These are the type of videos that remind me of how lucky we all are that we can enjoy this great sport. 😎You just hop on your board with your buddy, wait for a little breeze and sail away in absolute freedom - whatever direction you feel like - and enjoy the nature, the sun, the water, the nice views, all the while without having to blast tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and just harnessing what mother nature has given us. It really doesn't get any better than that. ❤ I almost feel sorry for the people on this huge cruise ship who prefer being caged in this piece of junk while we are free, soaring with the wind.
Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us, it just strengthens my belief that there is nothing better than windsurfing /-foiling. 🤩
And yet it takes tons of co2 to get to spots and to produce our boards. It's tricky.
I lived on Bonaire for a year and know most of those guys, great video NICO! Next you should do Aruba!
Fantastic video Nico. Beautiful work with drone, planning, humor and integration of the 3D footage on the foils.
Great editing job and lovely story. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Unterhaltsames Video, die Rankings helfen mir auch bei der Urlaubsplanung. Danke dafür 👍Caeser Finies absolute Legende. Lightwind Freestyle ist er unschlagbar🤙
it really made my day when i met you on the waters really cool. :-)
you are a legend
greetings from bonaire, Clé
Great video - beautiful spot.
How would you rank Bonaire?

Love it! Great episode Nico. What brand are your sunglasses?
Cooler Surf Trip..mehr solche Videos bitte 😊
Great video, I am jealous.😊I went surfing last friday in the Netherlands with complete other temperature
Just got home......can't wait to go back :-)
You must have met some of the guys from Bonaire when you where here in Hatteras, great bunch of guys.
I’ll be there in 7 weeks🙌 Beautiful footage. Number 1 for freeriding. The chill vibe and ability to explore without the crowds and usual tourist traps is what makes it special😎
Faaat! Did Not Know that you also good in the Waves
That's funny listening to you guys talk about your ages. I remember well watching vids of Caesar Finies well before Instagram was a thing. I was gobsmacked. It just seems like yesterday.Time flies when you're 74.
Cooler surf trip Nico!
So Amado can just rig up on his front porch and is ready to sail away. Amazing
Do you have any videos online on the some greece spots? Never seen you sailing there so far and its probably one of the most favorite spots for the germans?
Great couple videos but would have been nice to highlight how magical a place it is for freestyle!
Great video Nico!
The wing crushed in the back 13:21
Great content mate! I'd love to know the track name starting at 2:09 ( looks like an edit of Morning Drift by Ramses ) ?
Verry nice one!
I noticed that everybody was useing a waist harness, do people still use seat harnesses ? It could be a good topic to cover .
Where i live guys like Amado are called „What a brocken“
Greetings from Germany to paradise
Great movie. It looks like you have new cameras. Nico, the trip with Amado was fantastic. Lars, great job. I could feel the atmosphere of this place. Thank you for the report.
Thanks 🤟
armado is a island boy, liked the small music joke ;)
Like windsurfing paradise❤❤❤❤
Fantastic video
Bonaire ist absolut great 👍 🎉 Wind 💨 mmmm so lala…
I've been to Bonaire three times, it's flat water paradise, Sorobon is a huge salt water lagoon with salty crystal clear water, mostly waist high, just perfect for windsurfing. Jibe City is amazing, top notch equipment at great prices, and it's an awesome restaurant and bar too.
The title of this video, however, makes it sound like it's not a good spot. Kind of confusing for non-subscribers to this channel, and to people that watched your previous video.
Yup :)
not the island boy song quote ahhaha
man I need a vacation... 🥺
Auch meine 7Wochen auf Bonaire sind nun leider um (Nico bei meiner Anreise getroffen, er im Abreise Stress :-)), Fazit rasen in der Badewanne ist hat mir wieder nicht gutgetan, ich brauche jetzt mal ne Pause, nach 800km auf dem Wasser bin ich reif für Reha Maßnahmen im kalten Deutschland, ;-) Die Ausstattung für Heizer in der JibeCity ist echt Obergeil, fast neue Segel V8er, dann Fanatic Falcon 2022/23, Isonics, JP Supersport, Futura so ein Bandbreite hatte man an Verleihstationen nicht immer!!!
"still impressive" -love that comment :)
🔥🔥
At 7'30'', both are pulling massive sails from the water without an uphaul cord. Why no cord? is the effect on speed measurable?
Measuring in windsurfing is always tricky, but logically it should make a small difference.
Not your favourite spot but good enough for a nice holiday 😎
Could you please share your rank for places for families/beginners. I am a solid intermediate but my 3 kids want to learn. TIA
Beginner ranking is in there 😊
Check my Top 5 spots video. You’ll see how the points are divided.
@@Nico_GER7 Thank you, I saw it, but that was an overall rank. I meant to ask whether you have a rank for only the spots for beginners. Is there such a rank? TIA
@@maxagent86 We did specify the beginner points for each spot 😄
However, the list is not very big yet. To be continued. Bonaire, Alacati/TR, Egypt, some spots in Greece are great for beginners.
In deinem Video ist ein Moment zu sehen, als du die NP-Fuse auf den Mast auflegt und um den Mastkopf ein Stück U-förmig gebogenes Alu lag. Das kenne ich von den SL-Finnen, wenn man zwischen verschiedenen Boardmarken wechselt und den Finnenkopf dicker machen will. Was ist denn hier der Grund? Hat sich die Titan-Fuse geweitet? herzlichen Dank!
An der Titan-Fuse ändert sich gar nichts. 😂 Habe noch nie so ein unanfälliges Stück Material gehabt.
Der shim besteht nur aus dünnem Plastik. Ich möchte einfach, dass es so eng wie möglich anliegt.
ahh - alles klar - das erklärt es - hab herzlichen Dank! @@Nico_GER7
Amado mentions several times that he did his fastest time around Klein Bonaire on iQFoil. Why does he specifically say iQFoil? does that gear move better up- and downwind?
Exactly, it works better for up and down and slalom foil gear. Big foil, big sail, big board.
I will do 1 heli tack for every like I get
Ps 1st comment
You'll need to post the video...
😂👍
Give me a few weeks the reservoir in the north of England is pretty cold 🤣
What an epic Foil Session around that Island. Really cool views, but was your Frontwing pulling air? Looks like.
Enjoi your trip 🤙
Nope
second comment
Seems the perfect place for recrenational windsurfers to begin and improve 🫶
Except that there isn’t enough wind to sail. 10mph today and same forecast for the next 5 days.
