One of the best tutorials for kiteloops! Keep up the great work! 🙂🙌👍

very few of these tutorials explicitly mention pushing the bar out as soon as the kite starts coming back up to 12 o clock and then pulling the bar back in as it gets to 12 o clock (although this one did show it in the bar animation). I'm just learning to kiteloop but this seems to me like a fundamental step that nobody talks about

Another fantastic tutorial. I am always impressed at the level of detail; demonstrating board control, kite control and variations. The narration is exact to the video demonstration and the audio and video quality are second to none. Your channel is required viewing for my kids that are advancing in the sport. Cheers!

I started to use kiteloops as waterstart!! thank you for the advices. I was to afraid to do a kiteloop and now i feel very confident! you are a good teacher. congratulations.

Your explanations are always TOP!!! I find out that I have understood more with your video than from direct esplanations from instructors and friends. The approach of not giving anything for granted is a winning one!! Please keep posting.

All the different shots you use is so useful. The drone shots while showing the bar animation in the foreground is really useful. Thank you.

I’ve just revisiting this video, but I’ve actually learned how to downloop transition after watched it few months ago. Going to try the heliloops next session! Keep up the good work!

Excellent tutorial. You somehow find an ideal balance between too much/too little information.

[ed-roberts]

Great, nice simple clear explanation with great camera-work! Thanks so much :)

[stefanlang]

Super Discription .. 👍
My next lesson ..

[ABCDEF-cxic]

excellent presentation. ....any tips for adapting these techniques to foil kites>

[opusdei]

For the backloop, do you also pull the backside of the bar just before landing (like frontloop) or earlier? In the video it seems like the backloop is initiated when the highest point of the jump has been reached...

What if you are yanked very high into the air? How do you descend safely?

[andreapalacio]

Great tutorial! Can you guys do videos on unhooking? Thanks!

[jaredbaglietto]

Thanks for the video guys. Stupid question, what is the purpose of a kiteloop? I've started trying to learn tricks like darkslide but noticed on your tutorial video on that that kiteloop is necessary? Thanks.

Where is this video recorded? Spot looks dreamy!

[Sequoiaandpines]

Do trainer kites help learning how to kitesurf?

[GaetanoCrisci]

Great hints as usual! Alex, based on what, you decide to loop clockwise or counter clockwise? or doesn't matter?
