Windsurfing through hurricane conditions - Red Bull Storm Chase Final 2014

Need more adventure in your life? Click here: win.gs/1aXUVRM
Frenchman Thomas Traversa was crowned the champion of the storm surfing universe. Despite weighing just 60 kilos, Traversa won the final leg of the Red Bull Storm Chase in hurricane conditions off the coast of Cornwall, UK, in front of Marcilio Browne from Brazil and Leon Jamaer from Germany.
With building-high waves and gusts of wind reaching 70 knots, only the best were nominated to participate in the "Red Bull Storm Chase". During an 18-month holding-period, ten of the world's best windsurfers waited patiently to catch three of the biggest storms on oceans around the globe to determine who was the very best. After Mission 1 in Ireland (January 2013) and a second mission in Tasmania, Australia (August 2013), Red Bull Storm Chase picked the storm-ravaged coast of Cornwall, U.K., for the third and final location for a showdown between the remaining four.

[@imdman118]

i love you red bull, I don't drink energy drinks, but your shows make life so much more interesting.

[@Maharbaflores]

These guys look supernatural. I was thinking if someone from out of this world would take a look at what these guys are doing. They would say these guys are crazy. Awesome footage.

[@TheFireblade1000RR]

[@alveer3321]

[@MrSimonetbenoit]

The only thing I didn't have on my last windsurfing spin was the equipment, the helicopter, the Jet skis, the cameras and the sponsor...No Red Bull...just some beers afta...

[@playerone1431]

guys simply superheros. please, advice some longer documentary about storm windsurfing, thanks

[@Averno667]

I miss my equipment, I miss the waves and I miss my total lack of fear from when I was 20. Today I would probably watch it from my car. Great surf and great surfers.!!!

[@kasuomiyake]

+averno schaller go Raceboard Windsurfing or SUP hybrid SUP and Windsurfing. Lots of fun too (and safer!)

[@Averno667]

+Kasuo Miyake I might take a look at it. :-)

[@tavhdog]

Rebar tree

[@kunstmol]

[@redbull]

[@MARCELLO6859]

Very massive condition! Maximun respect for the guests!!!

[@CptSushi]

Wow.. I never thought a KZbin Video could get my heart pumping so fast.. Respect!

[@jfoss1974]

Anyone out in those conditions deserves a trophy in my my book!

[@CabrioDriving]

It looks great in 1 of these 50 shots when he does not tumble with waves after being hit :)

[@charlotterct]

thomas traversa 😍 the best windsurfer in the world

[@roadboat9216]

Absolutely total and utterly insane!!

[@billallwell6507]

Crazy stuff. Balls of steel though.

[@DookLeto]

[@hoz40]

That was St Micheal's Mount, I've been there, it's a pretty amazing place, unbelievable how rough those waves are there!

[@RaulEdu33]

4 hurricanes thumb down this video. These guys have some serious cojones!

[@Igor-g6d3p]

Thanks a lot Brooouhzy!

[@janburgers5832]

Crazy, 60 knots is solid air, no joke

[@Bangkok.eye.automotive]

Awesome aerial!

[@thomasthoumout5193]

Epic !! #Traversa

[@justinrussell3166]

These guys are gnarly!!!

[@JacobHayden]

Awesome video great footage they have no fear and you have to for that its freezing cold and the power of those waves can kill you quick great job to all the people evolved with event

[@Sd3ff]

Crazy Guys. I like it to watch them surfing. :)

[@arielpicco838]

Felicitaciones, son unos dementes, jajaja. bien filmado y con efectos

[@patriziolari]

that was cool!

[@oscarnitz4923]

1:39 "it's so windy it's hard to hold onto the sail" Thanks captain obvious, i hadn't noticed xD Awesome vid though.

[@georgejohnson1124]

COW-A-BUNGA DUDES!!! Some righteous airtime..............

[@amaurygantet555]

Awesome video, we need a KITESURF VERSION !!!!

[@SuperThons]

It is close to impossible to kitesurf in those conditions as kitesurfing needs lighter winds than windsurf. Usually even when you've got 30-40 knots, you leave your kite home and go for a really good windsurfing session.

[@skipidip263]

You boys don’t have the balls for this

[@Pianohunters]

Machines. Just Respect!!

[@jamesofsuburbia1]

Paul van Bellen should have made this video

[@StephanOudmaijer]

Insane! Respect!

[@aburgheim]

WOW windsurfing has come/flown a long way!! Whats next? Round the globe in 3 days?

[@HamburgdasTorzurWelt]

[@lloydstuart7862]

2:01 The sailor and board instantly vanish into the white ! The sea state makes them look so tiny and irrelevent ... hanging on for their life ... Imagine the water starts, trying to get up and out before the next monster dumps on you as you are being ripped back out to sea !

[@kennethmay9002]
