this is soooooo good!! A windsurfing video, which actually shows a full session! All of the usual sponsored video content on Instagram videos is full of those highlight clips of perfect waves, perfect moves, high jumps, and the same stuff for the 100th time. Seeing a normal wave rider ripping a session with the typical ups and downs is way more interesting. - chasing waves.... not catching some - Jibing... in 0 wind, awquardly shifting around while your board sinks - cruising around, looking back over your shoulders every 5 seconds, waiting for the set... then missing the set - riding a wave, making turns... falling in and hustle to water start before the next set. Thats a real session :) This is what we all go through in order to catch a few good ones Thanks for sharing it

Screw the tropical windsurfing videos with double flips and throbbing music, this Windsurfing Shark Island video and its predecessor are the most captivating and enthralling windsurfing videos currently on KZread.

Indeed! Way better than the over-hyped "red bull" vids...

How on earth did he manage to get back to dry land without breaking anything? Very raw and refreshing to see..

I'm new to windsurfing and I can't believe how difficult it is! And that's just on flat water. But everyday I get better, and these videos make my imagination run wild about my future in this incredible sport, even if I only get to doing a franction of this. Thank you! Windsurfing, where have you been my whole life!

Good on you mate! It’s not an easy sport but satisfying every time you learn something new!

I love it. We beat the crap out of our gear on rocks or whatever, then carefully put it away in protective bags for the ride home. Awesome video.

Sometimes we don't need the radical moves by the best riders in the greatest conditions and the beautiful scenery, high end editing and soundtrack. But the real world, decent windsurfer trying out sketchy winds with good enough waves. No music, not much editing but a quality raw footage and here it is.. Good, long report on how it looks like going out there. The fun, struggles and fears on getting out of the water sometimes. Refreshing to see such video! 👍

That's what is so great about these videos. Its real windsurfing, with all the slogging, the fluky wind, the struggles, the stalls, getting caught in the break with no wind. Its the real thing. Great stuff, not to mention the 4k which is outstanding. If only we could recreate all the 1990's era video in 4k format! dare to dream...

An absolute heart stopper of a video! Edge of the seat stuff. Loved it.

Excelent, you know what the windsurfer likes, backstage, real windsurfers and sea sound!

Love this stuff. Real world sailing by someone who is not some rock-star Pro. I felt every moment he got smacked by a gust or fell in when the wind died.It's bloody tough sailing in strong side-off conditions. Massive gusts right when you don't expect them and then holes with no wind. Hats off to Duncan. Reminds me of sailing off Long Reef.

Much respect to Duncan for that entire session and also to Paul for his 'uncut' storytelling format!

Raw Nature, wild, untameable and beautiful. Very few people, no matter how rich, powerful or wise they are, will ever experience screaming down the face of one of these growlers on a little board with a sail. Pure unadulterated envy and respect

Totally dig the total session format. Shows how hard core it is.

I‘m not a surfer but this footage was amazing. I literally could feel where the wind was coming from and the fights he had. Beautiful.

Yes impressive effort and I like the style "warts and all" footage showing all aspects of wave sailing- the hard slog, the awkward, the difficult, the dangerous and the fun.. thanks to both Paul and Duncan. From my armchair, Tennyson, Adelaide.

Very difficult circumstances for Duncan, the windsurfer, and for you as the drone-pilot. A big bravo for both of you. I love the intro: locating the spot, picking the board and rigging the sail. Keep on posting.

The return to the beach was just CRAAAAZZZY !

so breathtaking! Certainly of the best windsurfing movies I have seen.

Super drive👍

The rawness, the vastness of the ocean, incredible! This is one of my favorite windsurfing videos, just raw footage, the sound of the wind and waves, the fun sides and also the struggles. Keep it up Paul! Fantastic

To me this sport an like surfing those who do it are beyond impressive. I find this just beyond words I love that you people have found a way to live your dreams man!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

That looked like a dam good workout! Great to get back with body and gear intact. Well done to Paul for capturing the session, every windsurfer needs a wingman like that to capture their sessions for prosperity!

This gives me the love/fear feeling I have when I'm windsurfing (smaller-but-big-to-me ) waves. One of my favorite windsurfing videos.

That is a rocky beach! I couldn't believe that the gear survived the exit. I like your videos. Great filming.

Awesome... Crazy !!! This is what real windsurfing is like... i can feel every moment of the anticipation..fear..struggle and shear excitement!! Hats off.. Very very well Done! Cheers🤙🏼🤙🏼👊🏼👊🏼

The best surf Video! I love it, because it is real. Not that boring stuff!

He is a pretty big guy. Must be super windy with a 4.3. Well done

Wonderful complete footage , great use of drone , feeling like being there with the natural sound, without boomboxes. Thnx for sharing, great job both windsurfer & filmer!👏👏👏

Amazing footage ! Real life windsurfing, with the whole , gust, crazy waves, harsh shore break... KUDO ! Thank you !

Clearly worth all the effort getting in! Great video - mission at the beginning to frame the session. Trek downwind to the spot, then picking off the sets out the back and then all the rides. Plus doesn’t cut away when rider crashes or gets caught inside trying to water start. Nice and raw! We’ve all been there so good to see how a skilled rider deals with all that. Top notch video. Much appreciated!

Hard to understand how perfect the video is. Incredible!!!

Hi from east coast canada :) Excellent windsurfing and the video was outstanding, no annoying music just the ocean surf and and wind the way it should be. The drone takes you right there I could feel my heart pumping everytime the wind died for him just inside the break. Definitely be tuning in for his next adventure. Keep em coming. All the best :)

Video perfecto del windsurf real. Felicidades. Es tan real que hace sentir como que el que navega soy yo. Cuando te acercas a tierra hasta que consigues estar sano y salvo es emocionante. Puntuación al windsurfista y piloto del dron: 10.

Balls of steel

Realmente conoce mucho el lugar, creo que con una tabla mas grande hubiera disfrutado mas.Muy bueno el video. !Saludos desde Argentina

The amount of energy it cost to not fall over, balance your board in between sets waiting for a gust of wind to get you out of a possible hot zone when PapaWave comes rolling in. I remember after you get going again and you can relax a bit your heart is pounding from the effort. Shame there are not more windsurfers out there. Love to sail with others. Safer and more fun. Hang loose!

My first board is being shipped, this is so inspiring it feels like a highlight reel.

Great stuff. No music is fantastic. Immersive

Fantastic video! At 13:40 it's really not a good place to fall in the water seeing the set coming ... I shiver just thinking of it. Paddling back with a broken mast in big surf is really not fun! The return to shore was sooo sketchy. But good surfing action!

…where where the roofing nails and broken bottles on the rocky go out?…drone camera work absolutely stunning…constant amazement…pulling for the sailor all the way…expected rig and brazen sailor to be shredded…you brahs down under are absolutely mad…”well done” cannot even begin to congratulate you maniacs…

I used to do this sort of solo sailing in big swell for 15 km down the coast in Adelaide on my own with a friend in a car watching when I was 20. Was utterly exhilarating. But this sailor could easily have died that day, especially coming in he could have hit his head on the gear or the rocks, or drowned if he got separated from his gear. Well done! No doubt was an excellent work out and one to tell his mates.

Nice one Stephen that’s cool you had some big adventures on your windsurfer!

Great job getting in and then out of the water in tough winds. 2 techniques Duncan could benefit from on the exit (maybe he was too buggered): 1) Resting the boom on rear of board keeps the rig high and out of the water and waves washing him in - keeping the rig out of the water means better / easier control when sloshing around in those rocks. 2) Once you can lift gear standing on rocks or sand, eg waist deep water, flip the board upside down on top of the boom and get your head under the rig. You can balance the rig and board on the head with one hand, leaving the other free for balance or control. Helps when clambering over rocks etc, also keeps the rig high out of the water so waves don't wash it around. Much easier than carrying board in one hand and rig in the other with rig low and dragging in water or getting pushed around by waves. Safer too. Still, wasn't an easy exit and glad Duncan is OK. I've had my share of washed, rinsed and tumbled over rocks lol, we've all been there. Thanks for the footage!

Cheers for the tips mate, I’ll pass it onto Dunc.

Great effort there bro - swimming in to the beach I always grab the mast tip so my body acts as a sea-anchor. Lucky not to lose the rig and the board here, aye :)

I’ll never ever complain about the shore break in my own spot. That was the real deal here!

A lot of work for just a drop and a mushy shoulder. Good on ya mate!

Wind seems a bit light, but sweet waves. Great video, thanks for excluding the music
