Re: Need help understanding Kiteloops
I'm in the process of learning kiteloops and I absolutely agree with you. Theory is a must and many people are unable to explain it clearly. The opening post is very clear and helpful. Even 3 years later!dracop wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2014 5:33 pmAnyways I actually learn really well by getting the theory first then slowly trying it out on the water in a methodical fashion. My biggest problem learning form people on the water is that they struggle to communicate/verbalize what it is they are doing, comments like "I go hmmm, unnnmmm, then push out like this, etc.) are hard to learn from and thats what I get. Online learning explaining that fully sheeted in/rotated causes a tighter loop with less power and mostly vertical uplift is a comment I can easily learn from and adapt on the water, which is what I did. Then I start playing with the different elements with small adjustments to see what each aspect does.
Thanks
