Watercamper, Yeah, the UFO is sweet, if you foil buy the 5 and 7, those are great for the gorge.
Nak, it’s a fun little trick that I learned thanks to Jim, Jeremy and Jeff. They are really good at it. |

| Does anyone know how to do the pinwheel loop where the kite rotates on axis and does multiple loops at once ? |

Tsudapop,
Your talking about pulling hard on a steering line, right, like a loop? Not inverting it.
I personally have not attempted it but one of the guys I ride with, Jim, does it fairly well. I’ve seen him do it twice. The kite spins about 3 times real quick. |

Greg from BRM is the God who introduced us to this a few years ago. Stringy has mastered most of it while I watch from the shore.... or swimming:

With a strutless kite, smaller size, this move isn't that difficult. My only fckup is not paying attention to the release of the last spin and I drive the kite into the water instead of up flying.
