Improving my kiteloops

Loops look quite relaxed from the outside, but when you are up there and lack the experience, they are scary as hell. There has been a full week of sujnshine and wind. I was hoping to take my 7m for a ride, but the wind was too low. So the 9m Orbit was at it again.
My mission right now is to expand my looping confidence. 5-6m is the area I fell good at. In the past at 7m I couldn´t stick most of the landings. 8m was beyond my reach.
This time I felt much better. The recent training sessions set me up for this day. Some of those loops are in the 8-9m range. Also as you loop the kite in higher jumps, you can loop it lower. Sadly the camera warps the picture and this cannot be seen as good as the height, but I managed to push on both ends, height and angle. Doing this is exhilarating.

Sieht nach 'ner gelungenen Session aus ... nice ;) Irgendwie sieht das loopen bei deinen Videos immer so einfach aus ... wieso kann ich das dann noch nicht? :P

Danke, es kostet mich jedes mal aufs neue Überwindung den ersten Loop zu ziehen. Weil du bei unter 20 Knoten an 3 Tagen in Folge rausgehst und nicht am einzigen 20 Knoten Tag, weil dann dein Arm weh tut :)

Looks good! Planning to do my first Loops this season, but right now still a bit too afraid to pull through when in the air :D . What would you recommend as first loops, maybe low hight, so the kite doesn´t need to catch me?

[@Alexomator]

Micro or baby-loops should be the first step. They are quite easy. You can find super good intros from kitesurf college or others. Follow them closely! Other than that ... micro or baby-loops as mentioned, below 1,5m. Next is jumps into the wind with at least 6m in height. I´m not sponsored by north, but I must admit, the Orbit 2024 is a super boost in both relevant fields: height and speed.

ser godt ud!

tak

I see you ride the harlem Force on a low V... does it otherwise make the 7meter too fast(if you ride it on a high V)?

It´s not a big difference from my perspective. I´ver put in a splitter to test it and there wasn´t that much of a change.
