I was planning on flying back to Ireland with some of my gear for a two week break but I live in the Netherlands and Schipol airport is a nightmare and I was afraid of getting stuck and missing flights. So, I cancelled my flight and car rental. I am now driving from Den Haag to Calais. Boat from Calais to Dover. Drive Dover to Holyhead and boat to Dublin. Then another 3.5 hr drive to the west of Ireland. All in all, should be 14hours driving and 5 hours on the boats. There better be some bloody wind…..

Just been there. Actually it’s also a windsurf station;) They even have some Point-7 sails;)

Viel Spaß. Sotavento kenne ich noch aus den 80ern als Pascal Maka da zum ersten Mal über 72 km/h als Weltrekord speedgesurft ist. Heute machst Du 72 km/h zum Aufwärmen 🚀🚀🚀

[@christopherbroers167]

Good Luck Nils!

[@nigelparker5886]

Is that a rescue Jet-ski I saw there!? None of that in the early 90’s , we were told at Sotovento/Jandia that next stop was Africa! Good fun there but didn’t compare with El Cotillio on a big blow day! Cheers

The colour of the water is unreal 😍 awesome footage and very entertaining description of your travel struggles 😉 fingers crossed for the Worldcup! 🤞🤞

Hi. Have they finaly done something? I have sailed today at Matas Blancas.

[@kev-the-windsurfer.]

This looks like a nice place to do some speed sailing for sure....How warm was the water? Beautiful weather!!

[@WindsurfingNils]

I don't know, but warm enough for board shorts windsurfing ;)

[@gossevisser7852]

Nice video Nils, I was wondering after you had some crashes with the AV Boards in the beginning what setting (footstraps and mastfoot) you use now on the AV62 and the AV72? I noticed most guys (and myself) have a relative neutral setting on the AV's.

[@WindsurfingNils]

I put the backfootstrap all the way back and the front bootstrap all the way to the front, that gives me really good control over the board, for the mast foot position I leave about 2-3cm room to the back of the mast track, so quite far ack, however on the AV's I like to put them a bit more forward then on the Fanatics I used to sail up to last year, might actually make a video about that

Ein Mekka für Speedsurfer

Lets go!

[@windsurfer_brouwersdam5462]

Why aren't you using the point7 boom?

[@AliasAIX]

move to fuerte,,,ich mach das bald aber ich hab noch kein material ahhh

[@frontloop71]

ganz im süden der insel gibts glaub auch speedspots, frag mal andy laufer

[@WindsurfingNils]

das ist der Spot der ursprünglich für die WM vorhergesehen war, "Las Salinas", da hatte sich die Politik dann aber gegen einen Start an dem Spot quergestellt...

[@frontloop71]

@@WindsurfingNils da waren wir mit dem Auto, wir hatten echt Angst, dass es uns von der Strasse runterbläst

[@tacxitforcegamefreakz2794]

ahhhh niils ich will auch ich schwöre wen ich bis 30 nich einmal am meer wahr wander ich einfach aus fuck off würd ich meinen

[@WindsurfingNils]

let's go ;)

[@erikfriedel]

Plenty of time now to ask your bank for a credit card. You have 60 kg of gear but no plastic? That's adventurous!

[@WindsurfingNils]

I noticed my mistake ;) can't travel around with cash only anymore unfortunately :/

[@alexiswindsurf6403]

👍👍👍

[@jamoni082]

sau cool

[@ernstmathijssen033]

Dude, the hair; not very aerodynamic anymore.. might cost you 0.03kts 😉 just kidding. Hope the championships can take place🤞🤞. The best of luck on getting a good result!!

[@afd3206]

and....the event is now cancelled :((

[@Floatnride]

Omg I feel your pain with the airport and car hire. I think world travel has forgotten what to do. Glad you got on the water.

[@WindsurfingNils]

partly my own fault, I order a Credit Card now ;)
