Great vid! thanks for sharing. I love when the dude hits the slider; good on ya for showing it. that's what I'm going to do my 1st time.
Around the 3min mark someones doing kiteloops (?), how are they doing it?

Start with a big kite (lighter winds), and do nice floaty jump with minimal forward momentum. Continue to pull with your back hand as you bring the kite over 12 o'clock and make sure your board is facing downwind. Just dont boost higher than your willing to free-fall....after time when your technique is better, then try to really boost into a loop. Hope that helps, I know someone can touch up the finer points, but thats the jist of it.
THANKS EVERYONE
I'm glad you all like the vid,
I figured this would be a good way to inspire all of you to get out and film your progression. Its not about making fame, Its about creating something that we all can to relate to on a more local community level.

Early-Mid July would be a great time!, Any time in july august is pretty solid for NW winds.

Word, sounds like there'll be a crew coming down with me. See you kids down there! I have a quick question though, what's the fastest/easiest way down from PDX? my knowledge of S. Oregon is spotty at best. _________________ Let's go kite.
