Running away from the European cold weather we went to Brazil. In our luggage we had the new Core Combat GT.
For the next 18 days our team and a couple of friends were able to ride it for long and long hours. The wind didn’t even miss one day. Our “road trip†was a downwind, from Cumbuco to as far as Jericoacoara. With a lot of adventures on our way; our 4Ã-4 broke 3 times, we had a great ride along the Brazilian Coast with Core Kites.
