Actually kiteloops aren't wakestyle. They're freestyle. Cool, but not Wakestyle.

Gaylie?

Hard to tell from the angle but im acctully unhooked, but have my arms bent.

I use a seat harness too, so very hard to do a gaily that big lol

Just to point out, the leash is connected to the chicken loop on the inside of the loop (new ozone chicken loop with the suercide hook

:P

So does that chicken loop run up your leash when you unhook Macca? And have to run back down it to hook back in?

more wakestyle than freestyle.. if it was freestyle his kite would loop twice maybe 3 or 4 times sending him to the ocean softer than a pillow

Errr... No!

I'm sure this has been argued plenty before so I will be brief and then say no more on it. Wakestyle derives its label from Wakeboarding. Wakeboarding is done behind a boat. This is replicated by parking your kite and loading and popping into your tricks without any lift from the kite. Given boats don't loop, KL's are not wakestyle.

Now this is not to say KL's don't take balls and hell commitment if doing one like Bertrand in the photo but Wakestyle they aint.

Right, that's it as this has nothing to do with favourite pictures.

When I die I'm going to request to the boss that I come back as some sort of virus that causes the knees and ankles of kiters like youse Smedg, to swell up and become insanely painful after 5 mins riding, then the swelling will go down in 30 mins and come back if you ride for 5 mins again, I will be called Attack of the Killer Knees virus.
And I will only attack nashty youngsters who have been unkind to older folks on kite forums.

Cya and
