Best light wind downwind kite?

[Peter_Frank]

I find it quite easy to loop the kite in really light wind ozchrisb ?

Of course you ride in zig-zag as you yaw turn the board when the max pull comes, to go deep and increase VMG, and a bit back when the kite slows down.

But find it way easier to forward loop it downwind - and more difficult to keep the speed when you backloop, as you hit a "soft" point where it is difficult to keep power

So I would just forward loop only, in racing, and spin the bar.

But for freeride I find it more challenging and "right" - to loop it back and not spin the bar ha haa (I know it sounds stupid but thats me...)

Yes the forward loop is fine, but the loop back is hard when it's light.
