You didn't get much slack from the C4's? I think they were my next kite to try
People do but I can't manage to. Apparently you need to ride with a lot of speed into tricks which I tend not to do when trying new stuff.
Changed my 9m and went from just passing every now and then on blind judges and only at the start of my sessions to getting some big passes which seem less effort also even late in the session. With it slacking more the kite is less twitchy also.

Sweet, I ride airush razors, but I just got a 11m fixed up from a friend and I'm keen to feel the difference. I'm like you, don't like going fast when learning!

hows it lunching the fuels? my razors are easy as with the 5th line but iv never tried a 4 like c before, I heard you have to swim towards it to roll it?
The old fuels before the 5th line 07 era you did have too swim towards them and be careful that they didn't loop backwards. The fuels after the 5th line models are completely kook proof. They are so soft,easy and forgiving. Launching is pathetically easy. But oh no... It's a fuel,C kite! Good idea too try one but good luck there.... No one really stocks or promotes it anymore.
So, get some stoke n fuelled up for fun!

New C4's slack much more than the older versions. I think nick was on 2012's..
2013 and 2014 - completely different kites to 2012 and earlier. 2012 C4 was a bit too fast/twitchy for novice wakestylists IMO but great for big boosting and loops.
But yeah Im on slingy's now 
Yep, Rally's and Celeritas great gear. I'm with Bris bud the current SS distributor is letting the brand down. It's a shame we don't have easy access to Slingy gear. Hope it changes soon.
We do have good access thanks to kiteline. And great pricing if you like that combination. Most consumers these days shop around. I'm in that group. Not here too profit from my regurgitated nonsense!
And for the record. I'm not n never have been or would have been in a previous life a washed up and desperate ex used car salesman..... I like too work hard for my Bread n butter,toys n lifestyle... Not brainwash people for coin.
Just seems a shame we can't get onto a Slingshot website here in Australia and get gear easily.
It's seems too be a very tight product through anyone in Australia. They sell what's got the best margin, not what might be better suited too sum. I'm glad I got hooked on fuels when I started, cause there's nothing too compare them too!

+1 on this, I have the 2011, it launches as easily if not easier than any bridled kites i've used. Quite splendid really.
I now own a 2010 11m fuel. all I need is wind! it will be nice to compare my 2013 11 razor!
