Core Pace Pro Launch interview with Giel Vlugt

Hey everyone!
Big news from Core—they’ve just launched their latest high-performance kites. Say hello to the Core Pace Pro and the Sensor 4 (Pro) bar. This setup looks super promising and seems to be delivering some seriously good vibes. We caught up with Giel Vlugt, aka Double-G, who’s an International Core Team Rider. Giel’s been deeply involved in the development process along with the Core R&D team. Huge shoutout to kite designer Frank Ilfrich for leading the charge on this one. They’ve faced some challenges working with Aluula materials, but it looks like they’ve really nailed it.

So, what's the deal with the Pace Pro? It’s got a 3-strut design, made not just for big air but for pulling off those epic big-air maneuvers. Whether you’re getting into your first kiteloops or you’re already chasing doubles, the Pace Pro has got you covered. It recovers super fast after loops, catching you at just the right moment and giving you a smooth ride. A quicker kite might sound a bit intimidating, but it’s super intuitive—just trust your instincts and go with it. Plus, there’s room to correct any mistakes, making the Pace Pro perfect for riders who want more than just boosting big like on the XR. The XR Pro might give you bigger jumps and loops, but the feel is totally different. Giel breaks down all the details and more in this video, so give it a watch and see if the Pace Pro is going to be your next kite. Catch you out on the water!
