This season I've started to kiteloop too- WOW!!! the power is amazing. There's no feeling like it. My whole body get chills when I just think about it.
My first kiteloop wasn't really a kiteloop, but still fun. I stayed hooked it (I'm going to start working on unhooked soon) and started my kite at 10 then sent it to 1:30 or 2. When I'm in the air and I feel comfortable, I send the kite the rest of the way around. You kinda pendulum under the kite. Make sure you point your board STRAIGHT downwind WOW!! I'm getting chills right now.
Today I was modifying the KL with a backroll- CHILLS AGAIN. I didn't jump high at all. Just started a simple backroll and pulled HARD with the backhand. I would pendulum and just skim the surface. WOW!!!!
Good Luck with the learning process!!!
Mike, Da Hurricane
DAMN I LOVE KITEBOARDING!!!
