So the kite is at 45 degrees, either 10 or 2 depending on the direction of travel, a downloop is down towards the direction of travel and a backloop is the opposite direction of travel...back up and over. Is this correct??
Thanks again.
Down loop is with bottom hand back loop is with top hand ,best to start with down loop as your not gonna hammer yourself as much landings from wrongly timed back loops can be harsh,but as plummet said it's all about commitment don't back out half way.
Practice your downloops mid transition before you try them mid air. It will give you a sense of timing, power generated, need to commit, etc.
If you've never tried downloops before, consider practising in shallow water without a board.
