Hey guys,
just wondering if the vegas's have any more wind range than other c kites? their reviews give the feeling that they do? im pretty keen to move towards full c kites but dont wanna have to fork out for 3 kites. currently riding 12/9 rpm's at 60kg. seems to be the best preforming kite that has decent wind range that iv tried. i would like a bit more line slack tho which is why im keen to move to a full c. ill be keeping my 12 for this season but am about to upgrade my 9.

I'm no expert, but I just went through this same dilemma -Vegas didn't seem special in terms of slack or range..
I got a Razor and the unhooked range is bigger than the other kites I tested so I don't care that I lose a few knots of low wind performance. (Compared to hybrid)
The 3 kite thing is just a fact of freestyle, or accept that there are days where you just have a boostathon

Full c kite, flexifoil hadlow pros, going ridiculously cheap since his departure, just picked up a 3 kite quiver of hadlow Id with bar under $2500,sticking my neck out ,I'd say it's one of the best constructed kites I've seen,
