Good that you mentioned the security factor! Sometimes it is not only about fun👍

[@tristan_krn]

I really like how Nico gave Lars a little scolding for not sailing safe. It shows that he cares. Anyway great video!👍🏼

[@Surfschule_Heidkate]

Wir hätten für Lars noch einen vernünftigen Neo + Accessoires gehabt ;-). Schnackt uns einfach an wenn ihr das nächste Mal was braucht. Viele Grüße von der Surfschule Heidkate

[@LarsWcmn]

😘😘

[@joakimyliruusi]

Lars is an excellent addition to the team! Hardcore stuff going into those conditions in summer gear, good to point out the risk factor. Fortunately there were other people on the water and you on the beach, so help was available.

[@windsurfing_is_a_way_of_life]

Best advise ever!!!! You gotta know your limits. People laugh at me when I tell them conditions are to hard, but in the end it's all about safety and fun. Awesome video!

[@karlhelbig4001]

Thanks for that great video. Lars is a real likeable North German windsurfer. I thought Nico would never fall off the board, good to see that even a star of the scene has his limits and has always been perfect. Thank you both for the great video.

[@windsurf888]

Haha, good on you Lars! (Would have been cool for you to do a little commentary on Lars's sailing - coaching tips?) And surely there must be some second hand gear at the store which he can use to update his kit - I haven't see a boom shape like that since the nineties. Anyway, entertaining video once again Mr Prien, keep 'em coming

[@Nico_GER7]

wait for the video next week 😇

[@ghughes20]

Lars is crazy to go out in those conditions sans sleeves. Glad all were safe - and warm and at the end. Also, great waterstart in the rough stuff from Nico.

[@mhenag]

Well done Lars, you did a lot better than I would have 👏 Sure, it got a bit dangerous, but unfortunately we only really learn boundaries after a fright.

[@alexvantee6938]

Good on ya guys to go out and show us how it's done😉, lars has got some big balls to go out like that🤙

[@mis100tubos]

Yesterday I stoped my windsurfing session for the same reason: it was a summer day in costa brava, but the water it was cold..really cold,and I was wearing a shorty,so…Retreat on time is a victory; this guy is crazy…or too young 👍😅 Good vídeo 😜🤟

[@matt6995]

The end scene jeeeeez its great 🤣

[@martin.leisepinkler]

Happy Eastern everyone

[@Radicalplay]

We had a similar situation here in Egypt (in February, probably as cold as Germany in April...) where a friend was struggling to water start and up-haul and we where really far out, eventually I sailed to a huge fishing boat near by and told them the situation, they came and rescued him with their large winch and fishing net, they got him out of the sea like they would fish! It was scary in the begging but a funny sight at the end !

[@Dr.Vassilev]

It's great that you found Lars to help you editing and filming! Nice b-rolls, nice drone shots, nice music, nice story:) it's mutch more fun to watch you content now:) maybe if you use some ND-filters it will be even better:) Good luck and let's make windusfing great again:)

[@Nico_GER7]

Thanks, we're using ND Filters since 3 years :-)

[@Sequoiaandpines]

Great vídeo. I like to see you falling to see how you manage the situations. Also great to see Lars. Can you do more videos with him and correct is posture, etc? Also can you give some examples with vídeo of sea self rescue and sail and board sizes vs wind conditions? finally can we see uphauling on those choppy conditions? tx in advance.

[@ketang5438]

Lars is really brave and strong. I admire him very much. He can wear short sleeves and go into the water at a temperature of 5 degrees. You know, I usually stay at home at such a temperature.

[@SuanYong]

The danger with cold water comes from gear failure, so you should dress for the worst case (e.g., if your mast breaks and you must swim back to shore), not the best case where you nail every jibe and stay mostly dry.

[@comsunjava]

Right, and Nico shows the air temp was 5C, but Baltic sea temp was right around that. Does that windsurf-van have a sauna ;)

[@alasdaircross7174]

Kudos to Lars! I hope you bought him a large hot chocolate!

[@barney3444]

Congrats on the 40k subs!

[@eranszekely7806]

Know your limits. I never get into the water in storm.... Great vlog. Can you please make a vlog about select the fin size? I always use the fin that come with the board, but what I missing? I surfing with Futura 2022 size 77.

[@adambradbery1314]

Nico - from what I saw of all the other windsurfers out there, including Lars, was that you were the only one that that looked comfortable and fast. I would have been like Lars in those conditions. Do you have any tips on managing that kind of swell when you are going out directly into it?

[@timberhoff]

the control at 9:00 is so sweet. Ready to waterstart again:)

[@ttanucha]

My coldest session was in 0 degress. When water became ice on a board. And i took a breaks every 5 minutes to warm hands

[@martijnwindsurfing]

Amazing video Nico!!

[@rub3n182]

Omg just started watching and your sweater is soooo sick! So excited for the video and the new clothes! Big loveee

[@Hendreh1]

I was also on the baltic sea that day. 130l starboard 5.4m sail soo nice and fun really. with a 5m sail Lars would have a great time😀🇩🇪

[@bradmurdaugh5228]

Great video! I agree you have to know your limits and hypothermia can set in quicker than you realize. A good video maybe tips on self rescue. That may just save a life. I've had to self rescue when the mast broke in the middle of a lake and was thankful for the few videos i watched for tips. Cant imagine what it would have been like in the ocean with a sub par wetsuit.

[@luciennieman4490]

Nice video again with a warning. Nice jibes in the swell. Did you use the 2022 board? And get Lars some proper material.

[@luciennieman4490]

Welcome at Surla @lars👍

[@radrunning8535]

Beautiful work bro!

[@jeriksson7686]

Uhhh I know that feeling when you struggle, get tired and just want to go home 🤪

[@TheHochschieber]

Nice detail at 5:05 😜

[@supandsurfeurope5891]

Danke, das macht Bock auf Heidkate! Aber doch nicht bei 5 Grad! Sehr cooles Video im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, da ich gerade bei 35 Grad in Dahab gesurft bin. :-) :-)

[@defenderoftheadverb]

What, no Fritz Cola?

[@JanniBunny78]

Schaue das Video während es viel zu windig ist draußen... 😊 Ich hoffe das ab Mittag mein können zum Wind passt 🤣love Kroatia

[@arnonuhm6870]

"And we got to get you a proper board, Lars." ... 🙂🙂

[@tahfiet]

Are there new Surla Hoodies in the pipeline? I only bought one for my wife last year…

[@turpinfrancois8686]

What do you use for gloves

[@alexandergordt105]

How would Ben call that? Full send mode? 🤣

[@JohnHumphreyGC]

Were those the 5mil NeilPryde Lobster Claw gloves.... with an open palm? If so, I have those and have been debating whether to cut open the palm as well. Did you cut a single slit, or open the palm entirely?

[@windsurferniklas6511]

Lars braucht Unterricht bei Nico und mit kurz arm 🥶🥶🥶

[@mathisholland714]

Ist das am Anfang am plöner See?

[@Nico_GER7]

Selenter :-)

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Just for curiosity' s sake..Wasn´t it prohibited to windsurfing in the lake? I think I noticed a sign wich for me.. said that..Please confirm. All happiness to all

[@Nico_GER7]

No entrance on the right because of swimmers beach. Otherwise allowed, it’s a popular windsurfing spot.

[@alteisentv]

🥶🥶🥶 Lars, der Eisbär

[@LarsWcmn]

Das habe ich ja noch nie gehört 😂😂😂

[@ottohahn7160]

Wer brauch schon Sommer 😅

[@thetakburger7928]

5° and wearing shorts after going in freezing water. 😂

[@tonytough1]

Heidkate ist schon geil. Aber für mich erst, wenn‘s 10 Grad mehr hat…😉

[@renaud1978]

a video about how to react to dangerous situation would be nice, indeed i heard so many stories about guys stqying in the water for 18hours during summer time in the south of France so pretty nice right, but no one could see him, wrong decisions which could have killed him, yes a good video on that would be appreicated !

[@deroux]

Give Lars a big fat Raise instead of a hat! Don't work for hats Lars!

[@Nico_GER7]

You got it wrong. He’s partly paid by surla not with surla items 😂

[@karstent319]

Hey Nico. What about your wife? When will we see her again? And what about Cooper? Did you left them behind on your journey?

[@smogy7279]

Hi ich Windsurfe seit 20 Jahren im Urlaub aber Kiten ist viel günstiger und weniger aufwand und weniger Material :) Aber bleibe surfen treu

[@smogy7279]

HAHA dein azubi Fühle ich zu 100% meine ausrüstung ist die selbe fast :)

[@markchip1]

I think Lars is a better windsurfer than you are a videographer, Nico!!

[@simonjandrell5897]

the Wingdingers.. thats what we call them in Britain and it has been said.. it looks a bit Goofy LMAO (Wing Surfers) seem to be making us Windsurfers look like Dinosaurs.. i can tell u are as lucky as us in Britain with the Tropical Climate (its the best) PMSL

[@tuurvandenbroeck1230]

IF you edit some good music on Lars session it would'v looked as good as Nico's...

[@Nico_GER7]

Well, he edited it himself 😂

[@steffenernst3234]

Zweiter 😜 cool video as always.

[@Peeter77]

Cold water, harsh conditions, no proper wetsuit, old gear... Guys what were you thinking. Lars you need a winter wetsuit for that weather, not a cap. Don't ever do that again.

[@Nico_GER7]

Agreed, will get him one :-)

[@Peeter77]

And after the emotions cooled down. I must say, Lars, you are the MAN. I know exactly how cold is Baltic sea at this time of year. With proper wetsuit and boots it is really enjoyable. But with short sleeves and no proper boots. You are one crazy guy. Greetings from Tallinn, Estland.

[@matejpolivka4883]

I windsurfed in 4 degrees

[@sharewavestv]

Leichtsinnig ist nicht das Gleiche wie Coolness… Zum Glück ist wohl alles gut gegangen. Hat Lars einen dicken Schnupfen gehabt? Gute Besserung

[@jimmycricketlopez2746]

Most boring video of the year so far, thanks 😂

[@Nico_GER7]

Welcome 😊

[@Mr4xl]

Lars needs some help. . .
