The Epic Record Run
The GKA’s 2022 Move of the Year feature provides a direct first-trick claim for kitefoiling. It labels Charles Brodel’s trick as the first ever board-off kiteloop on a foil and includes his own explanation of how difficult it felt to manage the foil through the loop. He described early attempts as nearly impossible because the foil wanted to fly away in the wind, then said he developed a technique using his elbow to control it. The piece matters for a Foiling Freaks world-first entry because it is not merely a highlight clip or rider boast. It is a GKA feature expressly presenting the trick as a first and tying it to foil riding.
Rules of the Beast
The trick must be identified by a credible kite competition, award, or specialist source as the first landed board-off kiteloop on a foil. The rider must be on a kite-powered hydrofoil, and the entry should not be conflated with twin-tip or non-foil big-air trick history.
How This Got the Nod
GKA directly calls this the first ever board-off kiteloop on a foil.
