Core Nexus 4 All-Around Kite

From Bobby Deden @ Houston Kiteboarding: "To test out the New Core Nexus 4. I decided to take out the two most popular sizes for our local riders, the 10m/12m Nexus4. First Session I went out on the 12m, the conditions that day were slightly underpowered for me on a 12m at 65 kilos and 13-21knots of wind. For the experienced rider the Core Nexus4 with three quick dives of the kite will get you up and riding. The Nexus4 is a Very quick and light in the bar kite, in underpowered conditions it sat well in the sky with little signs of back stalling. I self-launched this kite and noticed immediately I needed more back line tension to get this kite off the ground and to put it deeper in the wind window. In the air its fast and reactive. I loved parking it on foil & with the surfboard it was awesome. The kite loves to drift and ride with the lines slacked. On foil the around the world and the walk the dog tricks. Although doable kind of tough with the flatter leading edge. Stick the kite deeper and its works okay. All all-around / Freeride kites just work okay for more intermediate foil tricks. I won't hold it against the kite. For twin tipping setting your edge for a jump was almost too easy. Just like any Core Equipment, they favor comfort and refinement and always the best bar feels of any control system I have used. The kite is a flying kite. Meaning you need to move it and create apparent wind to get the 'pull' you need to get up and riding. Versus a kite like the XR that is more park and ride style. If you are after something to throw around and playful that handles punchy gusty the best out of any of the hybrid/delta c shape style kites out there. This is the best one I can recommend for that 'RPM' style unhooked / surfy riding. "
