Couple of photos of Damo doing kiteloops on a 9m at Woodies yesterday. It was windy. BOM site shows observations of 30-40 knots.

Did anyone see the guy at point henry (VIC)?
He was insane!
Huge jumps and the kiteloops he does are huge!
Must have balls the size of coconuts!
Unfortunately i forgot my bar so all i could do was watch
Ohh well
maybe next time.

holy crap! kitesuffer and myself were out at pengos surfing the outer break at the same time, well kitesuffer was. I was too busy trying to stop the bleeding and swelling after a squall farked me up.

Some of the squalls were near on 40. Big cahunas to be doing kiteloops.

Nah man
The guy was fairly big, has long curly hair, flew an ozone kite(not sure which one) and drove a crappy white commodore station wagon.
He was also there today.
Any way he knew how to kiteloop.

kiting with broken leg?
Bit far fetched.
So the othe guy is from kitepower?
Does he go to point henry regularly?
He is really good to watch and ride with.

Sick its ON! the post your sickest kite loop video comp!!
maybe laurie will put up a shirt or 2 for this one

all you have to do is post a short vid of a local at your local beach doing the most insane kiteloops. at the end of summer the best video of a kiteloop gets a free shirt.

Are any of you soft east coasters up for that??
