BTW that is a proper techtalk about sails what we are looking for. Nothing to complain 😎 Andrea is a nice guy
The best idea you guys had ever. Is this video spliting, one every day. Simple but so nice. Every day i go watch one great video. Its like watching Spanish serias of tele novela.. but instead of Fuentes going to see her lover.. Ben-Rodriges is going for windsurf, sail shopping!
Haha that is really cool analogy
Two legends are having a nice tech chat! Benny, keep that tech talks going. It's awesome!
Andrea is a cool guy. Very good at explaining things. Quite educational!
the slash looks 🔥
Good to see that their research into making a sail *completely invisible* is making progress, what with that camo pattern!
(this comment brought to you by C.A.I.S. Campaign Against Invisible Sails)
Rescue pilot: "What colour is the sail?"
Buddy: "Water color, with camo effect to blend into the sea surface"
Rescue pilot: "gfc!!! yeah maybe just save the fuel on this one"
Always interesting. Andrea looks like such a lekker guy. Come, where is part 2? (Someone had to complain as the comments are all pretty decent)
Great content, thanks!
For the sail-range of P7 is too complicated. Some other brands are guitly of this as well, but P7 rules them all!
I mean, 4 race-sail types, is that really neccesary? I think it just confises the customers and adds cost.
Also, the range gets changes much too often.
For most people, I think building a sail-quiver of a certain type is an investment spread out over years. Ideally, you want to have the same sail type across all sizes.
I will not invest into a brand that changes its range every other year. It also sends me a message that the manufacturer is lacking confidence in it's product. Materials and technology have not changed that much the past 10 years (for fin sails). If it was great 2 years ago there is no need to make drastic changes now. The new may be better in certain conditions but the old was probably better in other conditions.
Ironically, after Andrea explains the many different sail-ypes he has, all optimized to the 9th degree for every possible specific type of sailing, he says that actually a freestyle sails is an excellent freeride sail. I think P7 could ditch halve their sail-range and still have a good sail for every type of sailing.
Just binged watched all of the defi videos tonight. Some of the best content about the race and behind the scenes as well as the brands chats. great work Ben and everyone on windsurf TV. next year I've got to give the race a go.. :)
This is what I was waiting for, my favorite brand!
good job I'm there on Defi can't wait for the next one!
Never seen a better sail size gradation than with the AC-0. Other manufacturers should take a look at this.
Maybe PWA could limit to two cambers per sail. Would that force sailmakers to make sails that pros use that regular people can also use?
Love these short videos. Good job!
I agree, the Beast did win last year despite missing a round of the world titles. They had to use a technicality to make him lose. He didn’t even use the sail they disqualified him for. It was a joke.
can you tell me what was wrong with his sail? I never heard what the reason was.
@@Vini.OliveTreeHe changed the position of one of his cambers by 2.5 cm after they were registered.
Well, he used the altered sail in earlier competitions.
Interesting video, learned a lot about the details on the different types of sails. Thx
Very good videos, thank you!
I just used a small and fairly new Point-7 rental sail in 25 knots of wind in Fuerteventura which broke within the first minute on the water. Very unusual for the given situation. What about robustness and longevity?
After party voice, Ben? :)
That was just after speaking to Patrik!! 😂😂
Andrea is a nice guy Ben too Thumb up ! in times where war comes clother too us all... i dislike this Militarylook. maybe a hit in USA.
Moin Ben
Your voice sounds a bit abused ;-)
Cams are soooooo over rated ! The advantages are easily outweighed by the disadvantages
