I remember you getting the secret harness! That looks like a great speed spot, Ben. And well done to the camera man!
i loved seeing you more in this kinda solo format. From my perspective it gives more depth to the overall scene with more 3rd person view, and cmon its always great to see your face smiling on the beach haha. keep it up!!!
Nice Ben. Is the next video about you getting that fin back out of the board? 😊

You renewed my faith in humanity...bus guy to camera man without a blink of doubt!= Success!!
That sail looked way bigger than a 6.3. Maybe it was because the board was small in comparison. That harness looks fantastic btw. I think you have a winner.
The new cameramen good be your brother. 😂
Love your commentary..😄
Great video of tooling and setup. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
dude great filming and format, doco vlog style
That harness looks like a retro 80’s add on we used to have for waist harnesses.
Aye, when you really get the speed on in any conditions you get going at about the speed of the wind and sometimes even faster. I've been out fully powered on 6m race sail and once up on the broad reach having to stand up fully cause there is no power for the sail at that speed 🙂 Always the way without insane wind speed 🙂 And yep seat harness is the way to go. Always was my preferred once tried 🙂 Way more leverage. Nasty if you get catapulted, but great for control. Used to see them all the time out on the water.
Enjoyed that video Ben. I am waiting for your harness video as I have been looking at that very harness. It's quite expensive so looking forward to see what you think. People who have riding up harness issues with sore backs are waiting....don't make us wait too long Ben...lol
Ohh, I was 0.39 off from the Send it Sunday video guessing game!
ha I was there :) nice to meet you ben! more videos like that please!
It’s your twin brother

I was also close guessing the speed. Good Cameraman you have their 👍🤙
Bué! That looked like a workout. Would have been nice to see some edits of those sweet jibes from the beach instead of goPro. Conditions looked a lot like when I went down to Martinhal for the first time a couple months back. Was gusting offshore up to 40 kts. I started on and got destroyed on 4.7m, then switched to 3.7m and still got yanked around. Don't know how you held on to 6.3m but you put on a good show.
There multiplying 😂new stunt double for the triple😂
Pedro did a smashing job.
Looks fun!
Very nice board!!
Have a "secret harness" the looks like a similar design to yours. Collecting dust and spider webs in storage for over a decade. DaKine XT high back waist. Adjustable bar height positioning. Maybe better choice over trad. waist harness for long distance runs like the Defi? Looking forward to your "secret harness" video.
Camera work was great, just get the man a tripod!

You know you're not fit when you're out of breath rigging: brilliant!! Ha ha.
Pedro 👍👍👍👍
Cool!
yeah, the harness makes a big difference. the one you used looks like it's better suited for waves. your new harness is much better for speed n slalom. you can literary sit and use more of your body weight and be able to face stronger winds.
From my testing i don't think the new secret harness is any faster. But it's sooo much nicer when you're moderately powered and pushing hard to fly the board for long runs.

That sounds like my conclusions…video coming soon
the board has size similar to F2 Sputnik 265 which was regular slalom board :)
Hi. Are the front footstraps on a speedboard more in the back than on a 125 -140L board? Are some foil optimized windsurfboard from the big Brands affected? I am a windsurfer since 1981. My personal Highlights in my Windsurfing „career“ are 1991 -2005 ca. The last 18 years i windsurfed ~all 4-5 years for 10 days. And last month i was at the René Egli- Center. I try some freerider and freerace boards from different brands. I would say the front straps are to much in the Front. It only felt right upwind
If you'd had more time to set the new sail up for speed, would you have added cam spacers and maybe a little more downhaul?

Yes exactly.. glad I didn’t otherwise I’d have missed the wind. But yes..
I have a robot camera man on the beach, when it works i think its better than old mate.
pretty fast!
👍👍
looks like a portuguese version of you, good job
What is your watch to record the speed ? Thanks

👍About handling the sail…I will „send it“ to show what can happen in windy conditions or as I would call it „how to kill your buddy 😮“

?… you mean the camera angle when I was sailing? Well I only had 5 runs!!! I didn’t think the wind would die. So the plan was to move the camera and do a lot of different angles.. but I didn’t have chance. Did you watch the video?
