I can do kiteloops, and they are nuts! Be carefully attempting these! especielly in high winds! Hurts pretty bad when you fall. if you are going to attempt them, go out far enough to if you get dragged theres nothing downwind at all, and deep enough water. I ride with a helmet and an impact vest, it still hurts when you fall on these.

Good advice! I have done quite a few kiteloops or even more violent & painful, "kiterloops" usually by accident however. Kiterloops consist of the kite staying more or less stationary while the kiter flies along an elliptical path at something near lightspeed to smash in, ouch! Some of those initiated by higher jumps 30 ft. plus have been quite painful even with impact vest and helmet. I credit the impact vest in sparing me broken ribs on a number of ocassions, still it HURTS!
