Fins are what most windsurfers do, so slalom X is something we can relate to. Watching it is extremely fun! Keep going!

[@bob2787]

Nico seems like your burning the candle at both ends! Giving 100% on the water AND doing these videos during and after races. Respect. Don't let yourself burn out. Also great editing Lars, the silent partner in the shadows.

[@Nokom1965]

This is probably one of the most fun Slalom races I have seen! The drone thing bring us all closer to all this amazing action, just like downhill skiing!

[@Filip-cb6zf]

Hi Nico! Slalom X is absolutely great to watch!! Fin RULEZZ!! Love to see boards flying on fin!!!

[@windsurfer]

All the Ladies and Gents in the Slalom X are heroes. Looks super physical. Thanks for entertaining us!

[@icywiii]

Slalom X looking amazing ! Finn is back strong 💪

[@bertnijhof882]

Nico! And Ben!! Awesome windsurfing and reporting, lets make windsurfing as big as in the 80’s again! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@reneruijgrok8066]

only true heroes can master these winds and waves like you guys do. Well done to all the riders out there. Beautiful footage. You guys set a new definition of how windsurfing is supposed to be done. Sets a new standard for all of us…..

[@RooSpeedsailor]

Bump and jump, rock and roll, windsurfing has got the X factor. This is what slalom used to be and has come back to life. Great work Nico and the PWA. Would be great for all competitors to have GPS trackers so we can see how fast the best in the world are. Sailors seem to be loving it, mega action and thanks for bringing excitement back to the sport. Would love to see you guys do this in the Gorge.

[@rm9343]

I'm watching this and constantly thinking that you need to give yourself more credit for your performance. Look at the final section where you comment on how disappointed you are to get your best result so far, then Jordy is clearly so pleased and happy to be improving. You need a bit more of that. And when you won your semi, Ben Profit was saying "This will give him confidence" but you were totally down on yourself (!). Take some time to congratulate yourself. All these people are watching these videos and rooting for you - give yourself some credit! Embrace the positive spirit and get a bit more joy from what you're achieving.

[@adbouwens1111]

Fantastic to see the windsurfers on their fins. This is why surfing is so much fun: blasting, carving, jumping, planing and jibing.

[@wackerburg]

I agree 100%!

[@jeroenhaverkamp7939]

excellent stuff, jibing, jumping and going fast. This is what windsurfing is about. Go Nico

[@FrankvanVoorthuizen]

I hope slalom-x is here to stay. So fun to watch!

[@gert-jantegronde]

Nice wrap-up! Slalom X, that's what we weekend warriors want to see. Super format!

[@apostolosathinaios1620]

Huge respect to you Nico and to all the competitors! Slalom X format is amazing!

[@dveziris]

Slalom X is really interesting and i hope it will boost the sport. I would really like to see an upwind section as a feature on the race. Best of fun to all there!

[@Luigi-xy6gs]

Amazing format slalom x ,hard core slalom love it, can't stop to watch💪🤙

[@tobiasrudorf6349]

Slalom x is the most fun I had watching windsurfing competitions in a long time. Kopf hoch Nico, you’re doing great 😃🤙🏻

[@tahfiet]

Slalom X looks like it brings back what fin racing was missing the last couple of years. Great videos by the way

[@martinwilliamson4263]

Great show. Sailing really well and a full win will happen. Keep going

[@RobGoris123]

This is great reporting, and it’s fantastic to see that fin racing is back, just like in the old days. It’s that magical combination of skill, strength, guts and a bit of luck that makes it so rewarding to watch. Drone footage is the icing on the cake. Are we ready to make windsurfing “sellable” again?

[@momod27]

Great to see full power Fin Action!

[@jeroenhessel7535]

Love the action, chearing for you here at home Nico. 🤙

[@ukaszzieba5500]

Great to see ,slalom X 💪

[@matthias6439]

Don't be too hard on yourself for not getting quite the result you were working for. I'm in my 20th year of every hobby surfer's life long goal to complete a powerjibe - and still far from it :) To all of us you are a great inspiration. Thank you so much for making Windsurfing big again and the great entertainment!

[@francoisf195]

You were really unlucky of those heats, so bad! I hope luck will be more with you next days! Thanks for the video!

[@adamsmits-i6o]

Nico - fully respect the competitive spirit…you’re going what you love enjoy it - it's a rare privilege and keep the footage coming !

[@hamster696]

Exciting or what? The drone brings it all in your face. Almost get my feet wet. Great commentary from Ben as well. Keep it up . Love it!! Hope it’s still blowing over here in Fuerte when you come.

[@tompaesmans]

Seems like slalom-x is there to stay... it was great to watch this race report, so keep up the good work !!

[@carstenjudick9857]

I understand your disappointment ... that is Sport if you are ambitious (which you are to the bone🙂!). So close that chapter, look at what you achieved and focus on today! Good luck for it! Keep rocking!! (Again great and super fast Video Editing!!!!)

[@xsurfer2008]

The level of all the sailors has been impressive in these conditions, they have all given their best in talent, physically and mentally. Controlling the board at that speed in these conditions requires incredible concentration, just a simple chop can ruin the race. Great sport, great competition and a great show.

[@wsurfn]

These edits are really good. You guys are killing it.

[@ZipPeLschen]

Slalom X is fkng awesome to watch!!! Hope it will stay and u also had fun 😎🤙🏼 Thanks for the content ❤

[@LukeRobinson-q3d]

Love it. Very entertaining.

[@PaulMarynchev]

Great stuff! Loving the new format, good luck and thanks for putting these videos together!

[@RIBARIBIFISHINGSTORE]

This is much more interesting than the normal slalom in terms of attractiveness and the ability and endurance of the driver. This is 100% fun+ drone footage is brutal to watch!

[@remcodevre829]

Slalom X is great! Go Nico! 🔥🤙

[@jeffcondell]

Great coverage!

[@simongodfrey3765]

Cedric Bordes - "I don't think anymore, I just go!". Perfect comment from Cedric. Nico, you've had a lot of bad luck in those semi finals, but that head-to-head win over Jordi Vonk was absolutely fantastic and again in the semi final win - you really showed what you can do! Bravo my friend!

[@Leander1404]

Finally daily recaps again🤩🔥

[@matsaake]

thank you Nico for your comments and genuine feelings directly related to the competitions - great job!

[@BeniaminoFerrando]

Amazing as always Nico!!

[@nadavzandani9396]

Its really nice to see only fin races again!

[@giuliobrancaccio3882]

That's fantastic! Slalom X new formula it's really funny and requires a Lot of skill for the riders. Hope to see more video like this, keep going

[@stephanweber2470]

Schönes Video! Wirklich mitreißend. Viel Erfolg für morgen!

[@henrilc1726]

so nice to see that the fame of the windsurf is back !

[@timcairns7672]

Loving the athletes at 100%. Fin PWA slalom equipment is the capstone of my summer exercise efforts!

[@fischlifischer6192]

Love this series. Its my motivation to get back on the board after a longer break :D

[@saz6122]

Pozo Slalom X is the best competition seen for a long time. The wave riders also so much fun to watch. 🤩🤩 Thanks Ben, Nico, Alfie + Johannes for the great footage. ❤

[@bechjg]

WoW! Love to have all the news on the tour! Very good job Nico!

[@lindrotapojken]

You guys did it again as always, amazing! thank you. I watch the whole live yesterday but was still glued to your video. I love the before and after race chats at the beach, it really gives us guys at home a chans to know the riders a little bit better. 6:30 the chat between Maciek and Matteo and your summary 12:00 that is absolute GOLD, the emotions really goes thru the screen! thanks for the great work and effort.

[@LudvikBrækken]

I love your videos. 😊😊

[@alfovebraseth]

Very good to see you in the A final in the last race Nico after having some unfortunate earlier events . Thanks for the very good video

[@der-heik]

Go, Nico! 💪🤙

[@tuurvandenbroeck1230]

This is the end of the foil.😂 FIN Army!!🤙

[@thomasbohn5034]

Incredible action! You are definitely in the mix. Hang in there. I’m predicting more cardio workouts in your future 😂

[@Nico_GER7]

Cardio workouts don’t help that much. I do interval training. You simply can’t simulate it. Just gotta get those hours in strong wind on the water.

[@thomasbohn5034]

@@Nico_GER7 I agree. I was teasing a little😁 I work hard to stay in shape to keep doing this sport in my 50’s. Interval training with a heavy focus on core stability has helped me immensely. With all that travel maintaining a training regime must be challenging.

[@murphyflynn6471]

that was insane action. what a workout to even complete a single race, let alone several a day! super fun to watch!

[@borasenturk-eb3lf]

Love the action man keep up the good work ❤

[@ordinaryswedishwindsurfer]

must say, the recaps from you,pwa and ben is outstanding! so much effort to make this great and for sure it is!

[@iBen4G]

Full power fin racing!! 🔥

[@SuperFlo8888]

@Nico: you did the wonderful job in this event 👍

[@marcelgoverde9781]

Really cool format! Thanks for making these videos 🎉

[@t0masm161]

Thanks for the amazing video! Good luck in the following races!

[@wind-surfer]

👍Good luck Nico.

[@antoinehanekom4689]

Nico, Mega respect from a fellow windsurfer. I feel out of breath just watching you race. Good luck does favour the brave. Let it all hang out on the next one.

[@RasmusTeir]

Great work, really appreciate your efforts with these videos! Nico, your A-final material, tough luck on some of the races! Slalom X is fun to watch!

[@hoegger77]

cool video, thanks for the coverage! the sausage thing is cool :D

[@bernardocastanon5469]

thank you Nico for bringing this content. I would not have heard of this sport or this competition format otherwise

[@antemustac1673]

Great reports, there should be more inside informations like these🙌🤙

[@davemarch1811]

Thanks for sharing Nico and lars! So much more exciting to watch than foil! Well done, recover well! 👏

[@timmarshall849]

Looking solid Nico! You won’t be taken out by other sailors in every race - your speed will land you in the A finals! Love your videos, and to the PWA great job on the Slalom X - so exciting to watch!! 🎉

[@ArkaosM]

I really enjoy the new format, fins are much more fun to watch race but the jumps etc make it much more exciting and engaging in my opinion. I’m also interested in seeing if it impacts gear production in the next couple years

[@postiebren]

Great behind the scenes view! Loving Slalom X! Fins forever 🙂

[@u1kswag301]

love the content

[@23vincent23]

SlalomX is quite cool. Looking forward to more like this!

[@maximemeyer17]

so good to see the fins again on this new pwa format !!

[@senseiAna]

Great Format, can't wait to see you tomorrow

[@bertramhasseriisdietz3662]

its really interesting to see racing on such a unique track, keep up the good work !

[@haukee.4000]

The jumps are looking super sick🤩

[@davidlolli4854]

Slalom x Is great ,well done

[@willemg6789]

Love the fin action, had more fun watching the past two days then 2 seasons of Formula 1 combined 😀 Love seeing the Defi experience coaches in action! Proud member of Team Femke!

[@ridetheliger4176]

Thank you for the content!

[@derluke1]

Slalom X is so great to watch, really cool with the chicane. I like it.

[@Werner-Verv]

Great job Nico! Lots of respect for you guys 💪🙏 really great content and explanations. Gives a bit of an inside. 👊🏼

[@dampchimp]

So good, best ever footage and great racing . Mixing it up with different race formats keeps the viewing entertaining. Nico, thanks for the post race honest reports, even when hurting.

[@marius2653]

As usual amazing daily recaps ! Love the explanations of the heats and the new Slalom X races 🤩

[@markoconnor680]

👍That 1st phase of the Windsurfing actions from the Canaries was delightful to watch and the commentary throughout the same had a smile on my face also. I just wish that I was there myself and competing in the same event myself.

[@Tetedeneud]

I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing and great editing. Love the Slalom X format.

[@alikhattab4376]

Crazy sick 🤙

[@ozzifafapiti4147]

I like it, really much. Excellent video with your reactions straight after the race. We are here with you, good feeling.

[@Marty-q7m]

Great job Lars and Nico, and good luck for the next races!✌

[@ARMerKOT]

love the action, and the short interviews with the other ryders. Feat. Taty again he's so funny

[@ivogarza9339]

Nothing like windsurfing in 30+ winds. Sausage jump is fun to watch, just don't get the tricks ahead of the speed. Bring back memories of sailing in smoke on the water to this oldster.

[@TheJF03]

Enjoying again watching the action with all boys and girls on fins…and totally amazed by your speed at the first reach considering the chop and swell 😱🤙🏻

[@blacklabelsurfing]

Viva Nico, viva Pozo!

[@speon]

Send it! The slalom x course looks awesome! Diggin the daily vids

[@TRUMP2four]

Ger7 🎉 you had an amazing event. Stay mentally strong and keep pushing. Thats what windsurfing is all about, great fast racing in conditions with NO foils!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@joergg.2376]

So entertaining. Olympics like that would be cool

[@Tobias1949]

Also in this competition you have proven once again that you can bring the good results in! You are going to be in the A finals again, I am sure of that. Until then much respect that you keep the motivation up to make those videos here. I appreciate that

[@sebprouvost]

🔥🔥🔥 That's what we were waiting for ! What a show... Really nice & exciting video!
