There’s so many disciplines in kitesurfing these days – racing, freestyle, surf but I feel the ultimate thing that really makes the sport unique from any other simply going big and the mega loop! For those that don’t know what a mega loop its the most powered trick in kitesurfing that involves looping the kite directly downwind or in front of you as you initiate a jump. The kite will that drive through the power zone pulling you horizontally across the sky. As you can imagine there are many risks involved and should only be attempted by advanced riders.
This has been my personal favourite trick for years and yesterday turned out to be a great day. Watching the live streamed event of the Red Bull Mega Loop Challenge Holland and then actually going to the beach and throwing out a few loops with myself with Jake. We had a pretty good session! 🙂
