The weather delivered consistently: plenty of wind and frequent sunshine. A true win for the many visitors who dropped by – for conversations, test rides, and to find the setup that fits them best. That’s why we’re on site – to showcase our entire product range and give everyone the chance to experience it for themselves.

For CORE, it was a weekend to remember. Over 500 testers took the opportunity to try out our full line-up. More than 2,500 products – from kites and bars to boards and foils – went through the hands of curious riders. Some even got an exclusive sneak peek at gear that hasn’t officially launched yet. The demand was massive: as soon as one kite came back to shore, the next rider was already waiting. For our team, that meant little time to catch our breath – but maximum joy. Because our main goal for this big event is simple: making sure as many riders as possible can experience our new products.

Our team riders Steven Akkersdijk, Vrinda Hamal and Ben Beholz were also there and fully in the mix. Whether nerding out on setups, launching and landing kites, or entertaining the crowd with Steven’s foil tricks – they were go-to contacts, sources of inspiration, and an integral part of the community. Beyond the endless water sessions, the CORE booth at the Kite Village became a hotspot. Business partners, long-time CORE riders, and curious newcomers all came together under one roof.

What remains? Above all, the countless moments when riders returned from the water glowing with stoke. That kind of excitement is our motivation – and exactly why we’re already looking forward to next year in St. Peter-Ording and all the events still to come.
