Defiwind 2022 Race No. 3 - 3ème course UNCUT | POV Andy Laufer GoPro Hero10
Спорт
As this one was one of the best races I ever did @thedefiwind , I had to put it online as it is, uncut and raw.
For the last 7 years I always started right in the middle of the starting line and went straight to the beach to look for flat water.
Yesterday in race no. 2 I started the 1st time right down within all the PWA riders. Had clear water and could go 2-3 knots faster than on the 1st day. Thanks for the tip @JordyVonkNED69 !
So in race no. 3 I started right down below again, very close to the boat. Was early so I had to slowed down a bit. Some other sailors just passed my right at the start wich didn't matter as I catched up after a while.
I got faster and faster on the 1st leg, catched up lots of places even if I couldn't go 100% as my fitness level is pretty bad.
Arrived at the 1st mark in 12th position, overtaking Tristan Algret as he went for a little swim :) So I rounded the buoy in a superb 11th place juhuuu!
Accelerated pretty good, got faster and faster, concentrated on the waves and on those 1240 guys coming straight torwards myself. Suddenly there was Johan Søe D-37 right down below, we almost crashed into each other as I didn't see him coming upwind. Sorry for that @johansoe37 :)
After a while there was former Defiwind winner Nicolas Warembourg pushing from behind as I got weaker and slower. I started pushing a bit, could even gain some meters again but I felt in my arms that I coulnd't push until the next mark. I decided to let him go, took it easy to spared some energy for the 2nd jibe.
Arrived there in a good 12th position when Antoine Albeau passed me inside. Right after that jibe I saw Pierre Mortefon pushing from the top. I started pushing as well, but after a while had to spare some energy again. Pierre decided after about half way to go upwind into the sandbanks to find some flat waters to gain some speed. That was a good decision as he overtook me on that run.
Right before mark no. 3 there was Malte Reuscher passing me downwind as I couldn't go full speed anymore. Cramps, pain, stiffness in basically all my body. Only "Les Defieurs" know what I am taking about :)
Arrived in a still very good 13th position at mark no. 3. - when Matteo Iachino just passed me right there. Still came out in 14th place, one more leg to the finish!
Didn't had the energy to push as hard as in the 1st reach. So I heard Maciek Rutkowski coming from behind. Could push a bit to keep him away for a while but was to weak to keep the speed, too exhausted. So I let him pass and went to the inside, looking for some flat waters again. That was the biggest mistake of the race as the finish line was much more downwind than mark no. 2.
So i ended up very too far upwind, had to go downwind a lot, got slower and slower, GPS readings was even under 20 knots :)
Just before the finish line 5 more guys passed me downwind as they went straight into the finish - Armand Genevois, Andres Boje, Ingmar Daldorf, Alex Cousin and Bruno Martini.
Anyway I ended up in a superb 20th place, suuuper happy with that! The wind was between 20 and 40 knots. Used my @jpaustraliacom 62 Slalom and my new @NeilPrydeWind EVOXIII 5.8 and a NoLo Fins Model 5 32.5cm. That combi seems to be incredibly fast.
All shots taken with my @GoPro Hero10
Hope you enjoy the video.
Cheers Andy

Loved every minute of it, Thank you Andy. Felt the pain of every chop and the relief of the flatter water. Great race mate 👍. As an old boy who started windsurf in 1980 and it been a big part of my life ever since, You and your videos inspire me to get out on the water when I'm feeling soft and need a kick in the ass. You are a beast of a sailor🤙 ( even if our body's will not give us as much as they used too).

Well done Andy. When you cross the rest of the fleet at full speed, that's so impressive and so scary. I would definitely buy a 20th place, but I'm far too slow to even think about Defiwind. This video is juste like if I made it myself :-). Cheers.

Hey Den, thanks a lot. Yes they where slightly too far in the back. At Defiwind, you always have to put them further forward.
Aaaalter! Ich kriege schon beim Zuschauen Krämpfe in den U-Armen 😀 Toller Fight und cleverer Kurs, besonders wenn du beim 2. und 4. Schenkel ausweichpflichtig bist und zum Schluss noch massenhaft überrunden musst 👍👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland 👋

A great video. I try to understand how all your muscles and tendons were in tension for that long time. Impressive result! Last year I did an Ammersee crossing from Eching to Diessen in one ride. I was dying multiple times. :) Naja, so bisschen. Meine hintere Wade war aber total fertig...

You’ re awsome !!! What sail you had? Hope your left arm is ok 🤙
Well done, and great video. Was the wind at 90 degrees or was it a little upwind on the 2nd leg? Would it be a good idea to have 2 sets of harness lines so you could hook into 1 a little further forward to take the pressure off your front arm? Or would that just make your back arm ache more?
@AndyLaufer

The wind was mostly at about 90 degrees. But shifting a lot within the race. 2 sets of harness lines might be a good option yes. Thanks and cheers
Wow that's awesome. It's a little miracle that there are no accidents when there are so many riders going in the opposite direction. Or are there?

Hi Andy, it seems that sail tension top to bottom was light, I saw some small folds in front of your wish, that adjustment was for improving power instead of softness?
Reminds me of the desert sand rally of “fear and loathing in Las Vegas”.. how do you even know where the next mark is?

Hi, what was avarage and top speed?
how many barrels in m / s?
Sehr beeinruckend. Nicht böse gemeint: Was ist der Grund, warum einige noch einiges schneller sind? Bzw. gerade am Start so davongeflogen sind?

Die kommen von Luv mit dem tieferen, schnelleren Raumkurs. In diesem Fall nicht ganz so sinnvoll, da sie danach wieder hoch ziehen müssen und langsamer werden.
