Looking to learn how to kiteloop, so looking for a good used kite around 3 years old to learn on. 99% of my kiting has been with foil kites so I've been out of the loop on inflates. What do you guys suggest? Thanks

Sorry, was doing an edit to previous comment. Then forget the bow kites and go for a c-shape or full on c-kite if that’s your thing.Adventure Logs wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:15 pmI'm looking for something that's pretty easy to learn power loops on. I can downloop/heliloop pretty well with my foils already. Thanks
That's interesting, also considering bandit bar pressure is relatively soft on 9m, could be interesting to try it out. Though I notice spike only on high range. on medium loop not so much. Once you are used to keep knee and core strong your don't get yanked out of place so spike could be fun I should take it out again side by side with my best GP next loop session, could be fun to compare now that I am better at loop, made it loop nice and smooth more like my 2014 Vegas. So advice to anyone on a hybrid like the dice - always run in the harder rear setting, kite feels so much better!ichabod wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 1:56 pmTalking of that weird power spike in the loop for some hybrids I know exactly what you mean I've noticed it with many kites - very disconcerting. As a side note, I tried a North Dice 9m recently and was surprised to discover a similar power spike in the loop even though its supposed to be a great looper. I realised it was rigged with the rear lines in the 'Soft' position. Changing them to the 'Hard' setting completely transformed the kite andichabod wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 1:56 pmTalking of that weird power spike in the loop for some hybrids I know exactly what you mean I've noticed it with many kites - very disconcerting.
