    amazing stuff, something to have in mind is that such storm clouds can have a far reaching effect in form of a microburst and then, well, lightnings too :D So it's better to play safe. It's also intreresting to see you picked up brand new stuff for such an adventure, I'd normally assume it's better not to take any new gear without testing prior :) But clearly it worked for you, congrats!

  • @maartenhaeger
    @maartenhaeger8 ай бұрын

    I used the Core XR Pro kite and a Carved Imperator 7 board. The Watch is a Garmin Fenix 6x Pro retrieving the jumps from the WOO 4.0 sensor on my board. The impact vest is I believe an ION vest, I bought it years ago but it's still working!

  • @danielgerritse5112
    @danielgerritse51128 ай бұрын

    Wow thanks so much! The watch looks amazing and as does the kite. With the impact vest is it a kite specific one that allows for room for the harness? I wanted an impact vest that can do foiling and kiting .. not sure if that exists though

    How exactly do you measure your height? Only with the Garmin Fenix? How it works? Thanks

    It's measured with the WOO Sports 4.0 sensor on my board. The WOO records my jumps and sends it via Bluetooth to the WOO app on my Gamin Watch!

    I noticed that too, the GoPro doesn't do justice to the actual height. I'll see if I can change this for the next vlog to make the POV seem as realistic as possible!

    I always ride the same size (135 x 41). It's quite small for someone my size, so I don't need to go smaller during big storms.

    As a confirmed windsurfer who's been taken out three times by kitesurfers who leap before they look, can't say I'm a big fan, but that aside, we'll done and fantastic achievement. You guys are crazy. Always looks impressive, unless they're about to land on you. 😂😂

    Were some of those jumps done without looping the kite? A few of the shots looked like you just sent the kite (and then maybe helilooped to land). Amazing stuff either way!! Got me to subscribe!

  • @maartenhaeger
    @maartenhaeger8 ай бұрын

    I believe all of the jumps were done with at least one downloop. Sometimes you get into a situation where you're going to land "in-between" downloops, it those situations I sometimes opt to just send the kite left or right before/while landing, but that is always after I already pulled at least one downloop.

We actually did the same thing down here in NZ (drove 8-9hours) for our Woo Worlds Sessions, and seeing this realised we probably should have made a much better effort to record more of the trip... we'll be ready next year if the conditions come up 😂
