Can any of you guys compare these 2 kites?

Can someone with some wind that has flown these 2 kites tackle this one? I have only kited once in the past 2 months...waiting for September to come around.

Found this on the RRD Obsession:

Does not seem like anyone has tried the Flexifoil Ion 4? At least I could not find any reviews online.

Thanks for the answer. I already know Obsession pretty well as I have them in 9 - 10½ - 12 m
I like 'em a lot. But the reason for my question is that our local Flexi guys have "offered" me to ride Flexifoil. Tempting if the kites rock.
I of course need to demo one, but they haven't got any in stock right now.
So therefore, in the mean time - (fish)

- , looking for other (and maybe better) riders experience....

Thanks !

Really a tough call... my past experiences flying both brands tells me that they will feel totally different. Interested to see what the Ion4 is like, always been a fan of Flexi, but RRD has been rocking lately.

@Phatair: 2 months without wind! Is that even healthy?
Here in Denmark I don't think we go a week without wind. However the "price" is that it's pretty cold 8 months a year (oops)

Long live 6 mm suits and drysuits (rock)

@Codder: Just talked to the guys. I will have a 10,5 m in demo within 10 days. I will return with a comparison if you are interested?
