Lou wainman used to shred on these kites.
No reason why you can't be as good as him.
Sounds like a good fight!
Seriously though dude a little more info on what you want to do with the kite might help.
freestyle mainly, even though i'm very often in big chop, small to moderate waves, many times gusty winds etc.......But freestyle is what exits me the most and i'd like to learn handle passes and generally unhooked tricks.
Hi nemo. I'm riding the Hadlow ID at the moment. I have tried an RPM and Park before, but not the C4. I've generally ridden C kites, 2006, 2008 Vegas and Liquid Force HiFi's. All the kites you have listed are said to have C kite feel, but for me the ID is streaks ahead in delivering this. It is the nicest kite I have ever unhooked on. Because the bar feedback is so good there are absolutely no surprises when you unhook and the slack it creates is so nice. Bar pressure is firm. More than all the above kites except the 2006 and maybe 2008 vegas. I wouldn't put it down as a quick kite, but this is probably deliberate as it makes landing tricks so much easier. Pulls nicely through the turns. Feels lively in gusty conditions, but I don't use very much bar throw. Relaunch isn't as good as the others in terms of tugging on one line, but there are quicker techniques. Welcome to give mine a go if you're in Perth area.
JR?
