🔥 Click HERE to shop the GEAR! 😃🤙🏽 https://www.mackiteboarding.com Kite design vs materials—what really impacts kite performance, and are we approaching a ceiling in kiteboarding? In this interview, legendary kite designer Ralf Groesel breaks down how modern kite design continues to evolve, and why both materials and design knowledge play equally critical roles. Filmed in Cape Town with the Brazilian Brothers, this conversation dives into how advancements such as laminate materials and Penta TX have reshaped kite performance, making kites more accessible, easier to ride, and more efficient for all skill levels. Ralf also explains why kite performance can feel drastically different depending on location—comparing dense, cold Cape Town wind to lighter, warmer conditions in places like Brazil. If you’ve ever wondered whether kiteboarding performance is maxed out—or if there’s still room to grow—this is a must-watch. In this video: • Kite design vs material innovation explained • How new materials changed kiteboarding performance • Are we reaching a performance ceiling • Why small design tweaks make a big difference • Cape Town vs Brazil wind differences • How wind density affects kite feel and control • Why ease of use matters more than peak performance #brazilianbrothers #kiteboarding #kitesurfing Thanks for sharing the stoke with us here at MACkiteboarding! 🤙🏽 Whether you're into kiteboarding, wing foiling, or just dreaming of your next session, we're stoked to have you along for the ride.
