[@stevenakkersdijk]

Slowly getting a couple. Will try and enjoy it as much as possible with the restrictions

[@leander-mbkitesurfing1457]

Just whats needed at this time, thanks for the great content!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Awesome to hear that you like it! I'll try and keep them coming.

[@janventum3393]

Really helpful hints for trying the next trick!👍🏼The fitness plan specific for kiters is great idea!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Sweet. I'll add a +1 to that option. And thanks for the positive feedback

[@niekvanwensen]

I always just send it, today I was struggling with one-footers and I just sent a board-off by the tail a few times and almost landed one, after trying those I tried a one-footer again and landed it super clean

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Nice man! I'm happy for you. For some people it works best to just go out there and do it. Others prefer to prepare in the most ways possible. I'm also more of a just do it person, but when tricks start to get complex with multiple rotations and kite steering becomes critical, I prefer some visualisation.

[@niekvanwensen]

@@stevenakkersdijk totally agree, some tricks are way too dangerous or confusing to just send it, like kiteloop variations

[@Olegisrael1234]

You asked go ideas: So you can just show us how you really spend your time in generally and it will be also enjoyable to watch. Good luck and stay save !

[@stevenakkersdijk]

At the moment it's not that interesting due to the national confinement we have here. Lots of time on the phone for work and entertainment, next to that filming and editing stuff like this . Additionally writing articles for magazine and some accounting 🙈

[@Olegisrael1234]

Steven Akkersdijk I don’t think that the boring things from you could be not interesting :) good luck

[@Edenzzzzz]

Important and very useful content man, thank you!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Nice man! I'm happy you're getting something out of it.

Can u comment on why you used the nexus in KOTA vs the XR. Cheers love your videos!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

I used the Nexus and GTS in KOTA because they're faster and more playfull kites. Using the XR would have been a very good option to get the height and I'll reconsider it for next year. But as kiteloops are my main trademark, I prefer riding the GTS and more playfull and less explosive (vs GTS) NEXUS. Hope that helps! Thanks for you views and reply

[@lennardkite3264]

You can do a Video about a good home workout for kiters 🙂

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Awesome! I also had that in my mind, but will start on it now for sure.

[@lennardkite3264]

@@stevenakkersdijk Nice I can't wait for it! 😉

[@willowsurfs]

Dope!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

When this Corona stuff is over we should start working on some videos like this

[@matsstaben2656]

Nice idea🔥🚀 Sick Video

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks Mats! Happy you like it.

[@lennardkite3264]

I am lucky, because I am able to go outside and go kiting 🤙 Please make more content 😁 for me it is helpful and over all cool and nice content! Keep it up! 🤙✌

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Which country are you in at the moment? That is lucky, I was hoping that it would be the same here

[@lennardkite3264]

@@stevenakkersdijk At the moment I am in Germany.

[@EpicGust]

great stuff!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks man!

[@giu.kitesurf]

Hey Steven, which size is your kiteboard? tks mate

[@stevenakkersdijk]

I'm riding a 139x41,5 Carved Tantrum with minimum flex for my big air. When I go out on boots i try to ride bigger than 140

[@cristianohaddock3690]

Is that possible to invite you to maldives for a week or 2 ? You can have a vecation and teach us few tricks ?

[@cristianohaddock3690]

And tell us little bit more about kite settings. This might be funny for you but we only use default setting or company setting, I see there are 3 knots we can set the kite but no idea why and when to change the setting and uts purpose.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Hey Cristiano, Something like this would be possible, but with the current situation I'm not sure when we would be able to do it. If you're serious about it, could you write me an email or direct message on facebook / instagram? steven(at)stevenakkersdijk.com

[@cristianohaddock3690]
