2004 16M Bronco

Has anyone flown one of these yet in a 16m, the 2004's?They look like they turn fairly fast, any comments as I am thinking of getting one but trying to decide between that and a Naish V4

Hey Steve,

I have not flown the 2004 OR 16, but I recently bought a 2004 OR 14, and it is by far the best kite I have purchased.

When I say best, I mean most fun. It is incredibly responsive, stable and predictable.

Based on my experience, I would also ike to get either the 16 or the 18, and I have not yet made up my mind. As soon as I get a chance to try either, I will post my experience.

Happy Kiting, regardless of what you get!

Cheers,

KSKK

I just purchased a new O.R. 12 ,it rocks...the de :D signer (Ross Harrington) told me you can expect the new 16 to fly like the old 12 ....The 12 is a very responsive kite,so I am sure the new 16 will serve you well!
Thermals are good.

Flew the NIASH x-4 16 at Island view today,Really light winds,session was short,Kite flew really well.This kite is going to rock.High aspect,flew it'self really well,very stable.Going to have a huge range for sure.This kite is for experts. Constuction is topknotch,check the Naish website for more info.If you are interested!Looking closely at the kite,I can see, the constuction is the best yet.everything is so clean,just attach your lines and go.I used my old bar and lines at island view,now I can see how much they have streched.a few ajustments and good to go,for next session.These kites are not cheap,and for a reason,attention to detail important.Try one out.There wil be demos's available,from the local supplier.Not mine!

:D I have been using a 14 meter 2004 Bronco at Squamish and the kite rocks. Excellent construction, fast response and tons of range. Myself 180lbs. don't need any bigger kite. Plus with OR you get awesome local support from a Canadian design team. Can't ask for more!
