The HUNT for WAVES (as a complete BEGINNER)

[@MarioKuempel]

That was an interesting session…🤣

[@tonbrouwers8002]

When is your video going to be online? I have the feeling you're either going to nail it or fail it but nothing in between...

[@gideon458]

Not the most action but stil a lot of fun to watch.. thank you for making me jealous again!

[@thorstenc7342]

Happy Birthday Nils 🎉 Klasse Videos von Euch beiden, Ihr habt Euch das Fass Bier danach definitiv verdient 😂

[@oceannesailor]

oh man. Good on you and Mario for sharing this . . . Tough decisions when you've got so much interest and time invested in getting there and wanting to do something new to you (and that you are otherwise ready and 'qualified' to try) . . . AND wanting to get good stuff for the camera. BUT . . . DON'T DO IT! (compromise your judgement, that is) Glad your better judgement prevailed. We all need to see more 'honest' videos like this to balance out all those "eye-candy" videos that make everything look so easy! 😂🥶 . . . So... thanks, to you and Mario (I've watched his too), for surviving! and putting these together 🍻

[@bradmurdaugh5228]

Fun video and great to see you branching out into other aspects of the sport. Keep it up.

[@kramshoej]

Thank you so much for a behind the scenes. There are just to few videos that talk to beginner wave surfers like me

[@GrahamSnowdon]

Best decision, very enjoyable video from a beginner

[@WindsurfGenerationX]

Gute Dokumentation darüber, dass man wirklich überlegen sollte, wo man rausgeht und wo besser nicht. Habe sschon auf Sylt Worldcup Fahrer gesehen, die nicht durch die ersten 5 Meter Brandung kamen. Robbie Naish kam anschließend und es sah soo einfach aus.

[@windsurf888]

Good work. Document your wave journey - it will be useful for wave newbies

[@petergronholm9400]

Happy birthday Nils

[@windwavewinter]

"I think we would die here..." I concur, but what glorious deaths they would have been! 😂😉

[@WindsurfingNils]

for sure 🤣

[@christopherai4066]

Nice video!

[@johanfiskvikmjen7132]

really enjoyed the video

[@francoisf195]

Light wind, big swell, often are harder to ride, especially for heavy guys. Thanks for the video.

[@WindsurfingNils]

for sure, want some easy wave conditions to learn properly...

[@henrycartwright7124]

Fair play for giving it a crack!

[@davidhmws]

This seems kind of crazy to seek out wave spots, you don’t know about currents, shallow spots, and other hazards, and they might vary according to tides and wind direction. My brother lives on Oahu, and he is a lazy 65 year old modest skilled windsurfer, and when I visit him, he gives me exact detailed info on where to get out, exactly when to turn, how far to go, and what happens if you don’t. Glad it all worked out.

[@MarkoPareigis]

Sardinia is nice and all (when Cala Piscina, Vignola Mare and Isola Rosa close out try Spiaggia di Is Asrenas or Capu Manu near Oristano or Chia and Pula in the south if there are southerly winds) But the REAL fun starts in Ireland's south-west (use Tralee -> Castlegregory as a Base). You will find perfect conditions for all skill levels in all conditions! Late September / Early October is the best time as the water is warm enough for a 3/2mm

[@surferkaspert4679]

I will make a wave clinic for you and Mario in Denmark in the autumn 🤙🤙

[@WindsurfingNils]

yes please!! 😍

[@alasdaircross7174]

Brave - well done. What gear were you using guys?

[@davethewave9380]

Weise Entscheidung, das Glück nicht herauszufordern! Alles Gute Nachträglich!🤙

[@gpt0815]

8:45 zu wenig Wind, zu viele Felsen.

[@lucaringhio77]

Cala Pischina is not a spot for beginner in wave discipline. exit from the beach its not the right way and can be more dangerous sometimes.

[@myfelicidade]

One thought: wouldn't it be a lot easier for you to just take a random 130 liter, narrow board? this way you would get rid of many problems and learn to evolve and place yourself in the waves. For sure you'd loose some manoeuverability but as a beginner I guess you don't expect to rip waves sharply anyway.

[@frontloop71]

Don't go windsurfing in zero wind 😅

[@Rocco_cin]

Tomorrow slalom fin session at "Lu Impostu". Come with me. Paradise spot. Off shore mistral wind and flat flat water.

[@gatesurfer]

If you’re a beginning wave sailor at a “wave spot” and no one else is out, it’s a good idea not to go. There are too many variables-not just wind speed, but direction makes a big difference in how you ride the wave. There could be obstructions in the water that need to be avoided. Currents and riptides that will drag you into dead zones. Rocks and reefs that will ruin your gear. It’s not worth it.

[@WindsurfingNils]

true, there was noone out anywhere, we went to this spot as a local told us it would be good and we at least wanted to try.

[@kaspervannuland]

Amigo, lower your boom. Channels are good. Sometimes just stay in the channel and tack in the channel untill yr 100%out. Then catch the biggest wave of the set.... I am from Portugal we always sail without wind.... Good video

[@thorstenpausch8056]

😊 bitte keine Spotnamen. Das wäre so cool... Oft sind die locals schon genug. Pisc. voll krasser Materialfresser, deswegen war auch keiner. Ist Hookipa easy dagegen 😅 viel Spaß. Wind haben wir ja genug Zug Zeit😊

[@WindsurfingNils]

ich mag dieses territorialdenken nicht, das meer ist für alle da ;)

[@thorstenpausch8056]

Ja. Stimmt natürlich vollkommen. Trotzdem braucht es irgendwie nicht noch mehr Spotguides von KZbinrn. Beim kiten wurde schon einiges hier gehypt und wurde dann leider zusehends über die letzten Jahre immer voller mit Deutschen Konsumpublikum. Manche Spots vertragen halt nicht so viele Leute auf dem Wasser bzw Parkmöglichkeiten sind sehr begrenzt und die Leute wollen ja auch Gassi gehen. In Tarifa ist ja seit diesem Jahr leider auch mehr begrenzt im Winter. Jeder kann sich selbst durchfragen oder mit Windkarten und Google Maps kreativ werden. Und Content kannst du ja auch anders genug generieren. Egal. Trotzdem viel Spaß 🎉

[@leisepinkler]

That is wavesailing

[@doradosurfcharters]

🎉👍🍻🎉

[@Phil-ry2ux]

My story of that spot. I went. I saw. I left. I was on my own and didnt like the look of it one little bit.

Freewave boards are useless in waves of any significant size. Your life will be a lot easier on a real wave board.

[@yannldn2321]

I think if you are a wave beginner sailing a freewave is the least of your problem. Especially in such lightwind as in the video. If you are experienced, waves are fast and the wind is side or sideoff I agree that a real waveboard is beneficial.

[@stephandahm7280]

Völlig bescheuerte Aktion, wenn man sich selbst überschätzt und sich so in Gefahr bringt. „Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten!“ 😝👎
