Awesome to see Giel on the Core!😁... NOW he's getting the boost he always needed, IMO. Keeping my fingers crossed for you for the KING OF THE AIR...🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾😁
Fingers crossed! Let's hope for proper wind!
Nice one 🤙
The xr pro is super fast I can only imagine how fast this new 3 strut will be, looks like a mixture of xr/gts,
It's very quick! I'm looking forward to ride the smaller sizes to see what's possible.
absolute legend, can't wait to see what he can pull off with core!
Me neither! We'll see it soon!
FULL BEAST !
He is for sure!
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 😅
Loved the OR kites sad to see the departure.
Giel had an amazing run with them, as you can hear from the interview the gear wasn't the problem at Ocean Rodeo.
Awesome man, wonderful to see you with giel in the same page！please do tell giel that he owns lots of fans in China!!! And the biggest one is also biggest fan of SA which is me！！！🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's great to hear! I'll let him know.
Nice....glad to see Giel is healing up after that mega crash
Same here, was a big one
Nice Video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great to see him back! Give me some details on the imperator 7 please? What size is he riding?
I'm not certain what size he's riding. Maybe ask him on instagram?

Oh yeaaaah boys sick team 🔥🔥
Yew! Stoked for the upcoming time. I guess you're coming to CT as well?
@@stevenakkersdijk of course ! Coming mid january 🙂
Lekker bezig, mooie spullen van Core, knallen maar ermee, veel succes !!!
Dank je, gaat zeker goed komen
Awesome vid Geil was sending it! Just wondering the new prototype 3 strut is that something we can look forward to soon?
Can't say much about it, but I'm expecting it will follow CORE their usual release schedule
@@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
That made me laugh, specially the end, don't knkw who reminds me...😂🎉
😂 I had to add those parts
Great video, was so nice meeting you two at Mac.... and having a chat. Looking forward to see some more great content. Great video . See you at KOTA
Same! Nice to have met you on the beach and I'm sure we'll meet again. Hopefully I'm also on the water at that point 🙌
Thats epic kiting!
Totally agree! Was a pleasure to film him
Nice! Well done Steven!
Looking forward to watch KOTA🌊🚀
Thanks a lot 🤙 You and me both!
Vamos GG fuerza para el KOTA 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yew!
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.
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.
I dont know. Triple loops are hard i guess but seem so unnessecary
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
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 ?
The song is: Young Trapz - place like this
Enjoy your kite journey! It's a great one!
@@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.
