I really found these tips helpful - I had no idea there were ways to progressively build up to a kiteloop besides just "sending it" on the first attempt ;)
This is awesome thank's Benjamin!!! Living in CPT, I dont ride with anyone and its difficult to progress without understanding the small details like you have provided in this video. Awesome awesome awesome keep going!!
Thanks- I'm doing it this year! I even have the strapless board already bought as that is another goal I've already set myself. When the ice shifts and new wetsuit arrives I will try all these tips. Looking forward to ep2.
Finally a pro who knows how to teach others 👍🏻 Thanks for your episodes. Managed to land some kiteloops after 3 days 😅 Because of the wind i had to Start with my 12' Core Nexus and it was ok, but than with the 9' Nexus it worked better 🤩 now i work on the hight 🤪🤟💨
one extra MASSIVE TIP! only rotate/complete the first kiteloop say 340% not a full 360% or to 11 o,clock, This way when you push out the bar for the landing loop you will get more lift when you pull in. (soft landing) do this only if its a second kiteloop on landing/finishing. If your finishing/landing with a downloop, rotate the first kiteloop to just passed 360% say 1pm then pushout the bar. then pull in again, once again the landing will be soft. This method took me ages to figure out, and is not mentioned anywhere on line, so simple but saves your knees and ankles from hard landings.
Thanks so much for this series! Kiteloops videos are definitely missing a lot of small tips to not hurt yourself and your are right on it! How long are your lines to do those big kiteloop? Continue your good work thanks!
That's probably why my loops where going crazy in 30kts with a 7m gts3. I was using 24m lines! my core sensor 2s+ is coming soon. can't wait to try shorter lines!
My first megga loop was more like... lets do it... 1e time i forgot to let go of the bar after the loop. so that i had a back stall and a painfull landing. but the 2e time it worked out well. To me hight is the key.
totally agree!! In that way your vid is clear and a good way to start i think. btw, You make good videos and inspire me to go train more for freestyle this summer ;)
Hey Ben, coole Sache! Es gibt viele Tutorials zu "how to loop the kite", aber zu großen Loops findet man wenig. Z.B. Ab wann ziehe ich den Landeloop, auf "wieviel Uhr" ziehe ich den Loop, wie (tief) steht der Kite dabei im Windfenster etc :) Würde mich freuen, wenn sowas thematisiert würde! Thumbs up für das Projekt :)
Hello benjamin, there would be no way to subtitle your videos, since the automatic subtitling of youtube translates badly, we are many who watch Spanish-language videos
Hey Benjamin, i have a question about boards, can you use a wakeboard with only channels in the middle and not the ends such as the liquid force raph? What would be the pros and cons? Keeping in mind this board doesnt have fins. Cant wait for the second and third part of this video. Viele grüsse
Benjamin Beholz, perfect thank you! Keep up the good work, love your stuff even if im EXTREMELY jealous of your ability to have a great work life balance.
Hi, ich hab immer noch ziemlich Respekt den loop zu ziehen. Wieviel Stunden ca. hast du in jede der drei Übungen investiert? Und noch eine Frage... Wie hoch bist du mit dem strapless gesprungen? Oder "nur" leicht abspringen?
Hey, ja respect ist ja auch nicht verkehrt... Das geht bei jedem unterschiedlich schnell, einfach mal probieren wenn du denkst jetzt biste ready ;) Die höhe spielt keine Rolle, ich würde einfach bei weniger wind die ersten loops vom straplessboard machen...lg

thank you... I am using 20m lines on all kitesizes from 8m up to 17m. The GTS4 loops ferry good on the 20m once...
That's probably why my loops where going crazy in 30kts with a 7m gts3. I was using 24m lines! my core sensor 2s+ is coming soon. can't wait to try shorter lines!
Very very nice. Clear and helpful ! Thank you a lot
lucid dream thanks also 🙏
Awesome never thought of using a strapless board. Great stuff.
Andreas K High cool video when come day 2 and 3
Andreas K yea, that makes everything way more easy and less painfull 😜
Killer as always, Ben!

Frederik de Roo 😂 yea, that‘s definitely the fastest way but might be also the more painfull one 😜
totally agree!! In that way your vid is clear and a good way to start i think. btw, You make good videos and inspire me to go train more for freestyle this summer ;)
Frederik de Roo thank you so much 😊 glat you like them... 🙏
Today it will my first day trying the kite loop! I will send you feed back.
Victor Ayan gooe luck 😊
Can't wait for next week(s): Episodes 2 (and 3)
yea, thanks... looking foreward to release them :)
Could you explain better how to crash seafty but the butt? That's super important for all the new tricks! Thank you Ben

vielen dank, werde dieses thema in episode 2 und 3 noch etwas ausführlicher thematisieren...
Thanks for all 💪😎
Hello benjamin, there would be no way to subtitle your videos, since the automatic subtitling of youtube translates badly, we are many who watch Spanish-language videos
Thanks for the good tips. Is it best to try this in lighter winds or stronger winds?
it's definitely better in 25 + kts...
Awesome!
geil geil geil, genau das was ich suche. 3 Tage geil ich bin extrem motiviert.
tutsmc schön! das freut mich sehr... viel erfolg beim üben ✌️
Is the 9m fx 2018 Fast enough for kiteloops?

hey, yes you can use a wakeboard but it will not have the same upwind and lightwind performance than a proper kiteboard. Hope I could help you...
Benjamin Beholz, perfect thank you! Keep up the good work, love your stuff even if im EXTREMELY jealous of your ability to have a great work life balance.

You think the Core XR6 is ok to do it first time?
Sure !!! What size is it ?
and if you don't have a strapless board you just ditch your board in middle air ! I do it most of the time anyway :D
tr 4nc3 hahaha 😂
Dude, I fully understand the value of these steps, but what about if you don´t have access to a strapless board? Just f´in go for it???
Nick Grant you can do the same with a usual twintip board. Just open the straps and jump out of them as you leave the water... works out also ✌️
Thanks Ben, I´m going to follow these tips then next time I hit the water. Keep up the good work!
Welche KITEGRÖSSE für den Anfang? Manche Tutorials sagen ja nen großen kite aber meine Kumpels die loopen koennen immer 7 Max 9....
hey, das hängt immer stark von windstärke und kiteshape ab. Mit einem 8er oder 9er wirst du aber meist richtig liegen...
so dann nehm ich mir jetzt mal 3 tage frei und dann steht meiner teilnahme beim KOTA nächstes Jahr ja nichts mehr im weg
nikkite hahaha 😂
Perfect😉
