The other side of Speed!

[@dlmsarge8329]

Absolutely awesome! I've been extremely lucky to have windsurfed and kite surfed in North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. I really appreciate the dedication, skill and perseverance these guys have. The images of wrecked gear hurt my heart a bit! Lol hope there were no serious injuries.

[@Rufusdos]

Very good decision not to put music over this. The natural sound adds to the drama 100%.

No one realises how addictive this is till you try it..You end up dreaming about it.

At that speed a helmet acts like an underwater parachute and has been known to break necks.

Anyone who I willing to travel at those speeds on any surface on any vehicle with no helmet just proves there’s nothing there to protect to begin with! Great effort dude, real smart 👌

without helmet is crazy

[@sammcneil1213]

Absolutely, total lack of respect for the sport, to concerned for image. idiots.

[@patrickswayze2596]

Sam Mcneil I skydive, paraglide, hang glide, BASE jump, anything aviation, I have had my pilots license since I was 16, and on my old page before I shut it down, people would say ‘what’s the point of wearing a helmet when your jumping off a cliff’, and same principals, you may not hit the ground but you may strike something! A friend of mine was doing a tandem many years ago, he wasn’t wearing a helmet, another skydiver collided with him and knocked him unconscious, luckily I was so close that I deployed his main, and helped guide him down until he regained consciousness. Poor being, a 55 year old man skydiving for over 30 plus years thought he was immune to risk, but due to somebody else’s stupidity it almost cost two lives that day!

[@sammcneil1213]

@@patrickswayze2596 Awesome reply, unlike you I just kitesurf, cycle . run and row. Kitesurfing is my passion. Prior to this I was in two Mountain Rescue teams here in North Scotland, I have seen first hand, on more than one occasion ,death on the hill, resulting from a small trip stumble and bang to the head. Helmets save lives, simple.

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

My first short board was the rocket99.. back in 1983.. I was a strong kid and could hold a lot of sail.. and the spin outs from that board were horrifying. A year later they came out with the rocket96 and it was a little better lol.

I had this in Sneek a long time ago, right on my car 🥴

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Doeas anybody know what type of device is installed in the harness lines at 1:36?

Yes, its a quick release system if you get panicky under the sail and cant unhook...

Courage and a Strong mental! Bravo for each one of you who participated! I am curious to know what is this amazing tool which has been used with the gopro to film at minute 1:52 to 1:59?

[@timquadrat70]

I guess it‘s an Insta 360 mounted on a stick on the back of the guy. The software renders the stick away. I‘ve seen something similar in another windsurfing channel.

[@Skaelya]

well thanksfully there is no catapult type of crash... like the whole mast breack before it happens. Imagine being catapulted at that speed... that would send you more than 5 meters up in the air...

[@justtowatch111]

No matter what sport you are into, speed is the buzz, unless you fly a paraglider!

[@nikemiandnikemiedimitrov5894]

Car crash test are done, at 60km with sit belts and air bags. This guys are doing almost 💯 km. Amazing staff.

[@avaragewanker7823]

What you forget is a car weights 2 tons and a crash test in a wall with 60 km/h simulates a head on crash with another car same size going 60 too.

[@adimuntean71]

@@avaragewanker7823 not the same. In a car crash deceleration occurs in an very short disctance 1-2 meters, depending of vehicle deformation/angle etc. These results in massive G forces, plus direct impact of all surrounding objects. Here, In case of a crash, windsurfer plane on the water untill stop (or hit the shore-in that case it's not very happy). Of course he can be injured by his own equipment, but again the main movement is slide, no sudden stop.

[@damianketcham]

56 boards and 28 sails were harmed making this video. Maybe a couple if broken bones as well.

[@macrumpton]

It seems like the least aerodynamic element is the pilot. I am surprised they don't do something about that.

[@TheRealDuckofDeath]

Weight is required. I think, most of them weight 100+ kilos. The more they weigh, the bigger the rig can be.
