Forgot to mention! On minute 4:10s during the late backroll you add this beautiful late rotation to the landing. This looks sick!! Haven't found any tutorials on how to approach this safely and how to practice. Since your tutorials are amazing, maybe it's an idea for your next one ;) Thanks again for the useful content!!

Cheers Steve, just ordered! Looking forward to feeling the difference between these and the 3. Was great to meet you in whitsands SA (ribs now healed 😅) Top man, got time for everyone 🤙🏼

[MrVejavaikis]

As always, amazing video and thanks for sharing your experience!

Amazing video quality and cool overview 🙌🙌

Hi Steven, great vibes and an amazing video !! I wanted to know whether XR7 or this new Nexus 4 is a better choice for a rider who wants to do simple kite loops, simple unhooks, and basic hooked-in tricks. Many thanks. Cheers.

[freddydad]

I'm guessing with your skills, you could all that with any comparable kite..

[JustGoKitesurfing]

Thanks for the video Steven! Very insightful review. Love the Nexus as well but currently moved to XR PRO for the boosting and hangtime ;)

I moved from the XRs to the Nexus 3 for most of my riding, and I love how much faster it is, and I love how it drifts better on foiling.... my issue is for twin tipping, it feels like it rides 2-3m smaller than an XR. I'm 235lbs... and I got a similar 12/9/7m quiver as my XRs... but I feel like I should have almost sized up for the nexus? What do you recommend?

[tuncherferad]

3:38 - it is about time to remove the GTS from that chart boss :) Nonetheless, always appreciate your content. Much love from Toronto.

Awesome kite for do it all. I’d love to know what it costs you in excess baggage to fly with every single size in the lineup.

Sick video homie! Wish I was in Mauritius with you. 🤩

Hey Steven, awesome video as always!

Spent a few months on the XR8 12m this season, but do like to surf when I can and this Nexus 4 seems like it might be a better fit.

Do you have any input on which kite has the better low end (12m): XR, XR Pro or this new Nexus 4?

Thanks!

So, ¿is it a mix between Section 4 and GTS 6?

[OptimisPrime-zr]

Hi Steven, I was hoping you might be of some help, I am looking to buy a new Nexus 4 (I have a Nexus 3 in a 9m). Do you think that the next size up should be a 12m or could a 13, 5m work? I am just scared that the gap between a 9 and 13.5 might be too big. I can afford no more than a 2 kite quiver.

Second question... how would you compare the pull per size of a nexus vs XR.

Thanks heaps

[mkslave]

Thanks for your valuable contribution.
Bought a Nexus 3 (11m2) last year but conditions didn't let me fly it.
Is Nexus 3 comparable in behaviour to Nexus 4?
Interested specially in Nexus 3 Kite-loop-Behaviour.
Like to learn it, but was hesitating.

[rogermercadal]

Hi Steven! Which kite is more lighter? The gts or nexus? Im using my gts5 10m for foiling and is perfect with 9 14knts. I dont know if I have to change to nexus.

hey hey!

Mauritius, so awesome. Nexus 8 is my next kite: my Section 7 just had it's 10th repair.
I watched the roll video and realized my back foot was off, so next time I went high and I could roll and looped and started going down but with lack of support from 7 I had to let go of the board and crashed safely in the water.
On another hand an idea of filming a video foiling big waves in Moulay came up, Section would be much better for that.

what do you think? whats more crazy: backroll kiteloop strapless or foiling in big surf?

[NilzFR]

How is the Material compared to the Alulla? Thanks!

[joshvanstee-theTood]

Is the bottom end wind range better on the Nexus 4 vs 3?
