[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks! Will do! 🤙

[@yulinerinwang]

How about a tutorial on that blind take off front roll to blind, and the moonslide to wrapped :p

[@stevenakkersdijk]

You might be the only one who watches it 😉 I'll try and do a short on blind take off, could be interesting for more people.

[@yulinerinwang]

@@stevenakkersdijk That'd be very helpful! I've scoured the internet and yet to found one explaining how to take off from blind haha

[@basianiez5576]

what a sick edit! awesome tricks

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Appreciate it!

[@supericeman2222]

Awesome vid Steven. Love the content. Your a big guy and have to be riding powered, but all your moves are so smooth and effortless. My goal is to link more tricks together, as you do so well. Props to your photographer too🤩

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks a lot! For me the style comes with control over the tricks you do. I absolutely love linking tricks together lately, give it some tries and I'm certain you'll get them quick quick. José did an awesome job with filming, makes my life editing a lot easier 😅

[@carlitosboss]

You have the best kite videos! Have a great new year and hope to see you in Portugal someday 🪂

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks! Would love to come back to Portugal, really enjoyed it!

[@Saxofaxo]

sweet styling :) where did you do paragliding?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

I went paragliding at Mirador Balandra, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Was an awesome place to get a flight int.

[@LeCharlesLozanoBD]

HNY!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Are you in SF / Bay Area in 2023? 🪁🏄🏾‍♂️🌊🤙🏾

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Same to you! I'll be on the east coast of the US in April. Probably doing a camp in April!

[@LeCharlesLozanoBD]

@@stevenakkersdijk TY for following up! I’ll be on the look 👀 out!! Would love to join 🤙🏾

[@tuncherferad6128]

Great content as always @Steven! Would you be able to share ( via reply or a new video ) what changes are done to the new Sensor 3 Pro bar - released a few weeks ago? Much love from Toronto.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Hey Tuncher, I'm glad you like the content! They did a small update on the Sensor 3S, I'll try to summarize it out of my head. - New and slightly thicker floaters (with the old ones the bar wouldn't float 😅) - Improved grip - Different sizing for the 3S PRO bar. Normal and compact (same size as foil bar, but with the stronger and thicker tectanium lines) - New depower adjuster for easier maintenance when changing lines. That's about it.

[@tuncherferad6128]

@@stevenakkersdijk - ma man! Appreciate you as always.

[@SrJFK]

Brilliant stuff as always Steven. Random question. Do you ride the same board size in all conditions?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Yes I do! I always ride my 139 x 41,5 Carved Imperator 7. But with the changing conditions I often swap boards, for instance a foil in the light winds and strapless surfboard in the waves.

[@zasz83]

Hey, why don't you use carved pads? Do you think pro pads have better cushioning?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

I prefer the feel of the pro pads vs the carved. When I started doing a lot of board offs, I also prefer the simplicity of the pro strap versus the buckle system.

[@Wightkitesurfer]

Ever heard of mowing the lawn? 😂

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Oh yes, and I love doing it 😉
