Proud moment as the coach! So cool to be able to share these moments with the younger bro, 15 years after I got hooked on the sport 😍😍 Thanks for the epic edit, Windsurfing TV!

Now to spend 20 years mastering, that’s what i love about windsufing you never stop learning.

Me and my gf were there and saw it live. We were dumbfounded by how quickly he progressed.
Very impressive and good attitude 🤙

As a windsurfer if 40 years. Loved watching this.
Takes me back to the early 80s reading books, practicing, getting it wrong, then right.
The best sport.
The wind is free, it takes you to a place of freedom.
You v nature.

7 days! The same thing took me 2+ years— And then there are days when it feels like you’ve regressed back to day 2… but then there are moments when you (accidentally) feel like a pro! Finding good conditions and having a robust second-hand/used market for equipment is key.
Great video—a nice change from all the tips on forward loops and backies ;)

This is truly incredible. I've never seen nor heard of anyone getting into the harness on day 3. This is a solid combo of great coach, natural ability and serious fitness. The average person can never get through 7 days of windsurfing and that many hours on the water. Massive respect. In 23 years of windsurfing I've never seen anyone progress that fast. Also, don't ever try to learn to uphaul in the waves. It's guaranteed to break your spirit. What you witnessed here is almost a miracle 🤣 Super cool to see. Gybing and looping in a month or two I rate, maybe less. Keep sending it.

Wow...truly amazing...I started this year on February, at my 48, each Saturday with almost no wind, 36 days until now, 57 hours total
happily found this video, thanks for sharing.

Amazing what you can do with the right equipment good conditions and a great coach. Love these kinds of videos helps show my wife it doesn't always take years

[ivanoxito]

Very impressive, and very tough conditions for starting to windsurf

[OhNoNotAgain]

Try learning on a 40 pound One Design board with a non battens sail. An 8 foot boom that NEVER stayed firm against the mast. I’m surprised any of us stuck with it. Today’s gear makes it so much easier. I’m glad I struggled from the beginning, but I love my current gear.

Looks like we have a new member of the family 👏

Congratulations and welcome to the sport! This is something you can enjoy for the rest of your life!

Great 7 days straight. I had 3 days broken up into 3 weekends. immediately bought gear asap to continue my progression 4years later still going!

That's very impressive, especially given that the shorebreak is a tough place to learn--if the wind wasn't sideshore it would have been a different story. Add to that planing a 190L is no joke, in its straps even less so. Credit to Cosmas' fearlessness and dogged persistence. Most beginners take a lot longer to get comfortable with wind and power, regardless of technique, plus all the traffic out there would normally be scary as hell. Undaunted and applying some very good instruction, Cosmas did in days what usually takes weeks. Reading Trickionary certainly didn't hurt ;-)

[AlexBukhonenko]

Great progress!
It took me 1 year and 40 sessions of self learning on water from scratch to planing in harness and straps in 16-20 knots. It was really hard

[axelkidd]

It takes a lot of energy and request a lot of will to go through what you did in such short amount of time 👏👏👏

[TheJustinJ]

Thank you for showing the difficulty in learning this sport. From a snowboarding perspective, I knew there was a lot that goes into making a skilled wind/surfer that nobody seems to mention...

[foobar]

Can fully relate. Maybe not the easiest spot to learn 😁 tricktionary book is so good, helped me quite a lot

[chrislearnswindsurfing]

Great job! I started 3 years ago.. 1st year 10 hours after a 1.5 day course. 2nd year 40 hours, beach start, planing.. this year.. planing, sometimes a non planing gybe-ish turn and a tack but still not comfortable in the footstraps, often to much pressure on the backside of the board and stall..not enough speed for footstreps and repeat 🤔 46 yo now.. hopefully this year the complete package and then makeing myself even more comforable on the water

[itmissionca]

Very inspiring. Now need to find a place to do a 7-day on the water windsurfing daily to get better, faster.
