Thanks all for your replies.
Peter, you are quite right that the wind is much more onshore than in the Switch video. Those look like dream conditions for me! Just trying to get my head around your suggestion, which is a good one. The only problem is that the wave breaks to the right, looking at it coming in to the beach, so that I would be only hitting white water, that is if I have got what you are saying correctly.
I am still struggling with the idea of looping the kite- wouldn't that just pull me off my feet or is it just a case of technique?
