The C4 usually gets released late November, after the Reo and the Catalyst in September/October, so we probably won't hear much for a few months.
Looking at what they did with the Edge I'm putting my money on D2 cloth, sexy new graphics, and some subtle tweaks to the shape!

hope the protect the seams in the leading edge because in last years models
after some sessions seams started to tear
2012 model still the best for me!

Wow, good job transforming an ugly kite into something really ugly. Hope that means they focussed all their efforts on the flight characteristics then

Steady Mr North! My aussie flag colour C4 is best looking kite ive ever had....certainly not inspired by opening a babies dirty nappy or pile of spew as most north kites seem to be
brown, pink and lime green...together cmon!

New colours aren't my taste but until you see in the flesh hard to tell

As for flight characteristics, if they lowered the bar pressure a little id have nothing bit C4s and a Zepher

If your old arms need a lighter bar pressure then perhaps you should try the Vegas mate. Or the Mist, I heard there is one for sale . Or the Razor if you want a really good kite.

Haha yes okay. I was just commenting on the improved graphics. Flight wise the C4 has never been my cup of tea. Good kite but not for me. Maybe this one will be? You'll notice that I actually say good things about a lot of brands we don't sell. For instance I think the new Vegas looks f***ing great. Really well done by North. Also digging the new Razor and Torch. Don't act like you know anything about me

Here we go, the other KP aliases come out on the defence.

I said nothing but facts Steve.

Tell your pimps to stop ridiculing other brands and maybe people won't react! I hadn't so far. Can continue if you want though. Depends if you reckon it's really that good for business..

Why did Drury need to post four times on the recent Switch thread when someone asked for advice from someone who had flown a Switch Element 3?

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/Review/Switch-Element-3/

Direct the question you asked me above, to Drury, next time you have a chat..

You're obviously feeling threatened by the brand you try to ridicule. Other retailers have the dignity to let it be.

As for this thread and the now removed "absolutely sick" looking 2D drawing, it's the same every year at this time. Same hype, BS & fake logins.. I wonder where 'Railey 101' (who joined just to post that pic) actually got the "confidential pre-release pix" from..

The anonymity you can have with a mobile device with no static IP address when creating a login.. No, you wouldn't do that..

'September member' 'jimbo77' made sole use of his three posts to bash Switch. That wasn't very "nice", why didn't you direct your comment above to him either?

Your move.

I just read the thread from your link subculture, it all sounded legit to me ?
I bought a kite that's rated highly by most and I don't like it catalyst 2013 .
Now going back to a c4 that most don't like .
The moral '' everyone has an opinion ,but go your own''
Ozone c4 ever !!! LOL

The fact that you think it took me a long time to compose that, says even more about you.

As far as time spent on forums, check the numbers. It's not me who's been all over every review thread recently - with an obvious agenda.

A lot of people make purchasing decisions based upon what they read here. Especially if they can't demo. Seems like if KP don't sell it, it isn't worth having..

BTW - I don't kite at night. I do sleep with a clear conscience though, how about you KP pimp?

Drury is one of the best kiters in australia therefor his opinion counts for something. after all that is why you get sponsored in the first place.
Everything he has said about anything that i have ever ridden has been spot on.
If you could do half the stuff he can do on a kite maybe your opinion would matter too.

More power all round, more stable and great for pop and drop wakestyle tricks. Less twitchy so is great to park and ride. More drive in the loops.
I could go on and on but the only real way to justify these kites is to test them for yourself as everyone has different opinions.

Yep had a good go on the 11 last Saturday at a Kitepower demo in Sydney, it felt great! Getting even closer to a C-shape feel while still retaining user friendliness.
Should be getting my 9 and 12m this week, hopefully can get enough wind for a couple of sessions on both in the next few days for a more detailed review!
