Personally the added "upwindability that the edge gave me ment that it forced me to carve so much harder upwind when launching off so i gained way more height when ever i was teaching on those kites. Tho thos was theyre older like 2015ish models but i asssume theyre roughly the same as todays. They performed in this way i believe due to them sitting so far forward in the wind window because they were still ment to be a semi race kite back then.

The c4 at the time sat super deep in the wind window makeing it slack load and pop really good but upwind/jump height was reduced.

So yeah if you remove the branding its pretty much window positioning and thats tuneable once you kinda realise why kites behave the ways theys be doing

Shes tough love getting a blocky kite to keep pushing that edge of the window but a knifey ****er runs straight there everytime knowwhaimsayincheese

So some kites wanna sit deep some want to sit on the edge it aint rocket science foo

I am upgrading my 2016 Airush Union to a 2023 Ozone Edge. I know there are alot of variables. If all other things are equal, what sort increase in jump height can I expect from this change? Currently averaging around 4m.

I'd say double at least.... 8m

Thanks all for your replies.
