WE BUILT the PERFECT WINDSURF VAN (full tour) !

[@mirfalltkeinnicernameein9475]

It’s crazy wow. I just recently found ur channel and I realized how sick ur channel is. It feels like ur living my dream…having a perfect van, a huge surf shop, always the perfect equipment, living at a surfing spot throughout the whole year…

[@demiryazc5021]

Well there is something that will be in every windsurfers dream now. SICK 🔥

[@TomEliaerts]

Does the van come with the gear? 🤔😆 Very nice van! A dream for all windsurfers!

[@JonassTass]

Imagine if it did...

[@pauliussubacius7527]

With the gear and Nico as an instructor for whole season

[@wind-surfer]

Congratulation to this nice Van. Do you have a heating System in the car? To keep yourself, the stuff and that big car dry and warm, passing the cold Areas on your way to Tarifa or even here at the Baltic Sea. ;-)

[@davidathlete2860]

This van just a dream for every windsurfer 🤙🏻🔥

[@2kcars507]

Great idea to keep the layout minimal and variable.

[@wewen06600]

Hey Nico, thanks for the high quality video as always. Do you think you could make a video about the mistakes to avoid in windsurfing to prevent back injuries? It seems to me that many people quit windsurfing due to back injuries and it also prevents some people to get into windsurfing. I myself have spinal pain after intense sessions, and I'd love to know what to do in order to avoid them. Thanks again, and keep up the good videos!

[@mateimc]

Actually that would be a great idea Nico, I keep going to the same spot in Greece every year and I got quite acquainted with the people from the surf shack. I realized that absolutely all the lady windsurfers (instructors or just people from there) are having some sort of back problem. Did not see a similar correlation within the guys from there though.

[@sharewavestv]

Glück und Segen auf all Deinen Wegen. Den Spruch finde ich immer wieder passend und schön.

[@stefanneuber748]

What a Dream to get a car like this. I always need to stuff my gear on the roof an that sucks in high wind conditions by loading and driving. Wish you many many nice trips and big thanks to Van tourer to make such dreams come true.

[@dilligaf2818]

100% quality product !!!

[@alanglendon6506]

What a cool van, the bed is a brilliant idea!!

[@martinbailly573]

SUPER NICE !!! Enjoy your time in it !

[@pauliussubacius7527]

Looks very cool. Wish you lots of happy moments while using it.

[@j_kas4884]

Now take this beautiful van and go to laguna naxos greece , literally a paradise for windsurfing

[@BasecampersCampervans]

Please can I ask what you have used for the adjustable cross bars. We can get a similar rail system for the side of the van, but struggling to find the cross bars with the correct fixing to go into the holes? All the best.

[@clement5980]

the best van i ever seen before. i hope i will have the same one day

[@RYTISJAS]

Such an amazing car - thanks for the breakfast in Silvaplana

[@nordseecampinginlee6878]

Hi Nico, super Van, was ist aus dem Projekt geworden? Ich würde gerne wissen was der Van kostet und wo man Ihn kaufen kann.

[@jcbwng]

Epic. An obvious upgrade would be to close the environment for the gear and have good ventilation there, so you can be in the van and sleep there in a non-smelly, non-damp environment....

[@danerik.westerlind]

Yes, that van is a dream! 👍

[@berengereguery4273]

Hi, Great van ! What are the dimensions of the garage please ? Especially the length / depth ? I see a lot at 2.2 m but how do fit your slalom boards ?

[@anthonycharlton7697]

Looks epic! Perfect for the PWA roadtrips

[@vinylee416]

Nice design! The drawers are called "soft close" drawers.

[@drwindsurf]

Congratulations Nico 🥳 That is a sweet ride 👍

[@stewbeedoo5921]

Love your videos and the van looks awesome. What is that racking system you use for your boards? I’m trying to find something similar. Thanks

[@borajosef7482]

Wow Man sooo cooll The van is sick hope yolu hava a great time ın the van

[@hanspeterpedal8445]

We need more brands with these kind of vans in europe! perfect for off the grid, mountainbikers, dog owners, etc. Outsidevan from US is also producing stuff like that, but not available in EU. looking foreward to see something new from Vantourer 😍!

[@Berowne]

Hey Nico... where do you get the vertical rails and expanding cross bars, they look really adaptable to any layout!

[@gh0strid3r92]

im searching those too!!

[@marcschumacher1358]

Yeah, I've got the same question.

[@artem4ik_sail]

Great Van! Keep it up and running, hope will make your life more comfortable and convenient! Wish I had such some day..

[@marcosgallodgp]

Damn! any windsurfer would love to have that van! incredible

[@lucdesmedt1577]

Hey Nico, in the next videos can you bring up please how to use the adjustable outhaul before jibing and after ? Is the (cam or no-cam)rotation more easily when releasing a bit outhaul (which in fact is a downhaul issue) ? Will the battens flip smoothly when outhaul is released? Thx! Luc (Belgium)

[@abiliodinis746]

Hello! Congrats for the van, where is the shower and the wc??

[@simonepinto1388]

Hi Nico, I'm a beginner here and I started watching your vids, they are very well done, even though I feel they are more oriented towards more advanced windsurfers. I just learned how to tack and I'm getting slowly used to the harness, but I'm having huge problems as I fear the catapult (both hooked and unhooked), it's dangerous for me and the gear as I get launched towards the nose and the rig crashes heavily on the board, I already hammered a hole in it unfortunately. Would you consider a video, guide or anything about it? I feel like it's a common issue among beginners like me, it would be incredibly helpful. Thanks and keep up yhe good work!

[@GermanOchoa509]

nice ride man!!!!!

[@talhappy]

Sheeeesh the van is fire🔥🔥

[@Andaluciaerestu]

congratulations Nico, nice Van.. see you in Tarifa parkingss 🙏

[@linuso6404]

Mein Traum! So einen Bus zu haben, und jedes bisschen Material einfach reinschmeißen zu können, ist das beste was einem passieren kann. Ich überlege zwar, mir den Bus auszubauen, und den bewohnbar zu machen, und Surfzeug im Anhänger mitzunehmen, damit man unabhängiger ist, und einfach am Spot bleiben kann. Aber auf jeden Fall auch so ein krankes Teil! Btw, denke beim Auto an z.B. einen VW T4/5, da die nicht so viel kosten

[@krasensimeonov2893]

Hey man, greetings from Bulgaria. I really like u, because the way u look at the world is similar as mine and I grew up with the windsurfing and u became my best surf youtuber to watch so....keep going😁🏄‍♂️

[@Davidallen9]

Awesome van. So jealous

[@arngureller8326]

This is The best van I seen in my whole life 😍😍

[@markmalekian4383]

Nice! You looks so happy:)

[@nikemie1]

Nice Van , but it’s more like a BUS. Love the Bed mechanism. Enjoyed it 🤙🏻

[@mike290693]

What adjustable racking system are you using in the back?

[@niekbaars8848]

Love your video’s bro, they help me a lot to improve 💪🤙

[@seanwalker427]

I'll dream about it next night. Very cool bus!🥰

[@hpefr1111]

nice video. what is the budget for that van configuration ?

[@mmilhazes]

WOW!! Dream van!! 👏👏🔥🔥

[@paskrell]

Can you put boards on the roof too? Could be nice to pack, drive and when in destination have more space

[@leoncoetsier5831]

Nice van, looked forward for this video.😀

[@quintenvana]

**so you can prevent your stuf from sliding forward** smart choice XD. Nice van nico, hope to see it irl soon!

[@marcschumacher1358]

Hey Nico, I always enjoy your videos. Could you send me the info what kind of bars these are that you are using in this car. They seem to be flexible in length. Cheers, Marc from Trier

[@gh0strid3r92]

wie heißt das regalsystem, dass du da verbaut hast??? ich suche genau sowas für meinen anhänger :(

[@kylepark2765]

So good 👍 I want to buy it. How much it? What budget can you buy?

[@alexanderhamburg4653]

Hey Nico. Traum Van! Verrätst Du etwas mehr darüber...wie sind die Außenmaße, geht Equipment auch aufs Dach, wie ist der Preis, und welche Anpassungen würdest Du inzwischen noch machen? Cheers 🤙 Alex

[@ciaphas2037]

Van obviously very sweet, but if you want to know the English phrase for slow closing cupboards/drawers, they would be called "soft close drawers".

[@thorstenc7342]

Hallo Nico, die Frage nach dem Gestellsystem hast Du leider nicht beantwortet. Hast Du schon eine ideale Höhe zwischen den einzelnen Querbalken gefunden? Bzw. welche Höhe muß man einplanen pro Board inklusive Bag? So ca. 25 cm? Wie sieht es mit "Gummibändern" zum sichern der Boards, Masten oder Gabeln aus? Ich werde mir jetzt wohl einen Anhänger (vermutlich Koch) anschaffen, da ich ohne Autodach 😇 etwas Transportprobleme habe 😂

[@e.stinson4121]

Really so very nice.

[@benoitlaberge6380]

I want the same !!! 🤩🤙🏼

[@heneedsomemilk2877]

Verdammt geil, man !

[@musicandme6697]

How can I find out what horizontal supports fixings you are using for your racking system for the boards and sails and where I can get them?

[@Nico_GER7]

They are called Airline Rails

[@musicandme6697]

@@Nico_GER7 Thanks, its a great system.

[@marcschumacher1358]

Aaaah... There it is

[@aurelianjohn-herpin1314]

I want one 🤩

[@Moto_One]

Traum eines jeden Surfers! Sieht unglaublich aus :-D

[@tristannoels6159]

This is fun

[@Teamspeedfunaddiction]

C'est vraiment de la balle!! Combien ça vaut Nico? Merci

[@DamienMarecaux]

Very cool design indeed. It's awesome for a couple, but i can see the challenge for a familly with 2 teenagers :). You were sort of shy on the price tag too :) a quick question: did they fit it in directly with a LPG tank for the heating?

[@adambrickley1119]

You can stick a poptop even in high roof vans. Good solution for a kids room.

[@afd3206]

Great van!! BUT: you can eat but cannot "uneat" ;). You can sweat sailing, but cannot unsweat. Strange they did not manage all that in 7m. If you come back again this winter to the island with the big volcano, i show you my van.

[@albertgoller4064]

Best design I have seen and I really surfed the www. There are some Canadian companies with the bed solution but there is no way to store the stuff inside. Is it a four-wheel drive? I live in Australia and we have some dirt roads where you need that. Do you have still the possibility to put something on the roof? Well done.

[@whatotter9094]

I think there is a windsurfing tv video of Marc parés van that has a double bed and full internal storage

[@katiaricci9296]

Hi, I've been following your channel for a long time and everything in your videos has always been spectacular. The sessions are great, the quality is fantastic... this channel is absolutely brilliant and you helped me a lot with the majority of my curiosities about windsurfing, thank you so much, I appreciate everything you do on KZbin, good job! Anyway, I would like to make a suggestion (if it's not a problem for you): I'm convinced that you can add a really funny video on your channel to show us some of the funniest things happened while windsurfing, swimming or even during other water activities, I was thinking of something like a "oops and bloopers" compilation. For example, you could gather all of the times where you or your even your friends get recorded on video during ops times... like a pee time! Once, my uncle, who is a surfer, had a pee in his wetsuit on his surfboard while we were waiting for a wave, it was soooo hilarious and funny that I almost died 😊. He always tells me there are 2 types of swimmers, divers and surfers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. If you want, you could also include those "releasing" moments as small clips in the future videos just to keep having a bit of humor on your channel, you can use both old and new clips, what do you think? Yeah… I know, it could sound weird for your right now, but, in my opinion, it's the funniest thing about surfers and swimmers, believe me. When a windsurfer pees in the water, I think they demonstrate to be someone who is not afraid of consequences or to be judged and they just enjoy the moment, no matter what happens. And if you can't tell when someone else does it, well, you could ask them to do a particular sign before they do it, I think it's something that can come out great! I'd be so so happy to watch it, let me know, have a wonderful day!

[@roy87345]

Very nice!

[@kenjichanhkg]

Maybe it’s a good idea to have a foldable wind turbine at the top of the van

[@mindofown]

Love it I want one

[@herrb.6696]

Hi Nico, is that a 4x4?

[@edwald1]

Phoe! Very nice van 🤙

[@iainarthur7713]

Fantastic

[@JonassTass]

Cool vid bro.. i just hit my highest speed on water yesterday. It was amazing and a lil bit scary

[@oceanguardwatersafetyservi1279]

What is the bed called? What brand? Who makes them?

[@veovans]

Richtig gut. So viel Platz.

[@christophmieder8862]

Traum!

[@athertones1775]

great socks dude :)

[@wetchicken8533]

Can you give us an idea of pricing of such a van ?

[@marcw.3342]

Sorry the van from marc pare has more space and where is the place for the 🚾? So far as I remember there isn't a toilet on most beaches around Tarifa. But honestly van looks great and for sure better than Marios van ;-)

[@Nico_GER7]

A) Why sorry? 😄 B) Yeah, because it has a higher roof, thus higher fuel consumption. Relative to the space available in the car, I don't think his car has more space available. It's like saying a 35t truck has more space available. cabin

[@kassfahany8801]

How much does it cost. Execellt solution for the bed

[@borisderuyter9430]

very nice!!

[@Alex-zg5qg]

¿Where is the best place to buy a windsurf kit?

[@ScrattleGG]

Whoa nice ride! Can adults stand up inside it as well?

[@Nico_GER7]

because I'm a child? 😄😄

[@zokinjo1]

What is the reason/purpose to have the key for to bring down/lift your bed, buddy? I am just asking for my friend...🤔😆

[@nikolaymuranov6267]

Cool van! Don't want to disturb the guys there coz I'm not going to buy it anyway but could u call the price range at least?

[@ADL1337]

damn that must be so cool to have

[@meridi4ns155]

yoo a dreamcar for windsurfers

[@genoano4]

Any AC? In the accommodation area? That the only thing missing

[@Nico_GER7]

No need where I hang out. I actually don’t know of any German Van, which has this.

[@PonyhofKiel]

Feine Hütte - wie viele Ponys hat der denn unter der Haube?

[@slickvisualpoetry]

Great van! I would have loved the whole thing to be electrified. But I guess the batteries (I guess you'd need ca. 200 kWh) would have made it even more expensive.

[@2kcars507]

Full electric would not be very practical for longer trips- such as Northern Germany to Tarifa.

[@slickvisualpoetry]

@@2kcars507 depends with 800 volt technology and 350 kW charging at ionity a 200 kWh battery would be feasible. 10 to 80 percent charge would take you round about 30 minutes. Taking a break every 350 km might seem like a pain at first, but actually it's better for a number of reasons.

[@rickderocker]

Where can I buy??

[@maartenpluim8954]

Holy shit😍😍

[@noahzink3000]

Good Video

[@Willy-Wind]

@ 4:14 : they are called soft-close.

When is the next video?

[@olafbienengraber2217]

Moin, Nichts für ungut, aber mein sonst geplanter und dann entsprechend gebauter Sprinter war noch variabler als deine r - der hatte ein Extra Hochdach und dementsprechend mehr Platz. Auch im Bett😁 Dennoch viel Spaß mit der Karre! Gruß Olaf

[@Nico_GER7]

Jeder hat andere Ansprüche an seinen Van. Man könnte ja auch einen LKW ausbauen.

[@paoloeb]

can secure it also to prenvent the load from smashing your van screen, again... :-P :-D

[@Nico_GER7]

yes it can haha

[@nigelw.9043]

really nice however I am not fan of the dark interior. A) it doesn't look clean for long, B) travelling in spring and autumn with limited sunshine it's kind of a cave atmosphere but I suppose that's down to personal preferences. @windsurfing.TV Ben, I think you want to talk to Nico about van projects :o)
