I AM ADDICTED | Experiencing Megaloops on Hydrofoil

Спорт

Storms are rare in the northeast of Germany. We needed to be patient. But finally we got the perfect conditions for our project.
About two years ago I started a documentary about Hydrofoil Kitesurfer Borja Vellón García. We were able to show his extraordinary passion in that discipline. Unfortunately we missed good conditions for Megaloops and we decided to work on a second part in the future.
In January 2023 the perfect storm hit the coast with up to 40 knots. We only had four days to get everything ready. We needed deep water close to the shore and safe wind directions. We decided to go to Ahrenshoop, a small town in the northeast of Germany. In the beginning the wind was not as strong as expected but soon the sand began to fly.

    This guy looks completely normal and sane when he speaks, but doing this on a foil in those conditions is pretty insane. Just get on a twintip, man.

    I was wondering how he kept the board on his feet with that much swing weight from a board, plus hydrofoil. He’s got insane skills tho eh. To be able to time the lift off the kite and lift from the foil must be difficult.

    I honestly dont get it. I'm all about big air hydrofoil and megalooping twin tip. This seems like the worst of both worlds. I watched the first 4 min and all the jumps it doesnt show him land a single one. I also dont get why he wants 40 knots on a foil. I can get bigger air than he was in this video in 15 knots on a 10m, that's why foils are awesome. They are so efficient. The biggest downside is getting through shorebreak with it.

    @GaryRR47 perhaps landing megaloops on am hydrofoil isn't your thing, and that's perfectly fine. I personally find it incredibly fun and exhilarating, and I wanted to share this video because I know there are others out there who feel the same way. If you watched the first part, you'll understand why I made a second one. But this video isn't just about landing megaloops; it's about the overall experience and enjoyment of the session. Living in an area where we usually only get 20 knots of wind, I'm always hoping for more, which is why I cherish the moments when we get to kite in stronger winds. If you're ever interested in giving it a try, I'd be more than happy to invite you to join me and help create an even better video. Cheers! 🤙🏽

    Good stuff man. I started looping on foil too. I’m on OR Rise though so it’s like cheating. Can even do it on 19m kite with 20m lines. Surprisingly the shorter lines actually made looping easier on foil. What hydrofoil are ur riding? Cheers 🍻

    It could be, but for me a megaloop start when the kite pass through the power zone, it doesn't mean under the rider as you can see in one of the most important kite competitions, KOTA. 🔥 Maybe next time I will try to pass my kite unter myself 💪🏽.

    @@Borjavellonkitefoiling its really not that hard to pass the kite below you and when you do thatll be a megaloop. Referenceing kota for credibility is pretty funny didnt they also try claim double loops hadnt existed before a few years ago despite anyone with a small kite having done them for decades usually by accident

    I respect you for your courage, style and approach in general, I know that with foil it is very, very difficult to land at high speed, but if after years you still don't land them soft, not even one... probably, the megaloop should be left to the twintips . . ciao Christian

    Thanks! Yeah... well, it is not that after years I didn't manage to land them, I am able to land some. The problem is that with these conditions, cold water, really choppy and wave water, wasn't as easy as expected. And about doing it with a twintip... i do but i can't help to do also some with the hydrofoil, its a different feeling. 🤪

    Here’s one thing I don’t understand about foilers. I’ve see. 1 out of, let’s say, 100 actually do more than mow lawns. Any reason why most kite foil guys don’t even pop out of water. ? I’ve noticed wing foil guys don’t even do a simple back roll. Hell they rarely hit waves and swells, always on butter flat water.

    Hi Jimmy, I guess for most kitesurfers out there it is just too difficult to do tricks on a Hydrofoil.
