How to WINDSURF FASTER than 55km/h 🚀 | Windsurf Tutorial

[@esteemspirit]

Thank you so much. I am going to try your recommendations on the water once I have the opportunity to deal with adequate wind

[@future_horizon]

This black sail looks awesome! Like on fire!

[@scaler04]

Wow echt geiles Video👌🔥 Vermisse etwas die lustigen leichten Video/Vlogs von damals, aber Qualitativ ist das hier natürlich weltenbesser. Freue mich auch sehr für dich, das sich dein Kanal so entwickelt hat. :D Meet you at the beach🤙

[@MarioKuempel]

Haha lustig leicht kommt auch wieder!😄 Auf deutsch kommt übrigens dieses Jahr noch einiges an content auf dem Wind Lounge Kanal.. :D aber danke dir fürs Feedback!

[@bob2787]

Well done video Mario.

[@FrancoisTCS]

3:06 to 3:53 superb stance, speed and images 🤙🏼🤙🏼 the board is flying, you were probably more than 30kts on this straight. One other quick fix you did not mention : put your front hand as far back as possible on the boom until you feel uncomfortable. @Mario, I would like to sail as high as you do, 30last cm of the board, but it looks like despite quick fixes and lots of hours on the water, my gear is stuck around 25-28kts. I’ll try to put the mast rearwards another 1cm or 2 next time.

[@thuressf]

Great video and the details about the slingshot is really helpful.

[@stevesummerfield1731]

Thanks Mario. Could you talk about sheeting angles as you use the slingshot please? I have a feeling I’m over sheeting at times…. Thanks again very useful video.

[@richardm9688]

Great action shots and tips for going faster! On a different note to windsurfing techniques, do you do anything about wetsuits and the different types you use for different conditions?

[@claudiajansen5904]

Well done! 😃

[@pouleriknielsen9145]

Great video, Mario. I am looking for a cheap and simple GPS waterspeed watch. The one You show in the video looks perfect for me. What is the name of it; price and where to get it?.

[@urmastiirik]

Great video! I also try to go faster so it is great if you talk about numbers and what to do to progress beyond a certain speed. I think I need to put mast backwards as I always feel there is power in sail that does not convert to speed. With small chop I have reached almost 48km/h. If you can please also put your speed to the videos. Would be nice to see like oh he is doing 50km/h in such a chop while having such board/sail and wind. One thing is going downwind and doing the speed run, but would be also nice to see what is the normal speed while just riding back and forth.

[@abelmeszaros1816]

What is the spot?

[@future_horizon]

A great and very informative video, Mario! Thanx !! Is windsurfing or windfoiling a better option to go fast / like 30 kts? (If the wind conditions were the same ..)

[@DrDance-ht8pn]

hi Mario hast du eine Empfehlung auf eine gute Grasfinne für die Boardgrösse und Breite, also fürs Slalom Brett in 68-70cm? Hab die X11 Bullweed, aber die ist irgendwie zu behäbig.... Vtl die MUF oder Select?

[@aleksanderwodkowski8965]

A perfect one, thx

[@ДмКр-з6с]

Hello there. As far as I understand you also should be able to rail your board to have minimum water resistanse, so you should fly on your fin. Is this right? How to train this part of riding? Thanks for the video. It is worth to try this slingshot:)

[@MarioKuempel]

Hi, yes you got it right. This railing happens almost automatically when your gear is tuned for flying.. :-)

[@linuso6404]

You need the right fin! The fin can generate lift (nose going up -> reducing dragging surface in the water). With a flexy fin you have a lot of lift, with a stiff fin you have little lift. Don‘t use a fin that is too big, you’ll have too much drag in the water. Use a fin that is big enough to prevent spin outs but small enough to not slow you down. Also thinner profiles are much faster than thick profiles. Just a very rough overview but it’s the most important information👍🏼 Do you have a carbon fin?

[@ДмКр-з6с]

@@linuso6404 yes I have carbon fin, Select Rhino 37 for 112 L Fanatic Falcon. I am actively riding on slalom equipment over 10 years. Do not think there is problem with fin ,it looks like problem is me, my technique. In one of the video Nils said he spent a lot of time and effort to learn how to rail the board properly so that is why I would like to understand where to start. Anyway all the other tips are also helpful.

[@linuso6404]

Mhh, i would suggest to try to not put too much weight on your heels when starting to plain. Also your stance is important, bend your backleg (also don‘t put too much weight on it) and stretch your front leg. It will make you go downwind more. And try to put your butt far out. I’m sure you know this, but just to remind: take a big enough sail! You need to be overpowered. But maybe Mario has some more advice

[@maikelvantures3660]

I did 31.49 knots on my JP magic freeride (2016) Point.7 ACZ 5.2 unifiber mast 70% fin 33cm. Weighing 73kg Going downwind in small chop is scary. 1 run i almost felt the board was really only in the water with the fin i was litarly flying. Second day crashed and broke the boom 😅 but lucky sail was okay. Gained some mussle 85kg so gonna try to get 40knots this year. With new board and sails ment for speed

[@schneller_finger]

Nice tutorial. When I did my frist speed runs on freerace equipment on our lake about 3 years ago I was immediately reaching 33kt. Since then I improved any aspect (gear and technique). I occasionally went slightly over 35kt. However, I have no idea how to go any faster than that ...

[@davemarch1811]

Nice video Mario. Im aiming for 35 knots now on my freerace gear. Do you not rail the board in a slingshot,? Thats only for more speed acrosswind?

[@MerijnKegel]

Speedies don’t rail the board ;-)

[@simongodfrey3765]

I see you have Select fins at WindLounge - aren't these too stiff to provide sufficient lift for top speed? I own a Select freerace fin and a Bugg slalom fin and there's a big difference in stiffness.

[@MarioKuempel]

Select fins are of course not the best, a Z or Carpenter is better, but also way more expensive. Selects are quite stiff, wich gives a lot of control, wich is actually not bad for speed. But you might need a bigger one for medium winds to get the lift you want. For pro slalom riders I would not recommend them, more for intermediate sailors!😄

[@AlmansorKerroum]

Could you please explain in your upcoming videos how to make 35kts with stock slalom equipment? I already went faster than 30kts but not faster than 31kts.

[@MarioKuempel]

Hahaha good idea! But the technique is the same as in this video. You need to do the slingshot!😄 What brand are you on?

[@AlmansorKerroum]

@@MarioKuempel Thanks, will try the slingshot. Likely, I did change course too much downwind when a gust is hitting. 36cm slalom fin, NP EVO 7,4 from 2021 and board prototype from 2015.

[@marctenhove874]

I always have the feeling that my front foot slips out of the footstrap (too loose) when I go +50km/h and that makes it a littlebit scary, especially when there's a lot of chop.

[@MarioKuempel]

That’s classic - your fin might not be optimal or Board and sail do not fit together perfectly. A little less downhaul and lower boom also might help!😊

[@thetakburger7928]

When I’m powered up sometimes my board suddenly would roll longitudinally, is it normal and I should learn to pull on my toes or is there some rigging issue?

[@linuso6404]

Roll longitudinally? Do you mean a nosedive? If your nose goes under the water as soon as your gaining speed, that’s a big issue. Not sure if I understood your problem though😅

[@thetakburger7928]

@@linuso6404 no, on the other axis. Like it’s suddenly going on the opposite rail of where your feets are

[@MarioKuempel]

This happens often when a fin is used that is too soft. Or is your board very narrow? It’s a rare issue actually..😅

[@thetakburger7928]

@@MarioKuempel I can totally see the fin being responsible indeed. Thank you !

Moin Mario! Das Speed fahren ist für mich kein Problem mehr, ich schaue eher aus Entertainment-Gründen😁 Ich wollte aber fragen, ob du mal ein Videos zu Halsen, speziell auf kleinem Slalom Material in viel und schnellem chop machen kannst. Mich zerreißt es da leider noch zu oft😂 kann man in Porto Liscia ab da stehen, wo man den Grund hell im Wasser sieht?

[@MarioKuempel]

Kann ich gerne mal machen - aber mich zerreißt es da leider auch immer..🤣🤙🏽 Ja man jann da stehen. 😊

i really struggle to go over the 50 km/h always stuck at 47 till 49km/h :), my gear is a 128/138ltr 2023 fanatic JAG with the original finish first fins (42cm, 45cm), sail is Duotone S-pace, with unifiber mast 70%, weighing around 103KG :) maby thats the problem... :\

Check the tracks of the fast guys. If you think you go downwind, you are only half way ;-))

Why do we say slingshot and try to make it sound complicated, it’s just bearing away

[@MarioKuempel]

Because it’s not just bearing away. It’s like saying why do we call it jibe, it’s just turning around..😅

[@beninstone1824]

Jibe is specific to which way around you go so it has more meaning than just turning around. As far as I can see slingshot is just bearing away. What is the difference?
