Windsurfing Diamond Head Oahu

[@늘푸른바다-g2y]

환상적인 영상이네요..

[@windsurfer]

헤헤 정말 감사합니다!

[@frassepelle7444]

I agree with Pavel, one of the best Windsurfing videos I've seen in a long time. Also, love the attitude... going out in 5 knots and making the most of it. Real windsurfer!

[@windsurfer]

Great thanks for the encouragement.... yeah a lot of windsurfing is grovelling around... I tried to capture that in the video.

[@Nawona]

Wow I can't believe I missed that one. Paul your drone shots are like moving postcards in HD , pure visual bliss, perfect editing and music choice to describe the mood of your days there, it's like being transported with you guys in the holy land of summer wavesailing, THANKS !

[@windsurfer]

Thanks so much for the positive review Nawona!

[@mblue8]

So nice to include some struggling. Beautiful

[@windsurfer]

Cheers Magnus glad you liked that aspect of the video!

[@TRUMP2four]

Awesome plus the beginning music is from my favorite all time tv show...Miami Vice...heck yay

[@windsurfer]

Ha cool Kevin!

[@mgumodena]

Yeaaaahhh!!! Miami Vice plus Diamond Head... it doesn’t get any better than that! Great intro and great video, reminds me of Robby Naish’s R.I.P., well done Paul! “Windsurfing since ‘79”

[@windsurfer]

mgumodena Cheers! Yeah I could feel the Robby Naish vibe in Oahu... it was super cool to experience Diamond Head!

[@Westcoastwindsurf]

This has got to be one of the best Windsurfing videos on KZbin. Absolutely beautiful!

[@windsurfer]

Pavel Filkov cheers mate!

[@eneoradohoxha5409]

One of the best windsurfing videos out there. Keep on!

[@windsurfer]

That's kind of you mate cheers!

[@Kwood10]

Awesome! So fun 👍🏻

[@windsurfer]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@jrudmanjr]

Thanks for bringing back great memories. Windsurfed with Josh on the first crossing to Oahu. I believe it was related to lifeguard awereness. Diamond head is so beautiful. Those guys had that little piece of paradise to themselves.

[@windsurfer]

james rudman yeah I had that sense of history at Diamond Head.... thanks for sharing your story mate!

[@jrudmanjr]

@@windsurfer great filmmaking by the way.

[@yorkbrick]

Epic old school Miami Vice soundtrack opening track. Hats off! Yeah and the vid is awesome too!

[@windsurfer]

Yeah I like that Miami Vice tune too!

[@yorkbrick]

@@windsurfer Why why, I keep watching... got the bug

[@childsname7294]

This beautiful YT video captures the essence of what it really is/was like to sail at Diamond Head on an average day. From the trek down the cliff to the shower pipe where you washed your gear off, it brings back memories of those days in 1985 - 2000 when I was a regular at DH.

[@windsurfer]

😀👍

[@Wacoal34d]

Absolutely gorgeous shots of Waikiki.... and Diamond Head. You have raised your own bar!

[@windsurfer]

Cheers Martin.... I enjoy getting the images as much as I like to windsurf :)

[@Wacoal34d]

I must compliment your music choices also... your choice of relatively laid back tracks is perfect, suggests a 5 star windsurfing life! The opening music in this video reminded me a lot of Top Gun. Waikiki is such a beautiful place. I stayed at the Halekulani and really loved the sunset maitais with traditional hawaiian song and dance. Hope you can do another trip to Maui next time!

[@windsurfer]

Choosing the music is the best part! :)

Paul, you are a master. The best windsurf filming. I love your videos. Trust you had a great time on Ohau. Can't wait to see more.

Amazing footage. Great job!

[@windsurfer]

Cheers!

[@wingfocus9379]

Mate, great vids all round. They bring back memories of so many years on the road sailing and surfing my life away. So awesome. Just I didn't have a drone to capture what you've captured. You've done a brilliant job editing editing the footage. There aren't that many vids around which capture the essence of windsurfing in speed, wave and the environment we sail in. Keep 'em coming. Cheers.

[@windsurfer]

Thanks WingFocus, really appreciate the positive feedback. Hopefully I'll have a few more coming this year.

[@Raccoonov]

Can’t agree more 🤙🏼

[@francoisrougier4342]

Excellent video, the idea to use the excellent Miami Vice theme emphases the beauty of your images of thre bay. This teases to go there !

[@windsurfer]

Francois Rougier thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

[@tuba-inxs]

Crockett's Theme and float and ride windsurfing: a brilliant combination! I was watching Miami Vice the other day, and was like: "hey, the Hawaii drone song!".

[@windsurfer]

Ha cool Eric!

Niels van Wessem 🤙

[@alexcave7573]

Good waterstart 4:31 + super spin out at 5:53 - I wonder how quickly he got his board sticking to the water again ? Great camera zooms out at 6:46 and 8:37 And 8:56 eek - wonder how he uphauled the rig on such low volume board as not enough wind for waterstart. Nice relaxed + calming video.

[@windsurfer]

Glad you enjoyed it Alex!

Amazing spot, amazing video, really nice to see... people seem to be suffering ;-)

[@windsurfer]

Glad you enjoyed it mate.

[@toddmulligan2609]

I love seeing the random parts... a wave breaking over a rig in the water... the odd gybes.... shots of the reef/rocks... its a really complete depiction of the day. I’m curious about the reality of it and the “super rad extreme “ smash cut videos don’t show that stuff

[@windsurfer]

That's cool you appreciated the details mate!

[@WindsurfingNelson]

You caught the atmosphere of that place so nicely that I watched it right away! Well done. (Again, haha!). I like this kind of windsurfing promotion much better than all the "loud stuff".

[@windsurfer]

Cool thanks! That's a great compliment mate....yeah I like the relaxed nature of windsurfing too..... you can have heaps of fun in 5-15 knots as well!

[@achimkleiner]

Bin beindruckt! (stoked)

You certainly live it up, makes me jealous. Good old eighties music, love it. Western Australia great for windsurfing, the Fremantle dr winds. Sorento point, Perth.

[@571Frederik]

wow, you have amazing controle over your drone, well done! what drone do you use? Phantom pro? I have a magic pro, but it doesn't seem to be that responsive or doesn't accelerate fast enough to get a good level of tracking somebody while riding a wave down the line. Maybe I need to flip it into sport mode?...

[@windsurfer]

Frederik claeys thanks mate yeah I use the phantom 4 and always in sport mode for windsurfing.

[@571Frederik]

@@windsurfer, yeah thats what I should try next time, thx for the tip, i'm still learning, this is what i've done so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mICZd4ygfrKWors so still a lot to learn, good fun

weird question....how far can you sail on a windsurfing board...like can you grab a backpack and sail for a few days ?

[@windsurfer]

Yeah you could! It's just another sailing vessel. You'd want good sun protection, an EPIRB and lots of water!

[@djjoe2004]

Hey Paul, I’m going to Hawaii in July. I’m thinking to rent a windsurf and ride Diamonds head. Did you rent or did you bring your own equipment ? Who knows, maybe you’ll be their too! :)

Super cool Matthieu! Hopefully you score mate. I took my gear with me. I’m not sure if you can rent gear easily on Oahu.

[@djjoe2004]

@@windsurfer I think I saw some rental places on Oahu. I can’t go to Hawaii and not windsurf at least once! ;) Are you in Australia those days? After Hawaii I’ll be in France where I grew up. Have you windsurf in France?

Pretty mediocre windsurfing but it is great to see amateurs enjoy the sailing and making spinouts and other errors like we all do
