Hey,

Anyone been able to pull off a tack downlooping the kite? Instead of bringing the kite over the window from 10-2 / 2-10, downloop the kite 10-12-back to 10 and beyond for a downloop. Any video?

I have been itching to try it but just wanted to see some video first.

It sounds as if you don't mean this one, with a loop on the end:

to keep foiling, even if in this example the loop was coming to late


But a downloop before tacking, that is pulling you hard downwind ... while you try to keep momentum during upwind turn? Maybe I don't understand, but doesn't make to much sense to me or to say, sounds hard if not impossible.

So maybe do a video first, as not everything called impossible, can't be done.

Again not what you are talking about I assume (last maneuver in the clip):

Seems like you have to go for it and film it for us!
