Strengths

- Direct feel and fast turning
- Effective slack for unhooked tricks
- Stable five-strut platform
Weaknesses
- Less hangtime than a dedicated big-air kite
- Not a simple pull-and-go kite
- Requires solid technique and active flying
Who for
For intermediate-to-advanced and expert riders focused on freestyle, wakestyle or kiteloops in consistent wind.
