Hi Guys,

looking at these two kites, im intermediate and starting to unhook/loop

has anyone ridden both who can compare the two? ie bottom end, pop/slack, looping/boosting, turning speed, depower, relaunch, performance in gusty conditions

Size for size, bottom end of the Vegas is better and also goes upwind better (should be powered so doesn't matter) loops on the Vegas are fast and tight I like C4 better for loops.

I thought the C4 slacks better but only rode the vegas for around an hour in gusty conditions. Pop was better on the Vegas. I found the Vegas more twitchy although my C4 bar is 45 cm and Vegas was 50.

Boosting the same if you know how to use them.

De- power, what's that? I trim my kite properly, but all kites fly sh!t depowered. Right kite for the right wind!
