Right, so im thinking of getting a new quiver and i really like the look of the C4s, but dont know that much about them.

At the moment im getting into riding boots and really want to improve my freestyle. im not very advanced, but land F16s, flat 3s and the occasional railey to blind. i also love a kite that lets me do big, floaty jumps, not just yank me up and drop me out of the sky.

i have never riden C kites and have a couple of 2011 Switchblades which wont last much longer...

oh, and i want my kite to relaunch relatively easily.

So, will the C4 be any good?

Thanks

For all this that you mention i have the Epic Judge.You should give it a try before you decide...and it is bulletproof!!!!..

ps.since i bought them my level gonne upwards!!!specialy in wakestlyle tricks and Hpasses of all kind

I don't think the question was what kites do you pimp i believe it was about the Ozone C4!
any C kite is going to feel VERY different from your Cabs right now bot for what you are looking for it sounds like the C4 will be great. remember get them bigger than your bows.

Thanks

One thing that i am a bit confused about is whether or not the C4 is a real hardcore C kite or not...Lots of people talk about it as a C, but i have also heard people put it in the RPM - Park category.

So which is it? Because an "Open C" really isnt a C kite.

Having 10 years of kiteboarding,started with C kites,changed to bow,gonne to hybrids and then back to C kites ,after testing all of them i decided that i ll never be Hadlow or something and that the most friendly C kite feeling-reacting-responding is the Judge.

It wasnt pimping and if it looked like that i'm sorry.

If everybody just posted random crap on every topic why even have a topic or get the chance to ask a question.

Don't confuse pure C-kites with modern C-shaped-ones. These are totally different beasts, even though C4 does come with some C-goodies.

-These will feel very different coming from Cabs.
-You do have to go 1-2 sizes bigger than with the Cabs. So powerwise a 10m C4 is about equivalent to an 8m SB. Etc.
-Re-launch is effortless and wind-range is just huge.
-C4s are a PITA to self-land/launch by any other methods than an anchor.
-C4s have zero pulleys in the bridle.
-Skip the 2010 and go for 2011-2012. Oversized-pump valve alone is worth getting the newer ones, nevermind the fact that these are much more re-fined.

Use the search - gonna find a lot of info about C4s

sorry...im not familiar with that term..."are a PITA" Good or bad?

PITA pain in the ass

good or bad is up to you...

I would say bad...but each to their own! Thanks
