After landing a few triple backrolls I decided today would be a good day to try a quadruple. Launch the kite, backroll, then a double, tack back in, then triple ... No! Crashed bad. Half looped the kite. Landed on my back .tangled the lines. Managed to limply fly back to the beach ,pulled the safety to land it but the lines were so tangled and with seaweed it didn't work but that didn't matter as I was still able to land it.
Went back out worked on my doubles and triples.
With my progression from double to triple being so quick I want to know how many rotations are the good kiters doing, how many are the pros doing ?

With the amount of grunt we had in Perth today id say the pros could do about 50-60 backrolls before landing again (landing roughly a football field away from where they achieved lift off)
