Hey Guys, one of the topics on the forum got me thinking about how low can you go? Actually most posters here do Seriously though, lets compare kites and kiters by their speed and precission that is required for a really low megaloop. So feel free to post anything lower than Steven Akkersdjik's photo on the Core GTS 2, or if you cant find one just post a photo of your donkey:)
For discussing kites, I guess it would be good to have an optimized aerodynamic and intelligent arc for, you know, even more performance. Probably want some radical reaction tips on some kind of future-C shape for the ultimate in radically precise performance..... would be nice tho if it didn't cut down on the versatility any. You know, keep it an all in one kite.
Gear: SCREAMER 7/9/12/14 for Free Style. Not to forget the SCREAMER 10 LTD for my one go kite. SURF 8 & 12 for the waves. RENEGADE 6.5 and 9 for all around kiting. And some times I use my son's JUNIOR PRO 4 when it blows 45+ for the waves. Just try the EPICKITES and you will see for yourself.

If you want to go really low on a kite loop you need to use at least 15 meter lines on your bar. By using these size lines you will be above your kite and the kite will stay low to the water but that is if you commit well. The landing are not as clean as using 18 or 20 meter lines.
At 2:05 what makes this megaloop unusual is that he pulls the bar down with the front hand...
...and loops the kite in front of him..a downloop megaloop ...looks crazy and difficult to land that way
