So I was thinking about my next kite for the winter, and I was debating which kite that i should purchase. I already have a 13 and 16 scorpions and i
absolutely love them. I mainly love jumping, and going as high and far as possible. I only kite on land because the water here is too cold. Is it
worth upgrading to a synergy? Will the similar size take me as high as my scorpions? What about the charger, has anybody even used one yet? I
figured that i would start my research now so I would be ready to pick one up for the winter. Advice is welcomed

may be wrong here, but wasnt the higher aspect ratio'd phantom a better jumper than the syn? :puzzled:
(not really an upgrade tho... older model)
If you can swing a charger... grab that, the videos floating around put that as one mean kite! The turn speed looks way faster than any arc
ive seen... of course you could pick up a second hand syn for cheap here in a little while when the chargers start rolling out...

the Phantom 15was more for speed, i didnt get nearly as high with my Syn 15m. go back to my review on the Phanny vs Scorpion vs Syn.
The Syn and the Scorpion have about the same lift, but the Scorpion has more grunt, and the Syn has more float.
I wouldnt upgrade from Scorp to Syn but Scorp to Charger instead.

hey rip, when are the chargers hitting the shelves btw?

if everyone would stop buying Cores and RII the people could start sewing Chargers. ROFL.
okay that was a bad bad comment.
October now. I have a feeling certain sizes (the common ones) will be released first and the rest will follow. demand is up again so if you want one
from the first batch contact your dealer and reserve it.

I went retro and I'll catch up sometime later when the sewing machines cool off. I also want to see how the charger does in the buggy compared to the
synergy considering that it sits further back in the window. Someone needs to do a head to head when they can. Phantom, synergy, and a charger.
Line em up.
