Twin skin foil all terrain kite
Designers goals
The Charger’s exclusivity is a result of years of experience in Twinskin design.
It represents yet another leap forward in terms of performance and safety.
Features such as optimized panel and profile design and the new VPC3 system, combined with a redesigned tip shape, significantly increased performance and turning speed.
With all this added performance, the Charger still features that Twinskin stability and Auto-Zenith feature which is still unmatched by any other kite out there!

There are 1 reviews on this product:
It lacked the low key, mellow nature of previous Arcs like the Venom, Phantom 1 and Synergy series. It was fast, aggressive and demanded a firm hand and rider input. The Charger is a kite that gives what it gets.
It's goes upwind very well for a moderately low AR wing. Turn rate is faster than any Arc prior to it's design. Lift is aggressive and at speed borderline violent if you aren't prepared. That lift also equate to explosive acceleration if sheeted in while crossing the center of the window.
In spite of it's performance it still has incredible depower and gust handling.
If you want a truly high performance Arc the Charger is an incredible kite. And with the reputation it has acquired over the last few years, a reputation that spurred the production of the Charger 2 (a mellower tuned down version more like the Synergy) the Charge can be had for relatively low cost.
