Try go down the beach and get some tips on how to fly a training kite.(off other kiters) don't be afraid to ask most of us are nice.
if you've had no luck with that try phone a kite school or visit there website there will probably be some info.

Loops are pretty easy, just give it a try next time your flying - just turn the bar hard, and keep it there until the kites flown all the way around... Try in light winds first - the work up to heavy winds!

Its pretty easy, but best get someone who knows how to do it to show ya, as looping can generate some power you may not expect! Also make sure you have plenty of room down wind of you, at least double the distance of your lines length. :o also ensure no one is in this area :) If your bar has a safety wrist leash, wear it, simply let go of the bar if it pulls you out of control and the kite will depower and crash down. Have fun!
