Had a fun trip chasing down a swell that came up the other weekend. Apologies on the sound quality, it was filmed on my iPhone & GoPro.

🤩 thanks for sharing.

Nice tip re booties, great video. Re "Hawaiian Carry", I lave the extension on the board, push extension top into front foot strap (usually gets in there) and then the extension becomes a beauty handle to carry board. 😊

Sammy does that I should give it a go! Cheers!

Such a good spot!!! ..nice video

Very familiar, everything still looks the same 20 years on. Including putting your feet up on the sail when getting washed over the reef.

Thanks for the videos you post. I don't surf well and the waves impress me easily. But this sport calms my mind, makes me feel alive and strong! Watching your videos helps me to understand what really happens, to understand more how to do the maneuver, to get ideas of body/hands and feet position to improve and above all it helps me to see that nothing is wrong and that it's mostly my fears that hold me back. 😊 Thank you very much for recording, editing and sharing them always with these touches of humor that are so cool! 🎉

Legend thanks Marion! I know what you mean about fears mate. They often hold us back from things we can probably accomplish. Start in small waves, it’s pretty straightforward and if you fall in it’s only water!

Thank u, its a nice film!!!

Enjoyed every second of this! Mr. Kiter actually a decent bloke - what we like to see!

Love the commentary and the interstitial soul selling.

Great tip on the derigging at the end. As always amazing footage.

Real life images of windsurfers, these are the best😜💪🤙👊

Probably the best 'up north' wave sailing video out there to give an idea of what to expect at that place. Sammy makes the it look too easy!

thanks for showing us new spots! Your friend has some real turns! My gawd what a pleasure to watch him

Sharks would freak me out.... flies would flip me out. Looks awesome spot, Geraldton Gnarloo

Best ever windsurfing video I've watched. I noticed sand at the beach looks reddish. Our beach in NZ looks more blackish.

Grandes imagenes. Gracias Paul. Navegamos un rato con ustedes. Lindo lugar.

That Kite guy was the total twin of my local Kite guy... Glad he had the Aus. accent so I could tell he wasn't. The sailing clips were the definition of a good time. Canada has thawed out so my season starts this week!

Nice to watch you having fun Paul!! Beautiful surfing and landscape!!

So good. Loved the calm during the crash with the waves coming in at 12:30. Beautiful monotone shot at 19:55.

Love it Paul! 😍

Genius indeed. And, the extra padding is a welcome respite for the board's deck

Amazing spot. Thanks for all.

Awesome - another great adventure - thanks for sharing!

Beautifully made vid. A slice of the good life. With flies

Absolutely loving this location and the videos, please keep them coming

Nice surfing! Good vibes on the dry! Lovelyvideo!!

Very nice conditions and commentary, Paul. 35 degrees......I admit a bit of envy!

Cool vid Paul, thanks. Keep on sending

Awesome video Paul, really like your travel and ride & talk stuff!

That style of video is great to watch. Such good waves! We don't have conditions like that where I am but watching this has me craving a good session anyway. Nice tips as well!

Great stuff Paul!! Looks like an awesome spot, nice long waves!! Lots of turns!! I'm not sure which is worse, Sand, coral reefs and flies, or what we have here in the Taranaki cold and ROCKS, big ones sticking up like tombstones which you dont see until you're in your bottom turn......Definitely want to get to Western Australia to sample some of these spots...

Nice video ! You're right about the kite, he should not turn in front of the swell that you where following from outside. Already had the same situation many time with kites... it's very annoying when there is plenty of kites doing that, like in Mauritius for example...

Nice video. Makes me feel like I am there. What an epic spot, blue water, sailing in your shorty looks very good. Thanks for sharing how to carry one's gear. Hang Loose

Great video. Reminded me in London of why i love that spot. Why do you think WA windsurfers hide the location of the spots? Hardly anyone windsufers in WA and it has a tiny population. Do you think you will be swamped with people when for most people on europe it takes 24 hours to get to this spot.

Hi Paul. What type of tape do you use on your mast joint? It looks like you re-use it for the next session? How does it stick wet? Great video. Thanks

@windsurfer

3 ай бұрын

Hey fish! I use gaffer tape. You can use it about 10-15 times before it loses its sticky ability. You buy rolls of it cheap at your local hardware store.

Another epic wind trip from my favorite windsurfer from down under, Paul van Bellen. Looks like the flies found you before you found the Easter eggs. What were the guys in that small skiff smoking before they went out? Lol Sammy Dillon has to be my lost brother in Oz. I always have a brew in hand waiting for the wind/waves to fill in. In our area that tends to be a long wait with many empty cans. Oooh Yeaaaah! Remember, Paul, no need to apologize to the bottom feeders we call kiters. Windsurfer ALWAYS trumps kiter on the takeoff point. Keep'em coming Paul, us yanks love your videos. Please include Sammy if ya can, he is quite entertaining.
