Hi there.
I have been using rebels combo 9m and 6 m for few years.
Thinking abt getting 12 m for lightish winds,
DOES 12 m Rebel loop ??
Thanks.

Kind of, the hard bit is trying not to get bored with it, as the kite goes round. They develop no more power looping than when there not looping.

Well yes I suppose every kite loops. But from my experience and I'm not saying this is gospel, I had the 2012 11m ( brother has it now, just a great kite) and when I looped it and slightly got it wrong I was giving myself a free enema! If you want to loop as a given rule, this is not the kite.

But others with more prowess in this department might have a different view. I suppose the big megaloops might work but the tight quick ones, the acceleration out of them is pretty scary. Again I might be wrong.

Just as added measure I moved on from the rebels for this reason. But the crazy thing is I'm now building a quiver of edges which will give the same result as the rebel I would suspect even more so given the high aspect. Go figure
