Low end? I imagine the low end on these kites just won't compare to the low end on hybrid/bows?
Turning speed, any kites you can compare it to in speed so i have an idea?
Depower, bow like 80% depower? long throw?
Uunhook? any problem what so ever unhooking this kite without touching the depower beforehand even if you end up pointing the kite to fly upwards?

Hi Stefaans, I have now been riding the C4s for a month or so, not had great winds but have had some epic sessions. I have ridden the 13 11 and 7. I am 85 kilos and ride twin tips mainly.
The 13m gets me going in 12 to 13 knots, about the same as my 13m Sport from last year, not as early as the 13m Edge. But what is nice is that it is so quick that you can really work it to get you moving to generate speed and power.
Turning speed, it is very fast and keeps a smooth and constant power right through the turn, even the 13m is a great wave kite for nice downloops and quick change of directions.
Depower, there is loads, more than the Sport + and the bar throw is the same, all in easy reach.
Unhooking, for tricks there is no need to trim, you just unhook and go for it. With unhooked waveriding then you should trim the bar 5 cm or so to keep the kite alive when you push it slightly downwind other wise it will fall back in the window a little,
Hope you get a chance to try one, if yiou are in Spain then let me know and I will sort you out wth a demo.
