Tom.. as i was driving away yesterday I saw you hit a really nice 15foot kiteloop.. looked awesome.. both you and Scott are getting these dialed in.. getting that nice horizontal slingshot ... and then getting the kite back up above you before you hit the water..

i'd say that even from doing small 3 to 4 foot kiteloops, the main element to not getting worked is to get that kite back up (or at least on its upward trajectory) before you hit the water. having a kite that is consistently powered thru the loops makes that so much easier..

Thanks Bryan .. it's funny how different a kite loop can be.. you can do it late and come down like a butterfly on a daisy... or start doing it earlier and earlier until you find yourself grunting and getting whipped up as the kite loops. I had done these "megaloops" occasionally but not as often and aggressive as Scott has been doing them for fear of breaking gear ... he sort of got me fired up and I've been doing them a lot lately (and more aggressively than I had been doing in the past). I can tell it's going to get expensive though ... :D

Lots of fun but there is some risk of injury as they get more aggressive. I wouldn't recommend the aggressive ones unless you can afford a medical bill and the time missed from work.

I botched two of them yesterday and came down hard enough to bounce.

Scott enjoyed it... I could hear him laughing from shore hahaha.

tom were you both on 08 9m waroos?

We took turns on his kite. It wasn't really windy enough to do all that much.
It was about 18 to 20 by the time we did the loops back to back.
It was blowing pretty good about an hour later, that would have been better... oh well.
You need 25 plus, imo.
