While i was in the water, i tried fixing this small problem with my lines. My feet were on the board. Then one of the back lines wrapped around the bar, caught my hand, and then the kite suddenly looped. I got scared because I was even dragged under the water. Good thing my hands weren't caught.

I'm just posting this hoping that the other riders would learn from it. Never fix something while you're flying, no matter how simple you think the problem is. Because things can go wrong faster than you think.

Ride safely everyone! Have a happy holidays!

Thank you for sharing that one, kite energy! It's always best to learn from mistakes. So i hope we could place more posts like this.. But anyway, if this would happen to me, the initial reaction would be to pull the other side of the bar once my kite starts to loop.
