Moin from Hamburg. Fun sailing

[@mpv13]

Love your vids. Go there for a happy place. I've been windsurfing since 1987 in S. FL. ( Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Pompano Beach 16th street, and Virginia Key Miami) and some competitions at Calema in Merritt Island and the Inlet- to-Inlet race (I-to-I.org) and a couple of Gorge visits in the late 80s and early 90s. My dream is to sail at Ho'okipa one day. I had tickets for the full month of May 2020 but ...Covid. Your vids keep the fire burning and give me confidence that I can still have fun there even though I am way way way past my modest prime.

[@MakaiMauka]

Kidding, thanks for sharing.....feels real watching you!

[@AP_alias]

another great video! thank you

[@willnicholls5]

Awesome video! Really interesting to get a raw perspective of the windsurfing at Ho'okipa.

[@Guillermo-zf5cj]

Thanks for sharing it! For those of us who never sailed hookipa it gives us a very realistic perspective. Love the raw format. Till the next session!!

[@oliverkagi]

great stuff!

[@Heilsberghexe]

Nice video - I like the uncut style. Makes me taking part of the session! You could mention which stuff you are riding (size of sail, board). Thank you!

[@koav]

Cheers! All of the equipment I am using in each session is listed in the video description.

[@Heilsberghexe]

@@koav my apologies, did not capture that. Keep on going, I’ll leave to Southern France next week and enjoy some wind and waves 🌊.

[@geamit4]

Great as always😄

[@geamit4]

Can you share how does your camera mount look like?

[@koav]

Yes, I will post a photo on my IG page soon to show the camera mount.

[@MakaiMauka]

Uncrowded! Tsunami alert?

[@windsurf_only]

Great videos! How do you do to don't have any water drops on the lens? Your videos are really clear even after diving or surrounded by white water

[@koav]

@windsurfyotrascosas5205 Thank you. I am using the GoPro10 which comes with a hydrophilic coating on the lens cover. The trick is to clean the cover before you hit the water and then never touch the lens cover while your sailing... the oils on your hand will cause water droplets to collect on the lens.

[@costawindsurfchannel1844]

Great! How long your GoPro battery lasts by the way… 😅

[@koav]

Each batter lasts for about an hour... I switched batteries halfway through this session.

[@HWelli-u6q]

Are you sailing on a Pyramid? Does ist have Four fins!?

[@koav]

The board in this video is one of Levi's older custom Quad with production graphics.

[@humansaremonkeys]

Graphic on the nose makes all the difference!

[@yvescr]

Am i the only one who saw the (maybe) seal just in front of you at 24:30 ?

[@koav]

Good eyes, that was a turtle that I almost hit.

[@allagreta9990]

Cant look at hardly any buojancy. 105 lit. Would be way smoother with no loss of maneuverability

[@henricwiegenbroeker8225]

And would a slightly bigger sail also help to get you planing faster?

[@PROJECT_936_dot_NET]

Hey, mate! Just wanted to give you a fair dinkum shoutout for the top-notch job you're doing with your KZbin videos. I stumbled upon your channel this week, and I reckon it's the bee's knees. I'm having a ripper time visiting your channel and getting a kick out of your awesome content. Keen as a mustard to see more of your stellar work, mate. Have a ripper week and keep up the legends!
