A Historic Day for Kiteboarding: New World Record Set in Denmark!

This morning, northern Denmark was the stage for kiteboarding's highest jump ever recorded. South African athlete Joshua Emanuel soared to an incredible 36.2 meters in the North Sea near Hanstholm, riding the newly unveiled CORE XR Pro 7m kite.
Congratulations! @josh_emanuel_ and @maartenhaeger.

finally someone who shows what the kite is doing too. i'm always interested in what the kite is doing and people just focus in on the rider.

Amazing. Congrats for using this storm for a new record

[@Kitesurfing]

[@rvondelen]

That fucking moment you look at your watch, gasp and realize you just broke the world record. Epic content... i think you'll never forget that feeling 👍 congrats

[@panoramix6249]

Damn, the spot is smoothy as hell. 😂 Great skills by the way. 🤙

This angle is pretty messed up. Do you have a full video / normal ratio? Looks sick btw and congrats for the world record!

[@jumelalexandre]

[@user-tl8vf3qm8d]

Id like to see a record without woosting. You're only cheating yourself. Still impressive 👏

[@user-ul7cf8eo1i]

Just another dangler in action. Yawn. Message from your local neighbourhood windsurfer. A sport that actually takes some skill and strength and more than a weekend clinic to learn.

[@user-vv2wx4kc1k]

Lol, jealous cause you will never get even 6m off the water 😂 stay salty

[@Thatguykites]

People still windsurf? I'd like go see you take a weekend class and jump 10m. 😂

This angle is pretty messed up. Do you have a full video / normal ratio? Looks sick btw and congrats for the world record!
