Great great videos. Lots of "penny dropping" moments for me because you combine so well your super-clear explanations with multiple angle action shots. Top stuff, haven't found anything better. Thank you!

[@Cookiesports]

Thank you! 🤩🤩

[@ikbelnwindsurf]

Another brilliant explanation 👋

Hi cookie I love your videos! I actually go to vasalici every summer.

[@Cookiesports]

Great- pop into the Cosmos next time you’re there!

Nice video, I look forward to trying this out one day. If your up for suggestions, here are two videos I'd like to see someday 1. How much do things (planing, water starts etc.) change when you are heavier, as in as heavy as me at 107kg 195cm tall? Maybe strap on a weighted vest or something. 2. How to tell when your overpowered.

[@Cookiesports]

Thanks Jon! Are you platt of my Patreon group? I’ve actually done a “walk-along” session on exactly these points! Follow the links in the description and let me know what you think!

[@speedquestwindsurfing]

That's good stuff. Getting that back foot in can put you into a bit of a pickle.

Another great video! I hope i can surf someday in Vasiliki too 🤩 Could you maybe when you present your board and Rigg add how many knots there are? Would be very usefull :) for me as a beginner it`s sometimes hard to tell why i can`t planning. is it my technique... the sail too small or just not enough wind.

[@Cookiesports]

Hi! Yes, I’ll try to! I generally mention it somewhere in the video or the description- maybe I forgot to in this one! Thanks for watching though- hope you can make it to vass soon!

Great video! If you need an idea for new videos, I would grateful for a how to crash course. Last time we had really hard conditions (for me) gusts up 36 kn. I was sailing along and I was thinking how i'm gonna avoid the guy coming to me. I headed a bit downwind and a huge gust catapulted me through the sail, resulting huge tear on the sail. It would be great to know what to do to prevent damages in the equipment if a situation (catapulting, gybing) goes wrong. Thanks! Andrew

[@Cookiesports]

Thanks Andreas! I’m not sure I’ll be filming “how to crash” as such… not likely to develop on control and “how to STOP crashing!”… Have you seen this video? One of the first ones I did when I started this channel! Only top tip I’ll give on crashing though- keep hold of the boom! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqGkp6FsfKypp7c

Your videos are crazy helpful this one was the last key to get me really WS, planing along with both feet in the straps. Wondering if you have advice about weed? Of course I'm talking on the fins in lake/sea weed lol. At my local spot I'm really mowing the grass. Any changes in the rigging? Fin size vs a normal fin? Ive had issues tacking aftervswitching to a weed fin. What to do when you hit a clump etc

[@Cookiesports]

Thanks for watching, and glad they’re helping! Are you part of the Patreon group? We had a nice discussion about weed very recently!
