- Vegas- Fuel
-Torch-Hadlow Pro
But you wont know if "C" is your thing unless you try them, so get out and demo some kites
thats a better list...
PS word on the street from people who actually ride wakestyle said the slingy RPM is better for wakestyle than the fuel.
what i think you might be referring to is "freestyle" with the twirly wirly kite spins and stuff included. in this case i think you will like a fuel hadlow. maybe lf hifi.. or if u can hold on for a while catapults C should be ready soon
Charl,
Why did you cross out Torch and Vegas for wakestyle? Reckon they sit too far forward in the window? Maybe, but it doesn't take much to set the kite a bit further back in the window before you unhook? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts because I love my Torch 12m unhooked even better when I've got quite a bit of depower on. Looking at upgrading my 9m this summer and thinking another Torch or Fuel or maybe even VaporIII
if you read the description of being C kites. they are hardly C kites. THAT is why i crossed them off. torch is a nice kite and all, cant fly worth a damn on 4 lines. it doesnt have the same "feel" as a real C kite anymore either. same applies to vegas except it does fly on 4 lines but its hardly a C shaped kite anymore..more like some crazy hybrid-c cross breed, and same applies its lost the traditional feel.
they also do sit abit forward in window and id rather have a kite that just sits in the right place instead of having to make it go there.
my post was just a punt at the C kite thing nothing serious.
