Megaloop Boardoff

Advanced
  • Jump
  • Grab
  • Board-off
  • Kiteloop

A megaloop where you take the board off your feet during the loop and put it back before landing. It combines two of the hardest moves in freestyle, for riders who already land both consistently.

How to

  1. Boost hard

    Edge hard and send for a big jump, only in conditions you know and with a clear area downwind.

  2. Grab right away

    Straight after take off, grab the board with your front hand while your back hand stays on the bar.

  3. Start the loop

    Near the top of the jump, pull hard on your back hand to start the megaloop.

  4. Board off before the pull

    Slide your feet out and hold the board close while the kite dives, before it starts to pull you.

  5. Feet back and land

    Put your feet back in the straps as the kite comes round and climbs, then land downwind with knees bent.

Common mistakes

  • Grabbing late

    Grab the board right after take off so your back hand is free to pull the loop on time.

  • Board too far away

    Keep the board close and tense your whole body through the loop.

  • Board off too late

    Take the board off while the kite is still diving, since once it pulls the board is hard to control.
