Kiteloops and megaloops

The kiteloop is a trick in which the kite surfer lets his kite make a loop. The kiteloop can be as extreme as you want. For example, you can do it kitesurfing if you let your kitesurf board run a bit downwind. Or during the landing of a (high) jump where the kite has come far over you. Then the kiteloop can help to quickly place your kite properly in the wind window. You can do kiteloops and other kitesurfing tricks build up, expand and each time perform something more extreme. You also have the megaloops for which the following applies: all or nothing.

Megaloops is a concept in itself and requires 100% commitment

Pulling your kite through a kiteloop during a jump high in the air is a completely different story than the kiteloops described above. You are then, as it were, shot because the kite goes straight through the power zone. This gives an enormous power explosion. You need 100% commitment for a mega run. If you start a mega run just before you reach the highest point of your jump, there is no going back. You have to continue the kiteloop to avoid a huge crash.

If the megaloop succeeds, it gives a huge kick. If the megaloop fails and results in a hard crash. A few of these crashes can make you decide to give up. We experienced this process years ago. Still, he's back on our list to master this year.

Red Bull Megaloop

Explanation kiteloops and megaloops is not possible without the Red Bull Megaloop. Red Bull has even turned the Megaloop into an event in the Netherlands. The Red Bull Megaloop is together with the Red Bull King of the Air the most extreme kitesurfing event in the world. At the Red Bull Megaloop, when the storm ravages the Netherlands, kitesurfers are challenged to show their largest megaloops. Dutch kite surfers like Reuben Spring are the founders of the kitesurf megaloop.

Megaloop for kite surfers like a marathon for runners

This of course makes no sense because kitesurfing is a super diverse sport. Kitesurfing offers something for everyone and it's all about having fun. Anyway, we have ambition ourselves and the megaloop feels like a kind of milestone for us. As for a runner who has been running for 20 years and has never run a marathon. At some point, it has to happen for many. Read the special'Megaloop for kitesurfers as a marathon for runners.'
