I think the video is very detailed enough 👍

[@TristTheGuitarist]

Great video! What is your sail size and how is the wind speed?

[@og-2768]

Can you teach us how to waterstart?

[@jasejesse8308]

dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)

[@aidengrayson4056]

@Jase Jesse yup, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@kilian5628]

Deine Videos sind so wertvoll für mich und wahrscheinlich auch für viele andere! Auch das kleine Beispiel von Alara hat gezeigt das es sehr viele verschiedene Faktoren sind um das perfekte "Pumpen" zu beherrschen. Das alles hast du extrem übersichtlich und verständlich erklärt. Vielen Dank!

[@Nico_GER7]

Freut mich, wenn es dir und möglichst vielen anderen hilft. 🤙

[@florianbauch3581]

Pumping onto the plane is a truly neglected topic in windsurfing. Thanks for bringing it up. Nice to see how you "get low, to go" to make yourselve easy on the board. Also nicely visible starting at 2:51 you drive the board downwinds at around 20-30 degrees angle. Keep up the excellent tutorials.

[@WindsurfingNelson]

Many people believe it's done in a second. You showing the 8 times you were pumping set that straight, thank you. It helped me to imagine my rig were a large spoon which I could use to catch air to get forward. Hard work nonetheless...

[@Nico_GER7]

Very true, thanks for your comment!

[@quepasatim]

When there is almost no wind best is to stay on the beach and have a beer 🤙

[@justme4539]

That's when you go surfing! Then when the wind picks up grab the sail 😂

[@droukaspan]

Perfect answer this is what i want to write to !! You stay at the beach and look some asses.... !!!!!! Filakia no pumping nothing................

Sound design is on point for this one! Editor deserves food this month!

[@Nico_GER7]

Good to hear! I spent a lot more time on the sound design these days.

[@arturkyszejko1402]

Nice tutorial, thx :D . How do you setup your Gear on very light wind?

[@meynsouille9297]

Nice video were I found many tips to understand how this pumping works... thanks for your videos Nico and your all things you share with us!

[@Chyller1]

Good tutorial thanks :) I would be very interested in that light wind technique video you said you would make 😁

amazing! haha thank you!

[@vincenttemur540]

Helpful video! Thanks.

[@Nico_GER7]

Happy to help ✌️

[@dairyairman]

This is good! I didn't know there was so much to say about pumping. It's something I've done for years and never really thought about. I'm going to pay attention to my technique from now on!

[@janelsner4506]

Hi! A while ago you where talking about making a video about slalom fins. Since this is apparently the most important thing like tires in F1. I think a lot of people like to hear more detailed background information about this. I love your videos so far so please keep going !!!

[@Nico_GER7]

Yes there is one. I uploaded it last year :-)

[@alanmurphy3633]

Thank you nico love all your vlogs especially these tutorials very helpful keep up the good work

[@lancemepsted1145]

Thanks Nico. I shall be sure to try a bit more pumping next time on the water in marginal wind which at my local lake is just about every time!

[@wdfwgagyfgagyga]

Damn, I haven't seen such good quality windsurf video turturials in a long time. Awesome job and thank you for the effort of making these videos! you have definetly earned my subscription and a good tumbs up!

[@Hondeer]

That is so fun! Was out in Puget Sound mucking about and wouldn't get unstuck, tried doing what we do in MTB on PumpTracks with dirt jumpers and *bam!* board popped up and away I went. Thanks for the extra tip on pushing the board forward and towards the fin for more drive! :)

[@marklewis7306]

Thanks for the technique...I’m looking forward to trying it out. It would have been helpful if the video showed that you eventually did get planning and no longer had to pump.

[@fajnefajniejsze6339]

i will try it tomorrow!!

[@davidakiba4338]

Thank you for pumping tutorial ! it helped me for foiling :)

[@gradjenaaien6065]

Yeaaahh new turorial 😍

[@Nico_GER7]

Time to get on the water and practice 😉

[@zanusbluesman]

Fantastic as always. That's a technique I always wanted to learn thanks

[@lukasbroer9439]

Thanks a lot Nico ! Absolut great job ! I am an advanced beginner, and your tutorials and also the rest is absolut epic ! Please keep going even during your Pro pensum...

[@stauffap]

As a freestyler i'd recommend putting both hands behind the harness lines (as far back as you can). That gives you much more power to pump, since you can use both arms to pump instead of just using the back arm. And of course go downwind.

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Hi Nico..Happy U r able to come go back to the water..Here in Brazil it will take a little longer Please tell me. Does this method vary depending on the board? I mean it works with a formula board beispiel?

[@ArcticWindsurfer]

Thanks for this 😀🤙 I'm struggling to come up in planing in low wind. These were good tips that must be tried next time on the water. 🤘

[@user-mk8we2sh8u]

Nice one

[@morozanton]

Thank you! It's best pumping technique video! In future tutorial maybe little more about arms position on the boom. You have right position of course :), but there are good example with Alara (3:32).

[@Nico_GER7]

I think, for the public channel I'm not going to talk more about the pumping, but that's something we can discuss in detail in the channel membership group.

[@morozanton]

Good idea!

[@jean-baptiste6479]

Your video helped me a lot, thanks! It really helps transition to planing. That's like the clutch pedal on a car : you have to find the sweet spot.

[@christofferdamgaard8368]

Insane video Nico (y)

[@Nico_GER7]

Thanks Christoffer!

[@jackrathburn4304]

This video really helped because I don’t live in a windy spot can we do some foiling videos seem as everyone is getting into it

[@andreasstein6218]

Super Video. Auf so etwas warte ich schon lange. Muss ich nächstes mal gleich versuchen umzusetzen. Fällst du vorher immer auf Raum wind ab bevor du pumpst?

[@Nico_GER7]

Jap, schon ein bisschen auf Raum - vergessen zu sagen. Aber manchmal geht man wieder ein bisschen auf Halb- oder Amwind, wenn es ganz wenig Wind hat.

[@dengordo]

So how much wind did you have here with your 8.0m sail?

[@FrederikSchukken]

Thanks Nico

[@tomasknutsson7560]

Excellent explanation! Thanks! Observation: It seems you pump better and differently on the left side. Your pumping on the right side looks different and not as dynamic as on the left side. Which arm is your "strong arm"?

[@dengordo]

Sweet👌 is foil pumping technic the same?

[@Nico_GER7]

Nope, it's slightly different.

[@TRUMP2four]

Great as always video Nico Ger7🤙🤙🤙 once again you are a very blessed man with a beautiful and nice wife to share life with. Great spot to sail in also🤙💪😁

[@Aijse]

Nice video once again, just what I need. The part where you mention you start with a bent front elbow and extended back, is a bit confusing. I do not really see this back when you are in the water. Also it feels awkward for me if I do it. Moving both elbows at the same time feels more natural. Can you explain this a bit more? thanks!

[@mintoxace5571]

Hi Nico, Love your tutorials mate. I was wondering if you could do one of these on how to get going on foils in really light wind? :)

[@gabrielburin7367]

I like it how the boom is too high! Cheers

[@Nico_GER7]

Haha, it's not though 😄✌️

[@VenhaVe]

Sehr geiles Video, danke!

[@David-mx6hu]

Hey does anyone know the hoodie nico is wearing in the begining

[@sergebonichi9635]

Sounds quite complicated:))) so many things to do and control in same time 😜😜😜 the one part is contrary with my thoughts..... Peter Hart advised to keep board even with water level fore to aft. As your advice it kind of jumping.... Need to try 😉 Thanks!!!! Great job 👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Nico_GER7]

Yeahh, go and try ✌️😄

[@musikstudiobarth_promusicshop]

Fritz Kola ... Good decision Nico!

[@Nico_GER7]

Haha, yes 😄✌️

[@SwellRipper]

In lighter wind I can pump onto a plane as discussed, but can't stay on plane for long. Oh well, guess I should use 5.8 instead of 5.3 to keep the plane going. Otherwise, any tips to maintaining the plane in marginal conditions?

[@joakimyliruusi]

One thing that would be cool is if you would add approx wind speed, sail size and board size to these tutorials. What you are using at the moment of filming that is. Thank you!

[@Nico_GER7]

You’re absolutely right. Will add this to the description later on.

[@Nico_GER7]

Gear used in this video: JP Slalom 71 + EVO Flight II 8.0 Conditions: Approx. 10-13kn when it was light, up to ca. 15-18kn when it was stronger. But I tried to shoot the pumping when it was lighter, obviously 😄.

Really useful - thanks :-)

[@maartenpluim8954]

@@Nico_GER7 It is💪

[@michal5869]

I attempted it today, but my hands couldn't continue for long. A few pushes, and my biceps didn't have enough power. Do you just grab the bar for balance, or do you need to pull it up to your chest?

[@greylynnn]

Thanks man.

[@jip2971]

the difficulty for me is to transfer energy well into the legs, to be well placed to have the right timing to step back and put on the straps you really need a good physical condition in the light wind to go to planing

[@kidxrude]

For me usually in light wind it also helps to put the hands quite close together. What's your take on that?

[@florianbauch3581]

Sure, this way you stay away from the sail and have more amplitude for each pull.

[@cristiananeris4323]

My problem is putting my feet into the footstrap,how can I solve this problem?

[@mommomom6501]

When i do the pump my board goes to much up in the wind how do i fix this?

[@Nico_GER7]

push the board downwind with your front foot while pumping.

[@bartpawlikowski]

I sent you idea for faster planing 🤙

[@hardymanboy]

Hi Nico, the problem when i try to pump is that by board is going slightly upwind.. or when i get planning, the board isn't planning enough to go in the straps and go full power..

[@florianbauch3581]

Most people try to get planning on a beam reach (90 geg to wind direction) which requires a ton of wind. The Pros like Nico go 15-30 deg. downwind and oncle planning go back up again.

Is it possible to get a difference of 1000 likes to zero dislikes? 😏😏😏

[@lukasroth5123]

Spielt da die Segelgrösse eine grosse Rolle?

[@Nico_GER7]

Ja, das natürlich auch. Finne und Board sind ebenfalls relevant, aber Equipment ist da nochmal ein anderes Thema.

[@Alex-mm5jb]

Wunderbar erklärt, vielen Dank. Aber wieso muss Deine Freundin da wieder herhalten? Anpumpen kostet nun mal neben der Technik auch eine Menge Kraft. Ein Beispiel mit einem ähnlich muskelbepackten Windsurfer, wie Du es bist, wäre da bezüglich Technik wohl passender gewesen...

[@Nico_GER7]

Komische Wortwahl. Sie musste nicht herhalten. Das ist spontan so passiert und ich hab's halt nicht rausgeschnitten.

If there's almost no wind... I stay home!!!

[@Nico_GER7]

Or foiling 😄✌️

[@kcd2120]

Nico Prien Lots of sail pumping was always necessary in San Diego, even on the biggest gear. I haven’t windsurfed in almost 18 years but would love to get back into it - I bet these new boards are noticeably more efficient in marginal winds. I have no interest in foiling, though! It’s impressive how early they plane......but I would miss the water contact way too much.
