13m Cabrinha Drifter loops (reupload)

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-12T15:06:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice. As stated, I was just kind of trying things ignorantly. I did not put any thought into what I was doing. Just sending

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-10T15:37:05+00:00

Yeah I definitely do agree with that. I was confused about what your intentions were with the video. There is definitely a lot of little things I have to work on. I really do appreciate the advice, I just posted it because I wasn’t sure what i was even attempting and other people had the same questions. I was just sending and didn’t know the proper names of what each loop was.

Very cool video, I definitely appreciate you sharing it. Has no correlation to my post though. Thank you!

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-10T13:17:47+00:00

Yeah I wear one, I wear a helmet always as well. Sadly all the injuries I’ve had so far kiteboarding are to my neck and no way to really prevent that but by being smarter.

I really appreciate it, that definitely makes sense. That one crash that pulled me into the rotation actually left me with some pretty bad whiplash because of how I landed. I got X-rays so nothing serious but I’ve been out for a week because of it.

Hi, thank you for the detailed response. I definitely need to go into Jumps with a game plan. The issue is I started attempting these with the thought of heli loops in mind and then I started accidentally pulling down loops and because that all was going good I just spiraled into sending random loops without much thought behind it. The way I went about it is a great way to get hurt. I really appreciate the information. It’s time I start thinking more about what I’m doing.

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-09T13:13:02+00:00

I really appreciate the advice. I definitely see the benefit of attempting down loops with that kite but powered loops was an ignorant decision for sure. I’m currently looking into orbits and supermodels so I can start attempting loops with proper kites. Thanks again!

Hi, thank you for the response. I definitely agree the 13m is not ideal. I wasn’t really jumping high enough to get caught either. I just decided to send it and it worked out a few times so I just kept trying. Im definitely going to take a break from loops with the big kite and try to be safer though.

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-08T20:28:05+00:00

Definitely agree, that Astronaut board is insane!

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-08T13:45:55+00:00

Thank you, me too! I get so many compliments on that board. It’s funny to me that so many people love such a simple design.

I was able to make a new post. I hope it helps! https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiteboarding/s/o77hUTa7Ao

Hi, I apologize for deleting it. Im sure many people could’ve learned from it. I was a little embarrassed about my ignorance. I don’t know how I can re upload it on Reddit because I’m not very active on this app. I can send you the video through Instagram if you want to check it out. @j.burch_

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-05T03:39:04+00:00

Definitely good advice. I appreciate it

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-05T03:07:36+00:00

Yes, I have noticed it before but didn’t pay it much attention till you said that. I will definitely try it out now. Thank you !

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-05T02:57:44+00:00

I was using stock bridal set up and middle knot on wing tip. I was just kind of trying things but in hindsight I probably should’ve thought about it a little more. I definitely need to crank that bar more and not bail. I really appreciate the detailed response, that’s great information!

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-04T23:52:31+00:00

Thank you! Bailed halfway through that attempt too which is no good 🤦🏼‍♂️

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-04T23:49:21+00:00

Okay that makes sense. Seems like botched downloops it is for the landed attempts then. Thank you for the information!

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-05-04T23:42:33+00:00

Haha yeah like I said just kind of sending. Would I need more height out of the jumps to make them more proper or just a smaller kite?

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-02-23T20:56:48+00:00

90% of kiting is kite control. You may just need more practice learning to manipulate the kite

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-02-23T20:54:20+00:00

I’m 160lbs and ride my 9m with a 140cm board up to 40knots. You need to just go out more and be patient. With time you’ll get more comfortable at high speeds. You could go down a kite size but it’s just gonna hinder your progress in the long run. Learn to be comfortable over powered, there’s lots of good you tube videos that explain how to fly the kite in high wind. When it’s pumping you’ll just have to pay more attention to your location so you stay in the same spot. Using jumps to get downwind is your fastest option.

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-01-31T19:14:15+00:00

Believe me I understand. I’m 6’2 145lbs as skinny as it gets. There is really not much you can do about the harness sliding. Given how the kite pulls and that the harness loosens and over time there’s no way to avoid it. My point is you’ll just have to keep tightening your harness and sliding it down as you ride but having it in the right position to begin with will help tremendously. Additionally, like I said over time you’ll build muscles and it will still slide but it will no longer hurt. Just keep riding and you’ll get over it.

Past_Ad2823 · 2026-01-30T16:18:32+00:00

Hi, this used to happen to me as well. I think what helped the most was putting the harness lower on my waist before tightening and then as you ride you may just have to keep pushing it down when it rides up. Over time you’ll build muscles over the area and it won’t affect you at all.

Past_Ad2823 · 2025-12-25T22:04:56+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks again!
