RRD Obsession Pro 2013 Kite Review
Kite Features
The RRD Obsession Pro is an exclusive kite. It is designed especially for the hardcore freestylers who demand performance without compromise. Unlike the Obsession MKV which can accommodate all types of riders, the Obsession Pro is more agile, more powerful and more playful. It is the weapon of choice for dedicated freestylers, as stated.
The RRD team thought that it was about time for a new 4 line C shape kite to rule the world of freestyle. And that is how the new Obsession Pro was born. The Obsession Pro features a refined, full C-shape which delivers massive power, massive boost and precise control.
The kite turns really fast and flies very quickly. At the same time it is able to perform great loops. The great thing about it is that it has a full neutral pull during loops. The kite features a 4 line attachment with 5th line. This feature provides extra safety and accurate control.
A short bridle prevents tangling and improves steering feedback. A medium bar pressure allows the rider to feel the kite at all times. The Obsession Pro also features a Special Global Freestyle Bar setting which hardcore freestylers will love.
Construction features:
- LE Parallel seams for maximum strenght and lower stretching
- Full Dacron leech and wingtips
- PVC round label strut end protectors -Metallic PU strut end reinforcements
- DP 175 LL Dacron -Tejin T9600 Canopy
