Yes please! Do the tutorial. Congrats to your results.

Thats "next level" insanity!! I love it!! Extreme conditions, and impressive speeds. Really enjoying your channel....I need to lift my game!!

[joostkuijsters]

Hey Nils ! Respect!! It realy takes some balls to do a slingshot with this crazy wind right into the chop. Your tutorial is welcome. And good video; I like to hear the original sound of the wind and carbon hammering on the chop!

min 9:29 „I think I may have some experience“ - nice Understatement 😉
Looking forward to seeing the slingshot tutorial 👍

Looks insane, well done mate. Even going out in those conditions earns my biggest respect. And u were able to perform so well.. decent stuff, really.

[jimbodouglass]

Wow. That looks absolutely terrifying!

[sharewavestv]

Super Leistung. Für mich ist es unvorstellbar, jemals so schnell zu fahren?!

[mmilhazes]

WOW!!! Crazy crazy winds!! Awesome!! You where flying but the chop at the end of the reach looks like hell!! Oh, the portugues coffee is smaller but stronger and better!! 😁👏✌💪🚀💨

That’s nuts Nils. How heavy are you and please do a tutorial on the Slingshot. I’m a light weight at 84kg but can’t seem to get the best from the slingshot.

@3mins - waterstart as it's too windy, straight to straps, planing immediately whilst fishtailing & spinning out - Might be a bit windy :)

[RPconrad]

Bring it on ! I can use some advice, as my max speed is only 60 km/h (did it in Herkingen and Zonnemaire). Maybe it is the fear, as above 30 knots, I am not "comfortable" on my board (Sputnik F2 1996 !)

[stevemagnuson]

Where is the Prince of Speed? Isn’t that his home spot?

[dengordo]

Crazy conditions and speed. What is your weight and how do you manage to hold such big sails for the wind? Well done and nice video.

[helmutgroen]

But I don't see info about board and fin??

[helmutgroen]

Yeh small gun and then it goes HARD, VERY HARD!!!

[koenstegewerns]

Would be very interested in the tutorial! Other speed related advice is welcome as well.

[iotarask]

Welche Finne fährt man so nah am Strand entlang?

[helmutgroen]

But why stop, just make a nice turn, gijp !!

[droukaspan]

Man.. with NO swell also my grandma can go like that...

Congratulation on official 40 kts on 500m! That is something special but it looks you are not too much emotional about that!? "Probably" less than 0, 0001% of windsurfers went over 40 kts in history....(ad as many zero as you wish), for most people 30kts on 500m is a dream if no speed spot around. Same congratulation for 87 kmh max peak (or 2sec?) ... In my country you will be fastest person on 2sec....
