Hey kiteboarding enthusiasts! You’ve been asking for this tutorial, and here it is - the ultimate guide to mastering the Boogie Loop, also known as the Powered Inverted Frontroll Kiteloop.
Prerequisites:
- Deadman (inverted woost)
- Inverted frontroll
- Kiteloops and megaloops
- Frontroll handdrag
Technique Breakdown:
Warm-Up: Start with loops and a few frontrolls to gauge the conditions.
Start Small: Use a small kite, keep the height low, and stay underpowered.
Body Position: Keep your body square to the kite with an inverted frontroll.
Frog Position: Bend your legs, bring your hips to the bar, and get upside down. Develop spacial awareness.
Kite Control: Watch the kite from upside down to complete the loop and sheet out.
Kite Drift: Let the kite drift back before looping - do not steer forward.
Commit: Keep both hands on the bar and use the same techniques as in regular kiteloops.
Takeoff & Rotation: Separate your takeoff from the rotation for better height and control.
Leg Position: Keep your legs up until the loop is finished, if possible.
Mindset: Remember, “It’s not a rotation - it’s a loop, just upside down.”
