Ben, your energy is 4 times more contageous than C19 😅 This is such a positive and mood-boosting video. The place looks totally amazing. Want to visit. And want to have the activity week with Ben.

[@pero1248]

This is a fantastic place for windsurfing. I stay Last year for a week in the Feelviana. And i come definitely back, for great sessions. Enjoy your time. this is a amazing video of this place.

[@hangloose1778]

well done Ben. Windsurfing fan since my birth.

[@rus_arab_coop]

this video is making my evening much better

[@TRUMP2four]

Big Ben whyyyyyyy do you continuously make me jealous??? Lololol....dangggg that was a pure awesome energized kickass video! I was druelling....plus if you can find a beautiful surfer girl, theres hope for me yet...lol 🤙🤙🤙 cheers mate....EPIC!

[@Chas75]

The Chanel is getting cool mate, congrats. Portugal is heaven!

[@tate2863]

Love your videos Ben. Only to confirm the place is very good. No problems with surfing schools as in other european spots, very good wind direction to windsurf waves, interesting city for visiting, shopping, etc. In my experience the only cons are: you need a good N-NW forecast, too many people in august, and the number of days with at least 0,5 m waves and >F5 wind are only 2 out of 7 in august. Some more flat windy days and kite days. It's not as wind&waves consistant as Guincho or Canary islands in summer

[@siddallj]

Windsurfing, wing foiling, wakeboard, foil surfing would be MEGA

[@andreaspropp3270]

Awesome - I always wanted to be a storm chaser - so count me in please!

[@slogo8879]

Great spot! as always very entertaining edit and commentary! Keep v logging! Good times!

[@tiagoduarte1165]

Hi Ben! Have you checked the floating wind turbines offshore? It would be and interesting trip for long distance Windsurfers! #WindFloat Atlantic

[@bensens]

Great, positive video, thanks Ben

[@athertones1775]

Great vid

[@timneville1818]

I have lived in Portugal since 1987, so many great windsurfing spots, Viana do Castelo, Guincho, Martinhal 😃

[@nonamenosurname8516]

such an optimistic video ! keep it coming ;)

[@r55551]

Would definitely be interested in windsurfing / windfoiling / winging. Always wanted to visit there.

[@marcclothier605]

Been looking at a trip here as reckon we can drive down from the UK with kit and bikes in the van and it has flat for Emma and waves for me. A clinic on port tack would also be awesome! Will send you an email. Great video thanks.

[@djmax01]

I'm sooo jealous 😅 That place looks incredible!!!

[@randomhuman8684]

looks awesome Ben, really enjoyed this video 🤙🏼

[@gustavosimes1965]

Welcome to Portugal, hope you like our country

[@pretenderNo1]

Learn new technics is definitely the better choise!

[@robertco7]

Awesome that there are so many sports there! I'm in for the camp if covid is under control!

[@dimitriskarampinis8736]

So Ben, you are a love migrant!

[@thomasfolan2716]

Great video Ben. July and August best time for wind like Sagres ?

[@PhilippMulterer]

I would definitely love to be part of the „activity week“ 🤙🏼

[@mbkiteboarding]

Very nice place, was there last year august.

[@fedormeyer2041]

I love to join a clinic or activity week over there. But I do not know about starboard tack. Say hi to Vilma

[@Krollis_Food]

super cute video :)

[@ShutUpandRideMTB]

Cool channel, subbed. Congrats!

[@yagolf]

activity week would be perfect for me

[@rvanderhorst]

Storm chase type clinic would be great. I am awful at starboard tack but figure a spin loop or back loop should be doable somehow. Also, wave riding tips would be very much appreciated.

[@robhruska7611]

Windsurfing, sup, surf, foil, bike its all good.

[@sjcwindsurf]

I want to come visit! Great video! Try narrower stance on the wing!

[@gijsbomer1984]

I was there its a amasing spot

[@Felix-bh3fu]

Great place ! A Forward clinic on Storm chase style would be great 😊...I can't do the Forward on neither tack, but I somehow can only jump on port tack 🤔

[@WindsurfingTV]

well, you'll have to try them on the way in! 😁

[@westwindsailer]

Was watching vids about this place, high time I made the trip from Canada ! Just waiting for the covid stuff to settle down.

[@greysmile1]

Your new girlfriend and your new homespot is something to brag with! BTW: how funny is the dancing camel at 8:41?

[@_maximilianhinz]

Which sails / boards did you use?

[@WindsurfingTV]

Maximilian Hinz I’m 80kg.. I used from 4.5 to 5.0 and 85 and 90 litres boards.

[@_maximilianhinz]

@@WindsurfingTV I know where I'll be 2021!

[@hantelharald3289]

@benprofitt do you think there are any jobs available in the hotel for students? Just to work there for a couple of weeks during summer time? Something like being a windsurfinginstructor or stuff like that!

[@WindsurfingTV]

Worth an ask... would be a great place to work!

[@szegediaaron]

Is this spot suitable for a "good intermediate"? (planning, gybing, simple jumping, but no wave riding experience)

[@WindsurfingTV]

Totally... Super flat next to the harbor wall. Check the webcam: feelviana.com/pt/webcam

[@Henry-uw1zo]

Haha, you deserve it, Ben!

[@waterbaby299]

What do you do for a living? How do you afford a luxury hotel? Just wondering

[@WindsurfingTV]

Sometimes you’ve got to treat the Mrs…

[@thecoconutjam]

I was supposed to go this year and had to cancel...(f-u-covid)...but looking forward to going next year! 😁 I'd sign-up for a clinic!

[@dragaoazul66]

SUPER

[@alexdugan4467]

Long weekend, forecast based?? 🤔🏄🏼‍♂️🍻

[@WindsurfingTV]

Do it.. it's such a good set up!!

[@alexdugan4467]

I've been and agree, it's great! Ment, long weekend clinic based on a forecast?

[@WindsurfingTV]

@@alexdugan4467 Totally... that was what i was thinking! When i say storm chase i just mean 'call it on a forecast' Porto is 1hr and cheap flights... so think it could work. 4 day clinic.

[@alexdugan4467]

@@WindsurfingTV I'm game for that 👌🏻, work permitting 🤞🏻

[@slickvisualpoetry]

I'd love a flat water clinic there as well. Probably you wouldn't need a storm chase scenario for that. Probably not your cup of tea though.

[@WindsurfingTV]

Flatwater clinics will be for sure happening at some point. I LOVE a bit of flatwater too 😁 ...so get signed up. It makes it easy to get the information to the right people. No spam just info when it's needed. www.Windsurfing.TV/coaching

[@_maximilianhinz]

Just do both ... fixed clinic for wave progression ans storm chase for the crazy cows

[@WindsurfingTV]

Maximilian Hinz when I say ‘storm chase’ I mean go on a good forecast. Rather than just picking a date and hoping. Obviously setting a date does work as it’s pretty consistent but going on a forecast would guarantee awesome conditions.

[@_maximilianhinz]

@@WindsurfingTV Ok, so good forecast does not automatically mean mast and a half high waves? :-D

[@WindsurfingTV]

@@_maximilianhinz haha.. no! To be honest it would be perfect to get what i got for a clinic. Bit of jumping and a bit of riding!

[@_maximilianhinz]

@@WindsurfingTV I can totally understand that. I hat my eyes on the place since the first PWA World Cup. Your video pushed me over the edge now. Bummer that the Beach Club is rather expensive ...

[@alexdugan4467]

Forecast based clinic 👍🏻

[@nicolasespinasse]

You're really good at "selling" this wonderfull place. But biking or wing-surfing is for retired dudes no? :p) I need to practice one more year to join your clinic (only 2 years back on the water since… 1989), but I'm sold with Portugal!. How long ago can you have a decent Wind forecast? Like 2 weeks or less?

[@WindsurfingTV]

haha.. Not when you see how i bike! 😁 On the forecast it was good up there for a while but looks like a few days off at the moment. But usually, they have wind as there is a local effect due to the mountain/Hill. Waves are obviously more difficult in the summer. But we had some little ones every day.. especially if you go to the bottom end.

[@POR1131]

COUNT ME IN for your first clinic in Viana!

[@vespa2901]

Congrats to your girlfriend. Well done!

[@robhruska7611]

Sign me up!

[@Pagana4president]

Ben, we need to talk, i will try to reach you by whattsap... looks really nice over there
