found a new vid on youtube of the DR boys having fun....from about halfway through the clip, the kite is getting below rider on the kiteloops....are they using shorter lines?



are there any common locals at your spot doing this stuff?

double back rolls...Those girls have more than double back rolls

hmm there is like zero pull in those loops. wen i compare the loops my waroo gave me to the loops the torch is giving me im bored of the waroo ones and still looking for fresh underwear after the torch ones

prety sweet video though, it looks like they are flying on 15m lines maybe? 15 - 18m lines for sure. looks hell good when they loop the kite below them though. but the vid from woodies dominates that good ol carbine

Have a look at the video again, this time don't just watch the subjects... there is no froth, white-caps, or wind spray... basically it isn't very windy at all, yet they are still pulling relatively big moves.

Read the title, see the words "ultra-flat"... the kites do appear to be big, but that's just because you're more used to seeing a kite with more arc. Shift your paradigm and you'll realise you're looking at a kite that might be less than 10m2.

So, kite-looping a sub 10m2, and getting above the kite, before there's even any white-caps... kinda makes it all the more impressive. Huh?
