as well as statements from the riders.
RRD Obsession – officiel description:
In 2009, RRD Obsession is the only SLE kite i RRD’s kite lineup – a 4 line freestyle
kite with C-kite feeling.
RRD consider the Obsession to be a trendsetter with an optimal mix of turning
speed and power/grunt – perfect for kiteloops and waveriding.
RRD Obsession is a very stabile kite, where focus has been on making it fast in the
the bigger sizes while still retaining the massive lowend power. The smaller sizes
have been developed with a slower turning speed on purpose, in order to create a
consistent feel across the sizes. The result is that all sizes have an impressive
lowend power and is perfect for unhooked riding.
KWPT world tour 2007 winner Seb Garat uses RRD Obsession, and finished number
2 with this kite recently in PKRA in Portugal. A SLE kite doing that well in a PKRA
competition is not something you’ll see everyday!
Kite characteristics according to
RRD

Seb Garath: Thanks to this
Kite, it’s possible to make all
the New School Freestyle
Tricks. With the perfect
setting, you have nearly the
same feeling than a C-Kite.
The Obsession is going to be
my weapon for all the
