Gold medal for the drone pilot! It's the tracking shot that shows how crazily on the edge they are ... good job boys!

[@grzegorzkruk2109]

Drone footage can make more for windsurfing than any other promoting PR action! Keep going guys!

[@vyleart4488]

I love how this drone shot video shows finally how much marketing potential windsurf has when it comes to slalom racing. I would watch anytime! Especially if it had all the extra video indications that the America’s cup has (i.e start line, arrival line, racer’s speed and so on). Great work!

[@sterlingkevin7446]

you all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

@Sterling Kevin Instablaster ;)

[@sterlingkevin7446]

@Victor Diego thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@sterlingkevin7446]

@Victor Diego It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

[@victordiego7791]

@Sterling Kevin No problem xD

[@apbianco]

Awesome drone footage indeed - I've never seen anything like that.

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

Elevates the sport to another level

[@AdiAsaf]

Pretty amazing

[@eduardoserrano3437]

Again....best sport of the world!! Ben does such a great job, and the racers screaming!!! What a beautiful epic race

[@Nikolai.Zhavoronkov]

Great race! And thank you Ben! You are the best windsurfing commentator ever! Really professional job.

[@MrGiuse72]

I watch this periodically...from time to time : IT actually IS the best slalom race EVER !!!

[@tadej255]

This is legendary footage!

[@High5DIY]

This one will stay in memories as did some big dual fights we had back in the past between Anders and Bjorn.. thanks for sharing guys, keep posting we’ll keep watching! Windsurf for Life

[@joepinkston6842]

Amazing race, but that was also some phenomenal commentating. It really adds to the tension. Give that man a raise.

[@neil2385]

Amazing footage boys ! We have never seen anything as good as this before. Thank you !!!!

[@kiwikernow]

I was cameraman on the PBA tour in the early 1990's and got some great aerial footage by hanging a small Hi8 video camera on the tail of a dual cord stunt kite...but this drone footage is stunning, Oscar winning footage...so good to see 25 years on from my early days of filming...envious ? yes...the Go Pro inventors deserve world recognition in all sports. RK.

[@Strunz860]

Both of them simply make another sport versus all the others...great respect!!!

[@petersangels3268]

that was epic, love the drone shot! big improvements

[@heiopeiko]

Wow, what a race. Antoine just has the most Albeau-grease to push the limit.

[@cheellis8401]

I don't even wind surf and this is an amazing race. I'm hooked.

[@iainarthur7713]

Great race, great footage and fantastic commentary - well done everyone !

[@cmoidudu8104]

Amazing race, amazing footage, excellent drone pilot !!

[@dns13webservices7]

Whaaa SICK!! Awesome race, awesome droning, Love it!

[@davidbataille406]

Du lourd cette finale... enfin du suspens, c'est magique. Quant au drone, rien à redire, enfin de la vraie vidéo, magnifique...il manque juste la vitesse en temps réel pour se faire une idée mais on sent que ca bombarde grave pour les 2 devant.. et les autres aussi ceci dit

[@wordreet]

Absolutely on the limit stuff!! Conditions not easy and bad luck in spite of putting in tremendous effort! Subscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SolePilatesNYLocustValleyNY]

I may have to go dust off my old John Parton Pro Tech and get some new sails! This had my balls tingling!!

[@digitalbrother834]

Best slalom heat ever! Nice commentary Ben!

[@campeon]

Does not get old this video. Great footage and race

[@neriofinol2797]

Love to see our team @airmedia360 do this shoot. @neriofinol the pilot and @odingarcia_ the camera Operator. Epic😎

[@jcrio9014]

Nerio Finol Good stuff!

[@doptimist]

Spectacular!? Well done!

[@pierrebergeron956]

Yeah, kudos to the team. I don't know how you guys got involved/contracted to do this, but I remember feeling very sad when the team had to leave before the end of the event (to go do movie shoots for a Star Wars production, wasn't it?). Sure hope you're back for next year, and please, clear you calendar next time!

[@sharewavestv]

Great Show! Nice to see the passion of all riders

[@adbouwens1111]

Fantastic video. And what a speed in those conditions!! Chapeau!

[@federcor]

Top Race & Top Show!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@alanyesilipek7959]

amazeing. on the edge of control. süper fast race. such a great sport.

[@mnmaurer]

Epic! Great job, Ben..... Best sport!

[@zigzag4273]

This sport looks beautiful.

[@JamJar61RS]

It is amazing in strong winds so much fun!!

[@q2w8i9o]

Over 1/2 millions views for an epic windsurfing race, that is very good🎉🎉

[@madwindsurfer]

Awesome!! Super high level

[@johnphillips4733]

Wow. That was amazing to watch.

[@surfmagazintv]

Great racing, great commentating! Thumbs up!

[@umagi3d808]

Amazing race in the perfect setting! Lucky guys...

[@dengordo]

That was epic. Matteo - facepalm, Albeau - well done!

[@kizzmiazzz]

are you kidding? he delivered 1st class head to head racing action and nearly got albeau. props to him for that race and congratulations to albeau for the win. epic footage of an epic battle. but definitely both riders deserved to win.

[@clemens3314]

BuzzDee definitely this time it would be nice if there would be 2 first places. In my opinion: Better jibes: matteo, faster: Albeau

[@BruceHarms]

Whaaaaat! Oh man the best windsurf race vern seen ... that should becoe the new standard

[@adayinthelife5772]

I'm into kitesurfig, not windsurfing but that was epic. They were flying !!!

[@kwakakak]

Albeau is such a legend

[@alummis]

Yes, if it’s not the best race, it’s the best race I’ve ever seen!

[@richarddavis1599]

Inspire II drone. 1 Person controlling the drone itself and another with a controller doing the camerawork. Good teamwork 👍

[@45DegreesSailing]

Waaaaat!? That was insane!

[@0legis]

And now Blanca and Sarah have done another epic one in fuerte 2023 (1st day, last final) :)

[@prospermatkovic5559]

Fantastic! Epic race :)

[@cobranr1]

Still one of the best moments and commentaries

[@lucienlagrange38]

Great job !

[@ceciliayu9826]

So impressive to watch them!!!!!

[@frontloop71]

this is so epic!

[@jos_t_band3912]

Great drone footage

[@MrBoomic]

Cant stop watching

[@dje949]

OMG more plz !!!

[@mattlewandowski5765]

nice slalom race battle. nice footage. upload more :)

[@bigfefu]

Best slalom ever... windsurfing level legend

[@dustintravis8791]

I remember this race, it was epic! Do you think Antoine pinched him by angling upwind to try for an interference call or did they just naturally kind of merge into each other's lane and Matteo just ran into some rough chop right at the same time? It's kind of hard to see since we're not directly overhead but it just seems like they got super close all of a sudden so I've always been curious what really happened here.

[@giorgiocarpi6530]

They were on different size boards. Iachino went for speed, and chose his highwind board. Albeau stayed with his medium wind one. This led to somewhat superior speed in the reaches for Iachino, but superior power in Albeau's hands. The masterpiece jibe of Iachino around the last outside mark was also a real mistake, as he placed himself upwind of Albeau, so that he found his path for a faster downwind run closed by Albeau's ability to push more and go higher. This is what I understood (the board choice is real, Iachino in an interview said he wanted to "gun down" AA using his fastest kit). Anyhow: epic.

[@chrisisinthehouse1]

The footage was awesome but the play-by-play also epic

[@greysmile1]

That is insane!

[@BrunoCunha67]

That was epic. Very harsh conditions.

[@arnoldstollar5375]

Great film.

[@itisjustacomment]

Oh, look at the conditions. It couldn't get any better. Remember winning my first race at 18 was so happy but I never win again for a year lol. To win this must have been amazing they were right on the edge And taking big risks in the turns in that swell lucky it was with them on the final turn.

[@America_Number1]

Absolutely legendary mateo wanted it bad

[@alanyesilipek7959]

Legendary

[@wildandbarefoot]

Yes! It's a phenomenal race. All the better for the amazing footage. NOW- get some on screen adverts going- even just a t icker tape at the bottom. Fosters, baccardi would be silly to miss the opportunity. Sports sponsorship is huge

[@Leowavekid]

Wow... Epic and Damn.. define this to the T!.. 😃

[@steveleslie7484]

Epic race. 🤙🤙🤙

[@raphaelmalavieille6509]

there's probably a steady 25 knots with gusts of 30 and these guys are rocking what seem to be 8m sails ^^

[@StavrosD]

At 2:43, did the mast touch the other sail? Is it possible that because of the close distance the wind flow was increased and due to the bernoulli effect the one sail pulled the other one?

[@grady.stu.8300]

Those guys are moving!

[@77procha]

Top race !!!

[@jimbryan74]

Great great race.

[@lavieestmusique7229]

Albeau toujours le meilleur

[@hpefr1111]

Legent final, epic

[@michaelphantasie2039]

Insane!

[@MrJonLott]

How fast do you think they were going?

[@stephaniemeys8085]

Whooow,awesome 🤤😍🤙

[@daled8221]

Epic!!!

[@yannferry2705]

Les gars ont fait monter des turbo sur les planches... Quand Albeau va chercher la tête à la 1er bouée, des accélérations à la Fast and Furious !!

[@elettrosmogtipstv6786]

EPIC

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

2019: Epic 2020: Epic Fail

[@skulljohansen8254]

Where did this race take place?

[@Cha053ngine]

Wooooooow! Noice

[@handsken1234]

Have seen this video at least 10 times..

[@ptbot3294]

Nice graphics, what game is this

[@aaroneaton583]

WOW!!!!!!

[@jornbeyse6328]

so coool!!!!!!

[@thaliakalli4207]

I genuinely GASPED when he fell omg that was intense

[@EverRider]

Awesome We wang more of that ! Drone is fucking good

[@hadaken2]

Amazing...

[@Paiadakine]

Damm. Did Mateo catch the upwind edge of his board?

[@mrdrevilporkchop666]

Epic

[@christianhackbart3009]

That's what we want to see, not boring and quiet foils. Pwa could make less events, smaller events, but just on hi winds places. I know it goes in another direction, all the industrie is putting the efforts on foil, but may be the solution for the empty fleet on pwa.

[@philipwoolgar2011]

booom! more that please!!

[@hansgerd2934]

What speed do these guys reach?

[@erwinko]

YES THE BEST ONE

[@chriskona7652]

It is the best slalom race ever!

[@lespartagesdebarbu6862]

ah ah topissimo
