Default Can it be done on water????

http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2345612

check the video in the 2nd or 3rd post..

at the 2:50 mark the guy on kitebuggy sends the kite completely around him.. a full 360 round-a-bout of the kite..

looks like he uses the intial whip to send him far downwind of the kite but is somehow able to fly the kite AROUND the wind window and back thru to the other side.

of course I'd be more impressed if he'd thrown in a backroll or two.. but thats just me.

It's really just a double down loop... you down loop, shoot straight down wind (under the kite) and keep pulling... the kite loops again but by now you are in front of it... a buggy makes it look a little different but I bet you could do it no problem.

You could throw a trick (and s-bend would look good) on the first loop but not the second.

I don't know if this can be done on water. Do they have the technology to make those buggies float??

lol. Talked to Scott about this trick and it may be more than I originally anticipated. I meant to try it today but forgot. Dang.

Would have been embarrassing anyway I bet.
