Hi! i have a Charger 7, its a fast kite Generates lots of power by moving it, so when others rides with 9 i can already pump my 7. the kite relaunch automatically, i just let go the bar and the kite set sutomatically on the edge of the window, ready to relaunch.
I think its a great kite, responsive, easy and stable!

At least for North American customers the Charger was not released until Last Week. More reviews should be coming soon.
The kite is a great kite in all sizes. It has a lot of power like mentioned above, automatic relaunch, fast pivotal turning and great stability. Overall it is an awesome free-ride kite that is extremely user-friendly. It also is a very good wave kite.
If you are in North America and you are interested in testing The Charger please PM me for demo dates and locations.

The kite is a nice kite to fly well built and no one pump which i like.The kite turns fast the relaunch is super quick and yes it is a good wave kite.
But one negative I have about the kite is when it gets extremely windy or super gusty it tends to fall back in the window and power up , the kite gives you one hell of a pull.
I dont own one but was fortunate enough to have a lend of it for a week or so.
Does Naish have a solution for this as it maybe a simple bridle modification.???

I found all Delta's (that I've tried anyway) to behave that way in high wind and gusty conditions.
