Hey youngy,
It depends on what you want. If you want "full on" C-Kite then vegas, Torch or maybe Hi-fi is a good choice although I have little personal experience with the Hi-Fi.
The C4 is a great "C" kite without being as full on as the others or as heavy. The C4 can be a great freeride kite as well as a fun "C". The performance of the C4 is up there with the best of them without being quite as harsh.
If you are in WA, you can drop in and demo a C4 and a Vegas from us. For Hi Fi, you'll need to see Jason of West Oz in Safety Bay. He also has C4's.
They are all quite different so it is worth demoing all of them to see what will suit your riding style.
Cheers,
DM
Thanks dm for the advice.I ride on the east coast so it might be hard to get a demo through you but thanks for the tips .Thought i would put it out there as all the shops over here try and sell you a switchblade as soon as you menion wakestyle
cheers
I took the new 2011 C4 9 out today.
I can't see how a kite could be any better than that.
I will never buy anything but a c shaped kite ever again.
You can hurl it skywards from so low in the window and get ripped into the sky like you're being shot out of a cannon. At the same time if you don't fly it like a crazed lunatic it's good for just fanging upwind and cruising around
Plenty of depower from sliding the bar out but also just from leaning back really hard and punching it to the edge of the window.
Crashed it once and it relaunched very easily
hey mate i dont think you will go wrong with either the hifi or c4 both are sweet kites i ride hifi's and absolutely love them. If your after a kite to concentrate on unhooked wake style tricks i would definitely sick to a c type kite.
