thanks mate!

[@uglybirds70]

[@BillBradstreet]

Nice race! I'd love to see the full, unedited footage!!

[@AndyLaufer]

its a bit foggy, too much dust in the air :)

[@BillBradstreet]

@@AndyLaufer I switched to using a Rylo which requires a case. I've seen fog issues as well. That's one thing I prefer about the new caseless GoPro models.

👍 👍 👍

[@flemmingpahavet7297]

Ich mag deine Beiträge, und insbesondre diesen, denn man ist quasi mit auf dem Board bei der Regatta. Diene Lösung mit zwei Kameras auf dem Helm, eins nach vorne und eins nach hinten, ist gelungen, denn die Sequenzen nach hinten geben einen guten Eindruck von diener Lage nach dem Start, oder bei den Bojen Umrundungen. Sehr informativ. Wie erwähnt, fast wie mit auf dem Board zu sein. Mach weiter…. Toll wäre wenn die Aufnahmen in 4K wären, denn dies würde das Erlebnis nochmals steigern. Da müste aber die Infrastruktur vor Ort stimmen.

[@AndyLaufer]

Hi Hav, vielen Dank für Dein Feedback, freut mich sehr. In der 4K Einstellung gibt es leider nicht den Superview Mode, deshalb aktuell "nur" in HD. Ich denke, dass Gopro diesbezüglich aber noch nachrüsten wird. Aloha Andy

[@flemmingpahavet7297]

Grüẞ Gott Andy. Ich muẞ gestehen, daẞ ich es nicht unterlassen kann dieses Video ab und zu laufen zu lassen, obwohl ich es schon mehrmals gesehen habe. Denn ich finde es einfach TOP. Die letzten Minuten vor dem Start, der Regattastart an sich, die wiederkehrende Sicht nach hinten, das Wahnsinnstempo und die Bojenumrundungen. Alles stimmt.

[@rommandenissov9371]

Зачетно так втопил.

[@MK-gi5tb]

Just amazing. What is the size of your sail and board?

[@AndyLaufer]

thanks! that was a 6.4 and a 62 wide board. cheers

[@MK-gi5tb]

OMG 62!? That's so small. I've never tryed boards under 90 :)

[@WindsurfingParadise]

Nice !!! Did you put your go pro in a box ??? because there's fog !!!! Maybe the salt ?????

[@AndyLaufer]

no happens sometimes if there s too much spray :) need whipers...

[@CroLarus]

did you try to spit on glass or lick it before usage? sometimes it helps... Great to see with original sound, great run!

[@WindsurfingParadise]

I put some RAIN X on the glass.@@AndyLaufer

Was war deine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit?

[@Caspar448]

What placing did you get Andy

[@AndyLaufer]

16th, started too far up the field and sailed in some windholes... but was ok. speed is good :)

[@Caspar448]

@@AndyLaufer Maybe you should had pick a sail size bigger

[@guglielmomarcantonitaddei4706]

Wait...what am i seeing at 6:20?? A foil, that's for sure, but what about the sail?

[@NVGTO]

I know!! There's actually a video about those things here on YT, it's a Naish invention like a kite...let me see if I can find that video for you...

[@NVGTO]

Got it!! It's called a wing-surfer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4LKe6imlraomLc

[@guglielmomarcantonitaddei4706]

@@NVGTO thank you!

[@j00mi]

its called wing surfing or Wing SUP foiling

dude just waiting for the front of his board to catch a gust of wind and he would take off into space

[@wjlavery]

Amazing video! What was your top speed?

[@AndyLaufer]

thanks, in this race about 39.8 topspeed. cheers

[@SoaringMidlo]

@@AndyLaufer Knots?!? damn that was fast. that flat water looked sweet. good job dodging the holiday crowd.

[@AndyLaufer]

@@SoaringMidlo of course knots :) see u on the water 💦

[@rommandenissov9371]

Всех сделал😊

[@albrechtlutter539]

I thought you were the last Rambo on earth. But wait, there are 1200 other ones. ...How many brutal crashs were there between Surfers in opposite direction?? I know everybody is high concentrated but this can be very serious...but i have to say it looks awesome

[@valentinasmuen6763]

Where was the race?

[@AndyLaufer]

in Gruissan, France

[@josephhagen4493]

Did you win?

[@AndyLaufer]

I wish :) speed was good but not fit enough

[@AdiAsaf]

Fcuk. How fast that is?

[@Caspar448]

Maybe you raise The boom For more power And Speed Performance

[@AndyLaufer]

no, just needed 7.8 :)
