What steps should I learn first to get into kiteloops…

In the last few years with modern kites, we’ve all seen more and more people progressing or at least attempting to do big loops. Often, however, before the required skill set resulting in avoidable injury, and since my kite comparison video so many people have messaged asking how to start looping. My usual answer is to follow @stevenakkersdijk and @gethighwithmike.kite as they make the best big air progression content online, but I thought this quick video on what I think would be a good progression roadmap might look like to tick off as you build up to that full send.

This was filmed on my 10m Orbit from @northkiteboarding, in about 18-24 knots, and I’m 105kg. Usually, an 8 or 9m is the preferred size with most kites for these moves. I also highly recommend a @woosportskite with some kind of smartwatch to track mid-session. I’m using an @apple Watch 7.
