SAFETY WARNING.
This video footage was taken in light to medium wind conditions with 8m North Rebel kite. Though I successfully used the technique, described in the video, also in heavy wind conditions up to 35 knots on the same kite, please mind that the steering line pressure may vary, depending on wind speed, kite type and kite size!
Please note, that this technique is recommended for use in case of serious safety system failure. If your quick release system is not blocked, I recommend to use the QR first, and to release the kite completely in case of any danger.
Please contact me, if you have any questions, any time. info@advakite.com
I will provide you with any information I have on this topic for the sake of your safety!
Why would anybody dislike this video? The man is literally trying to save your life! Thank you
Because it's pretty mediocre, no offense
@@danielderias4773so it's medium, why dislike it? Would just be neutral neither like nor dislike.
@@justcommenting4981 it was just a reference, the actual video is fine
"Don't wrap the line around your hands if you're planning to use them again in the future."
You may of saved someones life with this vid. Well done.
Sam Moxham saved mine
Mine he saved. Today I now how to react because I see this video before. Thank you a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
jezz looking at this i don't feel like i want to practice kitesurf xd
have*
@@sylvainh2o dont worry that much, i kitesurf for more than 3 years and I never experienced any death loops yet. Its good to know how to deal with them if they happen. Kitesurfing is mostly all fun
This video saved my life yesterday. Thank you.
Had my first deathloop today on my second session of going out on my own. Was able to stop it almost immediately because of this video. Thanks.
Man, I can't thank you enough for making this vid. I'm a pretty new kiter and just happened across this a few weeks ago. Then a couple days ago, I survived my first death loop. I was on the water, so not as dramatic as the beach clips that you shared. Without that knowledge, I would have had to release the kite which would have made for a pretty bad day. I was shocked at how quickly the kite fell out of the sky the instant the slack steering line was pulled. Brilliant. Super happy to now have that experience under my belt. FYI I've purchased your Learning To Fly video too. Many thanks. 🙏
I haven't gone for certification training yet. I start in the summer 2023. I know this has saved someone's life. Keep up the content bro
Your a life saver earlier today I was kiteboarding in strong winds and big waves then my kite got locked in the loop in terrible conditions I was being dragged but used this to save myself thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for telling your story, man! Very happy to hear your words, it mean my work have a meaning. If you have time, share the link to this vid somewhere, I would really appreciate that! Hope you'll never need this skill again!)
Situational awareness is huge here… Good video. Thanks.
Thank you! This video can save lives.
Thanks Anton - great video. Super useful!
I will share this with my friends. It's very useful. Thank you Anton!
This video should be seen by anybody taking up kite surfing, I hope it never happens to me, I just hope I can remember what to do if all hell breaks lose, cheers for making the video
Invaluable kitesurfing video, thanks for posting Anton.
thanks for possibly saving my life in the future!
Great contribution to kite safety!!
As a beginner I'm glad I came across this video many thanks Anton!
This really is a must watch, well done Anton, The death loop is so important to know about
Excellent knowledge. Thanks Anton!
Thanks a lot Anton ! You surely saved many lives with this clear, well explained video.
Thank you so much! I’m just getting into this sport and safety is very important to me. I appreciate this advice very much!
Thank you very much for having created and posted this video. Last month I managed to resolve a death loop quite easily thanks to your instructions. After stabilising the kite, The most difficult part was to solve the mess of the lines with the bar, so that part in your video is very important as well. THANK YOU!
Hey, thanks a lot for your message! I'm really proud to hear, that my works helped you out there on the water! Thanks for letting me know, man! BR, Anton.
Thanks for the video! I have watched it several times.
genius, insightful and practical way to escape. really well done.
Great vid, the first one how show the details of a tangled bar really good, and the possibilities to de-tangle it...! very nice Anton!
...oh my god. Even after more than 18 years of experience it is surprising to "learn" something anymore. It has happened never before to me, even as I experienced the hard first years without any safety, but never mind, all of the safety is worth nothing in a case you described. It can happen, we all know! So many thanks for this helpful thought, Anton. I will keep it in my mind. And it may save a life perhaps. Keep kiting and all the best to you
You must be really lucky to miss this issue after so many years of practice) Yeah, having a good luck is definitely the best way to fight against it!!) Thanks for your comment! Sorry for answering late.
Every kiteboarder must watch this video several times! Three days ago my center lines got entagled with the bar, just like the first situation described in this video. My kite was in an uncontrollable loop and just because I had seen this video a few times before I knew what to do. While I was being dragged with a lot of force I managed to untangle the centerlines from the bar, although I had to use some strength. If I had not done this, I would have used the quick release (usless as this video explains) and I would have had to release the safety leash thereby loosing my kite. Thanks a lot!
Great to hear, that it was useful! Thanks for your story!
Best video going, had a death loop the other day instantly thought of this video and knew exactly what to do saved me!
Really nice video dude. I added it to my tutorial playlist videos. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit this.
+ABE SuperKiteDay Thanks. Hey, you have heaps of vids!) I'll check them out tonight!)
awesome video! In the beginning of this vid I couldn't get what should u do in case of having a situation like this due to lack of experience , but now I do. Really appreciated! Great job.
very good job, well done. Your work may saves some lifes. Thanks
I watched this before my first kite course, the instructor didn't tell me anything, after a jump, during the lesson, I happened to cause a death loop, thanks to you I am here and the kite is safe too. Thank you really much.
Thanks a lot for this video. I wish I had seen it earlier. I've experienced 2 death loops myself, and this would have helped a lot. To all kitesurfers out there, share this video with all your friends.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this information. Extremely informative video
great vid, thanks for uploading
Thanks for making this video really useful
Great video !!! It's so simple but life saving .
Very good video and thorough explanations. Thank you
great resource and well produced. Thanks
Great video, it should be obligatory to watch on IKO lessons. I had to figure what to do the hard way and it worked but having this knowledge would be so much easier and safe!
Yes, I think they should include something like this in the beginners program, since it's really dangerous and happens pretty often!
Thanks Anton, very useful !!!
Great video, good to know - and practice! thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! I was unaware of the death loop and now I know how to get out. Without this video I would be clueless and either hurt myself or have to let my kite go in an emergency like this.
SURVIVING THE DEATH LOOP. EPISODE II. After just 5 days and 32K of views I've got a lot of feedback from you guys, which proves the importance of the topic. So I will definitely film another episode in January 2016 to answer your questions. Featuring: - using the described technique in stronger winds up to 35 knots; - using this technique with different sizes like 6 m; - facing the bracking of one of the steering lines scenario and more. I will have a lot of risky work to do, and I am asking you to support the filming of Ep.II with quick and easy Paypal.me service (www.paypal.me/Advakite ) using paypal account or just a plastic card. In these days of heavy financial crisys in my country, I'm spending my last to keep the project running. Spend 5-10 USD and 3 minutes of your time to spread the knowleage and to save lives! Anyway, I will ALWAYS publish safety related episodes for free. Thank you!

Pablo M Thanks for your help, man! Feels great!
THE BEST video on how to recover from a death loop!!! Спасибище!!! Every one is so busy talking about how you should not get your self into that kind of situation but no one besides you Anton has managed to make a proper training technique on that! You might aswell saved some lifves and lots of fun time here!! Great stuff! You should open your own school. Would love to learn from you.
Thanks bro!! I’m an ok waterman but I just got a kite and I’m trying it tmw early before wind picks up. I’m soaking up all the info I can before I go.🤙🏼
Brilliant vid mate. Thanks
very good! can help a lot of people, even if in the real situation is a little bit harder because of the panic
Thanks for this video. SO valuable and wise! Also, experienced Climbers and Sailors usually have a knife tucked somewhere, incase you need to cut a rope.
Thank you very much, it can be life saving sometime.
Really nice video dude. it was very helpfull. thank you for taking the time to make the video!
Great video...thanks for posting
Awesome video! Many thanks
This should be a standard teaching technique or lesson for any kiteboarder .this video will save life.
True, I agree that. As I start discussing this vid, it turns out, that a lot of guys had this type of accident happened with them.
Thanks, very useful indeed. I had a bad situation with my foil yesterday. I fell and somehow the lines got tangled around the mast. That then ripped the entire foil and board out of the water and made my kite loop about four times before I regained control. Luck, a helmet and an impact vest saved me... I think I intuitively got control of the situation but it could have ended bad bad. Will practice this for sure now even though with a foil board flipping around you I’m not sure you’d have much of a chance
GOOD WORK! Thanks for this awesome video!
You're welcome) Ride safe, man!)
Thank you!
thank you! Could prove extremely useful...
Smart, clear and useful as usual. Thanks a lot !
+Olivier Urcel Thank you so much, I'm doing my best))
Hello Anton, I had already thanked you for posting this video, but I would like to double thank you after my kite entered into loop a few days ago and I immediately managed according to your instructions. Although I have been kiting for 20+ years, this has been my first time, with happy end. Thankyou!
Hey! Thanks a lot for taking time to tell about it! I am really proud, that I was able to help. Take care, hope you won't need it again!))
I think you just saved my life. Thanks.
Great Informative Video, 10 years kiting and still good to think about safety. Thanks
Thanks! Take care)
Thanks a lot for securing a lot of beginners health and lifes
great info ,this will save a lot of hurt ,well done
Great video. Now I know what I may have to do. Tahnsk!
Great video, thanks !Saw a few weeks ago for the first time how someone got in into a death loop and was dragged over the beach after a drift launch failure. I was really shocked at the power while the wind wasn't so strong at that moment.
Another brilliant video! Great work Anton
+Pedro Monsalve Thanks, man) Glad you still like my vids)
This video actually safed my arse yesterday haha, thanks!
Saved my skin today, thankyou! Worked fantasticly!
Hey, thanks! Happy to hear that, wish you never need it again!
Thank you so much. Death loop happend to me a few months ago with 40 knts and was horrible because i wasn't be able to stop it looping. At the end i released the emergency on the lish and the kite stop it self on the beach with the landing edge down. Pretty lucky.
I've just started kiteboarding. Thank you for this video. This is something the instructors didn't mention
Gummby Pokey instructors are just here to rob you
This WILL come in handy. Thank you :)
Very vital tutorial
This one off the video what all kitesurfer should watch ! Because you never know when you will have this kind off problem !
Great vid 👍
So important, thank you
Very useful vid, never hurts to know how to stop this
great video! thanks - I am new to kiteboarding, this surely will save me down the line...
Thanks! Take care out there!
Great tutorial!
Indeed very useful tip!
I don't even have a kite board parachute, but this is valuable information. Thank you.
This video saved me, maybe my life. In Taiwan I signed up for a lesson with an "instructor". My first question to him was this. "It seems smart to use a trainer kite before my fist lesson... blah blah." He said he can show me much more. Well, he was a bad instructor and he fell in simple maneuveres, so not great at the sport. But he never talked about the spiral. We trained in a "pool" full of rocks and thick mud. An old road was semi-demolished cutting through the middle of the "pool." 20 knots gusting to 37 knots. THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME FOR FREE WHAT HE DIDN'T CATE TO TEACH ME. Twice i had the spiral with projecting rocks near me. His typical response.. "You pull the bar too much." I love you, man!
Thanks, man. It's more precious than anything else for me to hear words like those you say. Hope you don't need those skills too often)
man !! got to give it to you!! awesome videos very well explained the typs!! bet you are a great kite instructor! keep posting
+Gustavo Torres Thanks man! Will post some new stuff soon! Finishing some cutting now.
Fantastic, thank you
Awareness and video material of kitesurf death loops is limited. Even though this can be one of the most dangerous situations you can be in while kitesurfing. The video adds great value to a solution I was not even aware off. I am happy you found my video useful and thanks for linking. Keep on the good work!
+Daniel Liesveld Thanks for your video! I had the same situation, like you had, several times, but you've managed to untangle the bar underwater! I was amazed! Great example of self-control!
You are the MAN buddy very helpful and informative, this happened to me as a learner when i crashed hard years ago and i had to ditch the whole kite. This will definately save people. ps love the kiteloops video, I'm saving for a vegas for some mega loops this winter :) :) hehe
Very well explained...😎🤙
Very nice video and very good explained. Thank you for sharing ANOTHER TIP FOR EVERYONE. DON'T GO KITING WITHOUT A LINE CUTTER!
Thanks for your comment. Will post another Episode soon, including some info about line cutters)
I have taken the opportunity share your video with friends as your instructions cover the topic so well. Have great season.
Hey, thanks a lot! Hope they never need these skills on the water)
Thanks for the video.
Great video man! , also great *Carbon Based Life Forms* track at the background ;)
Thank you so much ! This Video deserves No dislikes . U Are awesome man
Only one technique is missing in this video. If it is possible, when pulling any line, pull the line with your palms facing down / forward = as if you were using your hands to protect yourself from a blow at the waist. Because in a case where it is necessary to release the line, the line will not run the risk of traversing its hand throughout its length, causing deep cuts. When pulling the line with the palm of the hand down / forward, your hand automatically loses all contact with the line My humble tip
Really nice work Anton Chernyshov. Now i really understand how to avoid the death loop. Thanks :-)
+Michael Krøse You were so close to stop it by yourself! Great example, brilliant filming, I had a feeling, like it was planned, at least I should film it in the same way) Unfortunately, didn't have enough space on the sand with that wind direction. Thanks for the vid!
+Michael Krøse By the way, I fixed the mistake with your credits in the description about source footages. Looks like I used a repost of your original footage.
Thanks a lot for this!!!!
Saved my life to. Watched this video a few weeks ago help me a lot with my today kitemare. 25 kn, 7m in a serious hard pulling death loops. Pulled backwards, up side down and under water for a while. There are moments you can't breath and think, this is the end. It started after a big air jump, chicken loop hooked accidentally out, relaunching the kite, a steering line was twisted around the bar and the kite started looping. After 2 series of several loops the kite hit the water again and I succeeded to pull the other steering line to get the kite in a stable situation. Released the kite completely. Picked up by another kiter. Luckily now safe back at home, with a concussion. To all: keep enjoying this lovely sport and keep safe!
Oh, man!!! That's a story! Thank you so much for letting me know. Very happy to know, that my work helped you in such a terrible situation, it means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing this! Take care!
So valuable info. ...!
thanks for making the video !
+Robert Tak ) Hope it's useful, but you will never need it!)))
Thank you so much. 🤙🤙
Great video
