Welcome back to my YouTube windsurf channel and to the heart of my windsurfing world! I'm Kirsten Baas | NED166, and I'm stoked to take you along as I dive into the next developments of North RACE sails. In this vlog, I take the 6.0, 6.8 and 7.7 out on the water to compare and explore their innovations and what sets them apart from earlier editions.

We’re back in beautiful Soma Bay at Surfmotion Station, surrounded by turquoise water, great vibes and awesome windsurfing friends. Expect light and medium winds – perfect for exploring the 6.8 and 7.7 RACE sails.

🎥 We played around with different camera angles.

Whether you're a gear geek, a fan of North Windsurfing, or just love watching windsurfing in dreamy locations – this one's for you.
