New Kite

twistedworld - 4-3-2014 at 12:38 PM

It's time to add a new kite to my quiver. I have both a mountainboard and a kiteboard so I am leaning towards getting a twinskin. I some how managed to get a board before a water kite. :lol: Any suggestions on what kites to look at? What is the difference between the charger I and charger II?

I had Charger I in 15m and 10m . I went back to Synergy. I can't speak for the Charger or Phantom II .

There is an amazing deal on 10 1nd 15m Synergy here http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=27987

Synergy is the best behaved arc I have had my hands on . Very forgiving but if you spank it, it perks up nice !

Charger 1, faster and better suited to more aggressive riders. Less stable than earlier Arcs.

Charger 2, tuned down more user friendly version. Super nice kite for just about anyone. Much smoother lift than the Ch1. Very much like the Synergy in flying character. Many agree with Bladerunner, The Syn was really a sweet spot in Arc design.

Thanks for the help.

Will I regret getting an Arc over a LEI? I'm probably going to be on the water most of the time.

Dito on the Synergy... love the 15 meter. Perfect buggy engine 15 to 20 mph.no regrets
