Failing is part of the game and I have a high amount of crashes during my sessions. Most of them are mellow, others hurt a bit more. Learn from them and try again

Refreshing to see. Hear so many guys in kiting say they never crash, are bored and switch to winging, but they never tried anything more than cruising for fear of looking uncool crashing

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Oh yes, I can totally imagine that. It makes such a difference if you're willing to crash and keep on trying new things.

@michalostaszewski4718 Год назад

Best kitesurfing YT channel as of today in my opinion. Thanks for this video, showing us to embrace the failure, as always in a super likable way. Keep up the great work Steven.

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Wow, thank you! Thanks for the support and I'm really stoked to hear that you enjoy the content.

@vinny61389 Год назад

@2:33: DO A KICKFLIP! This was fantastic. It's nice to see that in between all the perfect executions there's many attempts that don't always work out and that it's ok to fall.

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Oh yes, it's very rare to get it right the first try!

@jellejanwillie Год назад

Love the focus on rotational 'small' air tricks! So refreshing to see after all the standard big air whoopiedoopies.

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Glad you also like it! the small rotations are usually very technical but without the high risk factor from big air

@nx9537 Год назад

Super Steezy moves!

@sauce729 11 месяцев назад

After spending 70% of the time in the water yesterday, trying to learn riding switch and tacking, a really appreciated seeing this video. We're all beginners at something.

@stevenakkersdijk 10 месяцев назад

I can imagine that this video made you feel better. We've all been beginners and when we try something new it often involves many crashes! You'll be surprised about the amount of crashes I go through before I land a new trick.

@sauce729 10 месяцев назад

@@stevenakkersdijk Your kite foiling videos are also really helpful. Tacking on a foil feels so weird, I haven't quite figured out the timing / kite control.

@eugene7758 Год назад

Man, your crashes are way more stylish than many others' tricks done properly

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

😂 That's because I practice my crashes a lot 😉

@miukymiu1104 Год назад

@freddydad1 Год назад

Me too, the trick is not to get injured..

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

That's for sure! There is a big difference between crashing with control and crashing out of control. Most of the crashes you see here are with control (I know what the kite is doing and what position I'll be in when I hit the water)

@criminaldave3703 Год назад

Awesome riding brother.. living the dream !!! Tunes were kicking too

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the view

@loridelia5414 Год назад

Love this video! Now I can justify all my crashes that I am made fun of!

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

If they're making fun of your crashes they're probably not trying anything new themselves 😉

@xapuri11 Год назад

Sensacional!!!!

@nx9537 Год назад

Formula for learning new trick: 1. Watch SA Masterclass Video 2. Crash repeatedly 3. Return to 1 multiple times. 4. Finally master the trick. 5. Return to SA Masterclass for next trick tutorial

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

😂😂 Love it! As you can see in the video I am often stuck at number 2 😅😉

@fasteddiegr Год назад

Very nice

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Thanks!

@fifty-sqrd Год назад

Yeah, more simple crashes - less bad crashes. Hopefully 🤷‍♂️

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

That would be nice. I have to say that crashes usually get less bad as you understand body and kite position more and more. Which helps a lot with "controlled" crashes.

@fifty-sqrd Год назад

@@stevenakkersdijk oh yeah! How to break through our limits just enough to progress but stay safe at the same time? It relates for me to the "flow state" idea by Csikszentmihalyi, Hungarian philosopher.

@CaneFantasma00 Год назад

Ok... you crash a lot but you are a funcking master man.. =)

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

😅 Thanks, I just kept on trying and trying 😉

@He110World Год назад

man loved that, cracked up loads.. Irrespective if you did actually complete the trick the attempts were just amazing.

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Happy you enjoyed it! Hopefully it inspired some new tricks or got you excited to go out there and try something new. 😉

@XE-4 Год назад

So confidence inducing to see this. If you don't go past your limits how do you know where they are?

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

🙈 that is a good one

@Witjes Год назад

Lekker veelzijdig zeg! Alle disciplines komen voorbij...zelf crash ik vaak genoeg maar een flinke klap kan je toch wat huiverig maken om het nogmaals te proberen!

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

Ja dat is zeker zo! Voor mij werkt het het beste om hem dan wel weer gelijk te doen (wetende wat je fout deed) Dan ben je er ook een stuk minder bang voor bij de volgende sessie 😉

@AZAZA19981907 Год назад

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

@Nilz4FR Год назад

Sick video brother. Thanks for the outtakes. Whats your imperator board size? I am 85kg 1,90m and got the 141/43

@stevenakkersdijk Год назад

I ride the 139x 42,5 with 88kg and 196cm. Depending on the conditions you're riding the 141 is awesome though. Better in the days where the wind is less than 20 knots. Thanks for the support and have fun on the water
