LoopOff Results
- LoopOff King > Keith McCulloch
Keith simply had the most consistent and spot on loops! As one spectator commented "he's a looping machine!" - Most Loops > Andy McKinney
Andy was hucking one after the other both going out and coming in! Bam, bam, bam,... he was going for it spinning that rig all over the place!! - Most Spectacular Loop > Jeff Jones
Jeff has not looped in years, but he still definitely has the juice! The judges unanimously voted one of his FWDs as perfection! Scored the only 5 in the 1 though 5 ranking system, Jeff's loop impressed all who saw it! On top of that, Jeff hit it while riding an "old slalom board!" - LoopOff Masters > Donny Bowers
Us "young bucks" wonder if we will still be looping at 50+?! Well, Donny was out there hucking one after the other impressing the crowd, judges, photograhers, and fellow participants! He is a true loop master!! - Best Loop Crash > Bill Bell
Bill attempted a one handed FWD during the event! He rotated successfully, with a huge splashdown on impact! It was a great first for him in his aerial looping!
See more videos!
Loop Clinic
Sailworld hosted the Hatteras Loop Fest Loop Clinic. Andy McKinney provided participants with valuable knowledge and tips regarding making the initial commit and executing a successful first forward loop. We had an excellent turnout for the event, and everyone is pumped and "Ready to Rotate!" There were also a number of sponsor prizes for registered participants including t-shirts, rash guards, and other cool stuff. George Markopoulos from Maryland took home the Loop Clinic grand prize which was a new Dakine T3 waist harness!
