Last year I was looping my kite on every turn! It was easier and looked cool too. This year on the new TDII it seems like as I go into the loop the kite ends up really close to the water and I'm fully powered up. I can do them, but gone is the feeling of confidence and the kite is in low 3rd gear of the window.
Possible solutions:
start the kite loop higher in window and point board towards kite?
tweek the kite so that it turns faster?
don't loop?

thanks for your help Very Happy
