🚀 START JUMPING IN FLATWATER NOW! Freeride & Freerace Windsurfing Gear | How to ...?

[@russelllutwyche5736]

This is pretty well exactly how we used to do it back in the very early '80s, In those days were used to refer to our short boards as jump boards.

[@mortenfrederiksen3063]

You are absolutely killing it with your videos lately... liked the challenge video, loved this tutorial.... putting it into practice is another matter, I nosedove and cannonballed hard today, but at least i now know what i fucked up, apart from being completly overpowered:) There isn’t many beginner jumping tutorials out there or simple small wave/ chop guides... its all jibes (in flat water perfect conditions) or massive double-push-forward-loop-burner-tabletop guides.

[@Nico_GER7]

Thank you - trying my best :-). Any suggestions for other tutorials? Keep up the cannonballs, haha

[@ihlakschneider4702]

helped me so much. i live in a lake where the water is flat so this helped me a lot!

[@markoconnor680]

Those instructions were excellent, precise and accurately in time with the actions shown which proved that wave jumps are easier to perform than may have appeared to anyone making their first attempts to perform one themselves, and practice makes perfect.

[@Martinezz8611]

Another very good video by Nico. Obviously the challenge would be to focus on that when finally catching a good windy day on water. Danke Nico!

[@deckearns]

This is EXCELLENT teaching. You don't only talk about WHAT TO DO but also what NOT to do. Also, what might happen if you don't do it perfectly. THANK YOU.

[@oadolfss]

Nice, as these are the conditions most of us experience for jumping, or cruise jump as I like to call it :) One thing to add is that when jumping at speed as in this video I find it helps to land pointing a bit downwind to avoid fin spinout. Maybe if you have a ultra pro quality fin this is not a problem.

[@nikemie1]

Good point

[@RP6conrad]

Excellent camerashots ! Very good tutorial, but I am to old to jump around.... (just scared !)

[@Vini.OliveTree]

Nice video Nico, thanks. As we have fewer days with good conditions this time of the year I'd like to suggest you make a video with a gym work out session for getting fit for windsurfing.

[@marcosgallodgp]

Yes yes yes! more videos likes this please!! tutorials!! thank you Nico for taking the time to do this videos, I love it!

[@AlexSurf]

멋지네요 설명도 좋아요

[@dockfoguray2683]

Hi toll erklärt du bist mein Held Nico

[@Nico_GER7]

danke :-) 🦸‍♂️

[@KonstantinosLianos]

These are videos are so helpful for the community! Kudos to you Nico for putting the effort

[@ScrattleGG]

How much does board size matter? I'm still a beginner and I tried today on a 141L starboard carve. I am planing, in harness and in straps. My board would just go sideways once air got under it and it was wayyy too heavy with the wind to get it flat. I could still land it, but felt wrong to have my board sidways. Do I tighten my straps? I have them somewhat lose for ease of access at the trade of control.

[@Nico_GER7]

The board size matters a lot of course. With a 141l it's gonna be quite a bit more difficult. With a wide board like this, often only the windward rail comes out, like you explained, because the other rail is so far away and it's hard to lift the side you're not standing on. Tighter footstraps can definitely help, but it will stay difficult with this one regardless.

[@bobvandeburgt]

Great quality! Are you scared some times when you go full power downwind with some nasty chop?

[@Nico_GER7]

😄 Usually not. It's all about control 😜. It has to be reeeaaallly choppy and super windy for me to start being scared.

[@thomasgiannerini364]

great video! keep going like that

[@Studio-yw1vq]

Super cool

[@adamwuksta3255]

I like the kite surfing dig😂

[@windsurfingtwins7197]

Moin Nico bist mit Mario der beste Windsurfer für mich bist du beim Mercedes Cup auf Sylt 👍🤙

[@Nico_GER7]

Ja, bin dabei 🤙🤙

[@windsurfingtwins7197]

Nico Prien klasse freut mich dann werde ich mich doch mal auf den Weg machen 👍Gruß Marvin 🤙

[@windsurfingtwins7197]

Nico Prien hallo Nico haben gerade unser erstes Video hochgeladen vielleicht hast du ja Lust es dir anzugucken !😂Gruß Marvin 👍

[@windsurfingtwins7197]

Nico Prien ich bin’s nochmal kurze Info wir surfen erst seit letztem jahr aber auch nur im Sommer würden uns freuen wenn du dir das Video anschauen würdest und Tipps geben könntest was wir noch verbessern können 😂👍🤙

[@windsurfingtwins7197]

Hallo Nico wie gewünscht ist unser neues Video fertig 😊👍!LG Marvin und Louis 😀

[@matt3nt]

Bravo!

[@mischavannorren9895]

Geiles Video du springst ja bei Glas Wasser hierher als ich in der Welle 😂🔥 Sehr gut erklärt 🤙

[@Fpedreti]

I'll try with a JP Super Light Wind. I hope I don't breake the board.

[@Nico_GER7]

If you don't land flat, you won't 😄

[@yrubesor]

Just wondering why Nico’s hands are so wide of the harness lines as normally he advises keeping hands be the lines and arms straight

[@istvansternocky]

Is it works with a 145l board?

[@farbfehler]

Super erklärt!

[@f.w.6913]

Amazing footage!!

[@oliverrandall2919]

great vid

[@karl._.1098]

Nice Video

[@SirThisWayPlz]

I actually find slalom gear is easier to jump... due to the volume at the back and the speed, maybe...

[@Nico_GER7]

yeah, could be

[@romanczarnota1045]

On ms m. Majestic dc in

[@romanczarnota1045]

Nico Prien hm mom

[@dengordo]

Sick footage in the beginning! Have you got a new camera lense?

[@Nico_GER7]

Nooo.. back then I was using the Fuji XT-3 with 100-400 and 18-55 and now I'm using Panasonic S1H with 24-70mm and 70-200mm (+ 2x converter).

[@dengordo]

@@Nico_GER7 the picture quality is brilliant, super sharp and nice bokeh.

[@jackrathburn4304]

Cool vid nico just one thing are you hooked in when ur jumping

[@Nico_GER7]

Thanks! - No - unless I jump one handed. But normally not.

[@jackrathburn4304]

Well I won’t be doing that any time soon 😂🤙

[@Nico_GER7]

😂😂😂 Good luck! Keep us posted with your progress 🤓

[@MarioKuempel]

Das Tutorial schreit nach einem Praxistest 😄

[@Nico_GER7]

Okay, ich nominiere dich 😂

[@SlatanErvice]

Nico Prien tja, da hat Mario mal so richtig schön Pech gehabt, Keule! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnaTemyPh7mFg9k

[@andreavalenza1414]

Ciao, sei bravissimo! 😜

[@shmish]

What are some common causes of spin out when landing?

[@Boooaaszelf]

Water combined with air around the fin and too much foot pressure

[@shmish]

I meant in terms of technique. Landing with too much weight on back foot?

[@kwaterny]

Hi, what is the lowest board volume at which attempt to jump is purposless? I guess it is better to get low volume board for learning, but does it make sense with 135 l board ?

[@Nico_GER7]

135 is already quite a lot for jumping. It all depends on the wind and your weight. If it's windy enough you can jump with 80l 😄. Beyond 140l it's not so easy to learn, because the board is heavy. Something around 100l is good. But again, depends on the wind, your weight and also if there are waves etc.

[@kwaterny]

@@Nico_GER7 Thank u Nico for your response. I'm 80kg and I used to surf 135l on the choppy lake even up to 20kt. With the sail around 6.7-7.0 the set is not light weight so now I wonder whether I should improve my technique or use another board because 135 just does not fit into jumping.

[@stef4753]

Is it possible with a fanatic lite bat ? Its my beginnerboard

[@lemoni68]

Hi Nico. Can you please let us have details of the board/sail/fin on this footage ?

[@Nico_GER7]

Yes :-) I used 62 JP Slalom, 6,4 NeilPryde EVO XI and 32cm Chopper Fin
