It definitely excels in all areas over the cabrinha switchblade. Ozone have made another quality product thats for sure

Compared to...
Everything else I have flown, it is an absolute pleasure to be attached to.
- Safe, practical, well designed bar.
- Quality built canopy
- User friendly simple inflate/deflate system
- Predictable, responsive flight characteristics
- Appealing looks
- Large, well thought out bag
Id recommend it to anyone who wishes to have a kite that is user friendly, dependable, fun and most importantly safe.
Remarkable piece of ingenuity.

Compare it to the chaos , this would be a better comparison
Keeping with tradition of my fellow seabreeze user I choose to keep this review genuine therefore I feel obligated to tell you that I cannot compare to the Cabrinha Chaos as I haven't ever flown one.
Well I guess that depends on what you want out of your kite. I am sure the Naish Torch ticks a lot of boxes for the hard-core freestyle orientated kite boarder who likes a well made kite that produces a lot of slack for massive fully sick handle pass manoeuvres. I however dislike the flying characteristics of the torch, I find it unstable in gusty conditions, I find the depower system to be quite primitive and EPIC like. I found the kite to produce very little pull relative to its size and the bag very small . When paying a premium price I expect a premium service that's why I think my 2014 Naish torch 7m is priced fairly at $750 in the classifieds of this site.
I think for the majority of kiters in the market who like to indulge in all aspects of the sport the c4 is a hummm dinga.
Fair enough they're a nice kite to fly, I' ve just got off old C4 to fuels just for the extra slack.
But I found with C styles the range is less so you need 3 kites instead of two to cover the same range, which doesn't sit well with a lot of people and resale on them is sh!t also.
For the General public there's better options maybe park, rpm?
Your post sounds a bit like a plug also. Did you pay retail for it? Or do you have an affiliation?
Disclosure : Self funded kite boarder no affiliation.
Started with a 2011 c4 trashed it to pieces then rode some other kites and have chosen to go back to the c4 as it suits my needs.
The post may sound pimpish but at this point I honestly don't have anything negative to say.

Spot on
Firstly I ride North Evo's 2014
so I tested out the 12m ozone c4 2014 and I was really impressed with some things and no so in others.
The water relaunch wasn't the best but thats what you get from a c kite.
Comparing the bars North wins hands down!
build quality was great on both
Unhooking on the c4 was magic def smashes the North Evo
Ultimately impressed by the kite hopefully next year they do some work on bar and im sold!
I Didn't find it heavy but if def Wasn't a lite tho. Had a nice meduim bar feel even when unhooked
