Giel had an amazing run with them, as you can hear from the interview the gear wasn't the problem at Ocean Rodeo.

Great to see Giel at core. I also thought the interview was very interesting, especially the question with regards to fear, very mature answer as well. Can't wait to get back on the 🌊

I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed the content. I often get the feeling that these things are not discussed or communicated to the community. Fear has always been a big part of my riding and it helps to keep you alive 😅

@@stevenakkersdijk awesome that will be interesting, I guess they have to have a kite that will double and triple loop for the comps, be interesting to see what is put on the market? I’m on the GTS for looping and freestyle and the XR for big wind days

@andreaspoke8273 9 ай бұрын
Nice to watch you guys! You are flying acrobats. But I don’t know what I can take out for myself riding. I start jumping with the foil cause never have much wind. So a kite that cost double price for double loop is no thing for me. I need a durable kite that last longer.
@stevenakkersdijk 9 ай бұрын
Totally understand that. Luckily CORE produces more than 1 kite, so I'm sure there is a kite in the range that fits your needs. I've always been very happy with the universal+ range from CORE (XR Nexus and GTS) the materials they use last long and give great performance! Alula is a great material, but it has very specific desginer goals.

Curious to see if Giel responds to the expected triple loops. KOTA gonna be next level. 🎉 Thanks for your energy.
@kitepirinha4152 9 ай бұрын
I dont know. Triple loops are hard i guess but seem so unnessecary
@stevenakkersdijk 9 ай бұрын
We shall see, I think that tripple loops can be super impressive. Not sure if we'll see many of those as the risk is really high
@stevenakkersdijk 9 ай бұрын
I agree with that one. In my opininion it's not how many loops you pull, but how you make it look. (kite angle, style, horizontal displacement and wow factor) Tripple loops often don't have much of these factors

Sick loops! I am currently looking forward to start my kite journey next summer. Does anybody know the name of the song starting at 8:14 ?

@@stevenakkersdijk You were right its a great one! I was out today for the 7th time and I jumped like 3 meters high (I was riding pretty slow, edging into the wind and just wanted to try it out lol, never thought it would boost me this high). You probably wont read this but I am so proud and happy, so I had to write something here 😂 Thanks for all the videos that ignited the spark for the sport in me.
