When you say kiteloop, you mean a body loop (you know, forward roll!), not a body and kit loop, unless kiters have started doing that recently?

The simple truth is that most windsurfers can't loop. Just as there are good and bad windsurfers there are good and bad kitesurfers. Anyway, if you are still going straight after decades of windsurfing, despite your desires, kitesurfing might satisfy you more quickly.

Learned to fly a kite when I was six. I'm over it.
