Where the misleading videos come to you where kite surfers spin two heliloops and thus claim a double kite loop, the time has finally come. The Dutch professional kite surfer Gil Flew has been underway for some time. However, last week he had a great week with some breakthroughs. That's how he turned the famous S-Loop† Even more special and perhaps never done or recorded before was the double kiteloop.
Giel or the Ocean Rodeo Rise
Giel of course! He lives for it and is more than 100% committed. However, you should not forget the Ocean Rodeo Rise kite for its performance for the double kiteloop. look at the Ocean Rodeo Rise review, because recently I tested the Ocean Rodeo Rise. As you know is an extreme mega run another challenge for me. But this kite felt special and that's why one of my great examples asked close to home Bram Sanstra to test with. Response:
What a blood-fast kite. You would make a double kiteloop with it. -Bram Sanstra
Double kiteloop video
Giel showed it shortly afterwards. In short: all praise to Giel. However, as you read, we suspect the kite to be able to make this possible.
High performance kites help breakthrough
Now comes the key question: do the latest high performance kites help to achieve breakthroughs? We always refer to this concept as 'lite surfing† Can a 10 meter kite equipped with the latest technology, and therefore also cost around 3.000 euros, make a difference in this area? Or is it a coincidence and will we soon see other professional kite surfers making double kite loops with average material? Will the double kiteloop become the norm during the Red Bull King Of The Air 2022† Who knows, but Giel's double kiteloop is and remains legendary.
Disclaimer: if I'm wrong and the double kiteloop has already been performed. Let us know below. Preferably with name and surname and natural visual material.
