U-turn Oxigen Pro 4.5M

Got this kite about a month ago as a step up from our collection of bullets. The largest we had was a 4.5 and I was finding I used this more and more even in higher wind. I decided I could do with something that put out similar traction with a bit more performance and the oxi pro has done this very well in the 4m size. Power is given smoothly throughout the window and though the kite can luff a little more than the bullets (as could be expected with any intermediate kite) it's faster speed in the air tends to allow you to swoop out of it better than is possible with a bullet or begginer kite. The kite tends to reinflate well from luffing with speed and responsiveness

The kite puts out more power than you'd expect for it's size - more in fact than our 4.5 bullet. In terms of lift - there is not too much - but it certainly is there. I have never tried them but people say the lift is similar to that of a blade 3.

Overall I think that the kite is very fantastic - with all things seemingly taken into account - even packing away (there is a really usefull velcro strip for the bridels on the kite). I would certainly recomend to anyone wanting to progress into more high performance kites and I know that it has certainly given me a great edge on my dad and my friend matt in our little races (though i have fears this will be lost now as he got an oxi the other day after trying myne out.)
