Great low-end power and large wind-range The Charger has an amazing wind range. Its good low-end performance, combined with the quick and easy turning, allows you to ride a smaller kite than you would have previously chosen in any given wind speed, without compromising the top end that the Twinskin kites are known for. The Charger’s wind range will give you the confidence to ride in any condition, no matter how gusty the wind is.
Responsive and easy control The Charger turns surprisingly quick and flies smoothly. Our riders report that it turns as fast or faster than some C-kites or bows. This kite challenges you to do kite-loops and go big. It can either be flown with slack or tight rear lines, its flying and turning speed are not affected by the rear line tension; this makes it a suitable kite for various riding styles. If you really like to throw the kite around the window, then this kite's for you.
Amazing lift and long float One of the best things about kiting is going big! The profile shape of the Charger, in combination with the speed of the kite gives good lift, for extremely high jumps. The large amount of float stands for longer airtime to perform supreme tricks and steady landings. Great Pop The Charger has a lot of Pop. You can load up the kite and get an explosive pop from the kite. This makes new school tricks with the Charger a piece of cake.
Stability and Auto-Zenith As with all Twinskins, the Charger has good stability, but we here at CWS have to say that the super fast turning rate that lets it work lighter winds has cost it some of the legendary stability and auto-zenith of previous ARC's. The Auto-zenith feature helps you by bringing back the kite automatically to the zenith, although the Charger will remain pretty active and will require more attention. If you like lazy park-and-rides on land you might prefer a Synergy or earlier ARC. While we have had a handful of customers come back for 2nd or even 3rd Chargers in various sizes for both inland land board and coastal water use, some have found that this aggressive handling style is not for them.
