Hi alfie-hart,
Visit curiesteem.com or join the Curie Discord community to learn more.
Thank you again @curie always sharing my content, big up!!
@alfie-hart I liked that small Island hidden behind you.
PWA events are one of the most exciting one so does it's price money.
Yes thanks @bloggerkrunal, there is a small island here in Korea but at low tide you can walk out and actually film from there . . . The PWA does have prize money but in comparison to surfing it is very small. Windsurfing is a small industry but most are working in it for the love of the sport, not the money!!
hi @alfie-hart
your images of the windsurfing world tour in Japan and Korea are beautiful! are you a surfer too?
congratulations and thanks for sharing with us
Thanks @road2horizon, yes I'm a windsurfer too. It definitely helps to be a sailor as I can anticipate action and whats happening at the events, who everyone is etc . . . We're on the last day now so lets see what happens!! One of the great things about this sport is the unpredictability of it . . .

Hey @alfie-hart I am really happy that you share this piece of content with us. As a kid, I did a windsurfing course but I quit for some reason.
A friend of mine is also filming such sport events, especially for RedBull. It would be too funny if you would know him: he is called Dennis Schroth?!
Keep up the cool videos bro,
Cheers
Max
@mcnestler, Yes a fellow windsurfer :) I have heard of Dennis but not met him yet, I wonder if he was working on the Red Bull Storm chase in Ireland earlier this year? Thanks again, cheers
oh wow wow, honestly I did not know windsurfing is also a thing, and a thing with a tournament. Checking on google more for that syrfing board lower portion, I am curious how it is sort of connected to water.
Hey @vibesforlife it's a hydrofoil windsurfer board!! Becoming more accessible for windsurfers as special boards and foils are being produced by the brands now. This also means there are competitions and it is expected to see the foil windsurfing at the Olympics pretty soon.
Yeah just googled the term - Hydrofoil windsurfing boards - First article says its the future. I am thinking how amazing it must be to be in air over water-- whoppieee feeling.
Thanks for sharing and the info :)
This is a very professional series of reports. I am not particularly fan of this particular sport, but you make it look really exciting and hard to miss.
I had not even noticed that this small things could "stand" on a stick, sort of :)
I don't even know the parts of these "boats"
Great images, great interviews, music, everything is just top-notch
Thanks @hlezama for watching and giving me some feedback from a non-enthusiasts perspective. It's not all racing and the wave sailing competitions are pretty extreme, so should be at one of those events in July sometime.
I can imagine, and that's what I liked about your videos. Your provide a wider view of the competition and the athletes involved, the whole environment and their interaction in it becomes part of the competition.
I suppose that is what makes a world tour so challenging. Having different weather conditions and testing your abilities in different environments. It looks like great fun and you get to travel the world doing something you love.
After a long and gray winter it's nice to see some beach scenes. It would be great to spend a few days on the beach, watch windsurfing, drink cocktails and relax.
Looks like this event was fun, you did a great job with the videos. You know, it's funny, when I looked at the photo on wish people are having lunch, the first thing that I noticed was the lack of vivid colors, you can only see white, gray, blue, no green, no pink, red, yellow or brown. It's funny.
Anyway, it was nice to see these refreshing beach scenes, well done! Keep it up and steem on!
