Hi Wishy,

The kite rarely makes it "easily" unless you are mega looping a 9m in 35 knots! Most the time you are doin' well if it comes back to 12 o'clock before you land.

Just redirect it or double loop it as you land, the second loop has zero power as you should be moving at, or just below wind speed.

Start with your kite at 12 and gradually loop it from lower as you get confident.

Loop nothing bigger than a 9m if you are doing real loops. A downturn is different, you can do that on a 17m.

Good luck and remember "fully commit"

I guess that makes sense, it's not going to loop faster than when I downloop it or loop it going out through the surf. I was trying to figure it out watching this video which confused me a bit:
