I was just as scared as I was during my very first kiteloop back then 😅
this is awesome to see for those of us stuck riding 12m + kites. It's so easy to see guys on youtube pull stuff on 7m kites, but this is incredibly helpful if you don't live somewhere that can take such a small kite! Would love to see more.
Thank you, Ben, for this helpful video. Good to see, that even for an experienced kiteboarder, kite-loops aren't necessarily a given thing on big kites. Also, I find it very interesting, to hear you mention that only a couple of years ago this kund of loop seemed very unlikely to even think of with a kite of that size. I wasn't aware, that kite agility has evolved so much in only a few years of time. Always appreciate your quality and joyful videos, thank you!
Love it! No excuses anymore to start doing kiteloops on my 11m..
what line length did you use? and recommendations on the length of the lines?
I used 24m
Great video Bend..Enjoy Greece!!!
13,5 er GTS 6 ist auch gut loopbar :) starkes Video wie immer !👌🏼
Very interesting Ben , like a lot the video, good to know that is possible with Big sizes ,thanks for share 💪
Try on a XR6/7
Ich hab den 15er Juice Dlab auf 8m auch schon durchgezogen. Muss man halt echt voll comitten!
Uffff Mega gut.😮💨 der erste muss sich krass angefühlt haben 😅💃🏼🪩
Great video🤙🏾🤩
What an amazing spot
Where is that exactly ??
It is in Greece, I once ride here, Paralia Drepano, it seems

Mr smooth, very nice
Nice one👍🏼 - Did any of the Core team riders loop an XR 13,5?
Good question 🤔
For sure. It’s possible. I’ve done it once.
Hi Ben, sehr cool! Geht das auch mit dem XR 13.5? Wollte diesen Sommer mal mit dem Loopen anfangen. Zuerst natürlich mit dem 10er und 12er. Viele Grüsse und bis bald mal wieder in Silva (grüner Helm, schwarzer Core)
Ich denke mit dem XR8 wird das sehr schwierig, der neue Nexus looped schon ganz anders und schneller.
13.5 xr8 geht easy wenn man hoch genug ist
День добрый! Супер! Успеха!
Fastest kite setup Wave? Not freestyle?
Frage mich in dem Kontext, ob ich zum üben von kiteloops meine Nexus 3 (10er und 8er) auf Wave stellen sollte.
Wave is faster, freestyle is slower as in wave you want a faster kite and while unhooked you want a kite that doesnt move.

Yes completely agree. What is the best for kiteloops ?
Ben is doing kiteloops in freestyle setting as far as I know.
@@randomhuman8684 kite in wave settings will be faster while in freestyle will be gruntier…. It’s personal preference.
@@giorgio4660 i tested both and my feel that wave setting was slower than freestyle. And kite wing in freestyle faster shape.
crazy! i'm still scared to loop 9m orbit =)))
I looped 16 meters 30 years ago
of course you did.
We all did.
Very Nice! Where is this spot?
That‘s in greece (Raches)
Super Ben…..danke……linelenght on bar ?
It was 24m
Why Nexus instead of XR? Have you ever ridden a 13.5m XR?
Of course, the xr is slower
I perfused because I weigh 100kg and the average wind in my region is 15 to 20 knots. I currently sail with a 12 meter kite, but I was thinking about getting a bigger one. Which do you suggest, XR or Nexus?
@@pedrodantas9292 For bigger kites it's usually better to get a kite like XR/Rebel/Edge as they provide more airtime and power, although for looping they are at a disadvantage compared to faster kites with lower bar pressure.
Would you say Nexus 4 12m loops better than a GTS 6 12m?
In general I would say the Nexus
@@BenBeholzVlogs that’s just crazy
Is there a trick to riding the Nexus coming from XRs? I always feel like I'm underpowered when I'm riding the same size. I love how much faster it is... but I'm a heavy guy and I feel like I'm constantly pumping the nexus to keep going.
That‘s true, the Nexus has less „power“ on it‘s own. With the Nexus the power comes from the „right“ steering
@@BenBeholzVlogsany tips on how to get that power? I feel like I’m cranking on it and can’t get enough
i came from xr 7 in 7 9 12 and went to nexus 8 10 13,5 worked well at 95 kg
Minute 0:50 🤸♂️💪😱
Du hast einen Spot in Montenegro verlinkt 🤔
Danke dir, jetzt nicht mehr :)
👍🏻
easy i loop with a 14 meter.. but its my only kite thats why 😂. its like an angry bull kite

That's why you didn't want to sell that kite to me 😢
Haha
