My pleasure and thank you for taking the time to write this comment 🤙

The C kites are indeed being discontinued by most kite brands as the market is very small and there is little interest. They're one trick ponies with a very specific goal being unhooking (which they are damn good at) With that being said there has been very little advancement in the performance of those kites and I don't think it will be very hard to find a C kite lying on a dusty shelf somewhere that will cost way less than 2.5k. Hope you find a setup that works for you, the back to wrapped is a great trick!

Thanks! There are a couple of riders that were already doing it, but I also didn't see it much on socials.

😅

July does get very busy indeed. I was there from Mid april to end of June.

@@stevenakkersdijkthanks. I can see on your regular high jumps that you straighten your legs. Do you recommend to force it this way or bending them a little bit will improve kite control and center of gravity. Thank you.

I would recommend to keep a small bend in the knees for more stability.

@@stevenakkersdijk thank you

It's a rotation that took me quite long to figure out as well, but it's in the steering of the kite and creating a swing around 12 with the heli loop. You can try to do a straight kiteloop and just before the kite reaches 12 you steer it with a bigger circle around in order to initiate the rotation. Might be able to make a video about it.

​@@stevenakkersdijk thanks! I think there is no video tutorial about this move in youtube, so would be fantastic to know better how to control this rotation.

With a lot of practise 😉

Glad you like it!

Thanks I guess 😅

@@stevenakkersdijk you’re welcome. I just started getting back rolls then I go and see this!

That's witsand (breede rivier) in south africa

Thanks! We just keep on playing out there. 😉

That's what chicken do when they're able to fly

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

I don't feel like the XR pro was a mistake as it is quite different to the PACE pro. But I do agree that this new model was something that's been missing in the CORE range.

😂 Love it! Thanks a lot 🙌

I believe that Flare does worldwide shipping from their website. Have you tried writing an email to: service@go-flare.com They've always replied to me there. Best of luck Simon, hope you get to enjoy a Moustache soon!

​@@stevenakkersdijkThanks so much, and yes, I've now contacted Flare directly, and put in an order. Can't wait for it to arrive. 🪂🤩

Thanks!

Thank you! 😊

It was about 35 knots gusting towards 40 on a 10m CORE Pace Pro

Jumping technique has changed indeed because of the kites, those older C kites wouldn't go high without a good whip.

Thank you!

I'm very happy to hear that! Keep on shredding and having fun out there!

More lift making it easier to jump and land your tricks with greater height and hangtime. Turning speed they're about equal.

Appreciate it!

Yes, it's very Dutch 😅

Thank you!

I try 😇

It's a 10m Pace pro, but it steers faster than most 9m kites 😅

Start with late back rolls lol

Oh no! I hope you learned from your mistakes so you can land them in your next session 😉

You've tried a lot of kites! The XR is an amazing kite with the most power of all the kites in our range, it also the slowest when it comes to steering. The Pace will have more power than the Nexus but slightly less than the XR in the same size, it is insanely fast hough and speed wise I would compare it to the nexus, but with way more lift. The Nexus is the fastest of the bunch but as you mentioned it does ride a couple sizes smaller than the XR when it comes to power. Xlite is great for foiling and you'll enjoy them in the lighter winds. Depending on your level and what you're searching for the XR pro and Pace pro might deliver what you want, you could have a look to get 1 key size, the Pace is really fun in 12 10 and 9m for us heavier guys

Thanks!

Appreciate it!

Thanks Brad! I can make a tutorial for it, but I have to say it's quite tricky as you need a lot of wind in order to do it.

@@stevenakkersdijk Sweet, Thanks that would be awesome! I am down with allot of wind.. Its been pretty dead here in utah lately but we believe it is about to pick up as the heat goes away.

Also, im assuming lots of wind needed cause you slack your lines and need the kite to drift downwind quickly. I cant tell if you are backlooping your kite or not.

@@bradbarton532 Not doing any loops with the kite, simply steering it past 12 for a normal gybe. You need a lot of wind to prevent your lines from slacking.

Awesome thanks. If the winds are strong enough I'll give this a go tomorrow at deer Creek. Thanks

It's done automaticaly by RUclips so I can't change it unfortunately

How are you enjoying the 9m XR pro? If you're happy with the speed and lift this might be the better choice for you in the smaller sizes. Side note: the power of the 9m XR pro will be quite similar to the 10m Pace pro I think.

@@stevenakkersdijk yes the power of the xr pro size 9 is perfect , and the overpowerd situation even more, the only thing i sometimes dont like is so much bar pressure , Im looking for i think 10 pace and a 12 for my father(debating on nexus or something for him) The only thing is that i need to sell the xr pro in a couple of months because when the new version comes out then this kite is worth nothing anymore.. therefor also debating on the 8-9 pace

The ones you see yes 😉

Appreciate it!

You need a lot of wind in order to still have some tension on the lines when you initiate the backroll, no tension will end up with your head in the water for sure.

I ride with the Openswim Pro from Shokz for the music (bone conduction) and earplugs from IARS to protect me ears from surfers ear. It's an amazing combo!
