60 CORE'S MEETING Less talk and straight to the core. We are German! Sebastian "Buzzy" Witzleben: in Core we are crazy about performance! We took advantage of Core's <strong>International</strong> Meeting 2018 on the Island of Sal to interview Sebastian "Buzzy" Witzleben who together with Frank Illfrich represent the "creative heart" of the kites and boards of the German brand. It’s not by chance that I use the word heart, because this guy has a special passion for his design work and for kitesurfing. Here is what he told us about the Brand philosophy in relation to designing, concepts, materials and adopted solutions. Sebastian, during the meeting we spent the days testing the Nexus as well as the other equipment, three key words come to mind that seem to characterize the Core production: high performance, versatility and strong identity? Do you agree? First of all, thank you for these impressions, and absolutely, I definitely agree. In Core we are crazy about performance and we want every single product to guarantee the top in any condition. This is the objective to which we dedicate all our efforts. But we want these performance skills to be addressed to and appreciated not just by a small number of riders but by the majority of them. When we develop a kite, we
don't just think to its use in some specific conditions, as for instance in some spots, neither we focus on any peculiar skill of the riders. We want every kiter to be able to use our equipment at its best, anywhere and be sure to improve at every single session. For example, the XR is the kite with which it was scored the jump world record, but also a kite used by schools. Or the GTS4, a kite with which you can throw killing Megaloops, but also give it to your little sister who is just about starting and make her have fun in total safety. Each of our products strictly comply with these parameters and we want this philosophy to be what makes us acknowledged and appreciated in the market. The same parameters that apply to the Nexus too, right? Sure, the Nexus is the newest member of our family, we like to see it that way. In a sense it replaces the Free, which was the kite dedicated to beginners and schools and that gave us a lot of satisfaction. However, the Nexus is a much higher performing kite with versatility skills of use incomparable to the Free. We are talking about a kite that you can perfectly use in the waves, flat water for Freestyle and that thanks to its handling and balance skills it's an all-round kite.
