Looping the kite is an option, but not a very good one, as it has more downsides than advantages, as you have to follow some predetermined patterns during the turns and can not change course and power "freely" IMO
No need to bring it up to 12 before the loop, a bit more than 45 dg should be enough.So, in the typical conditions that I experience, I would be coming in port tack towards the beach with the wind cross on from my left with the kite typically at about 9. I can see a bit of a small wave on my right, downwind of me. In that scenario are you saying that I should bring the kite up to 12 then loop it down to 4 as I turn towards it? After that, won't it want to go back up to 1 ish as I want to turn on the (mushy) wave and head back the way I came from ie towards 9? Won't the kite be pulling me in the opposite direction to the one I want to go
