The RRD Obsession Gold Y30 is the reference big air kite in the range, developed for those who want to reach new heights with absolute control.
The new version integrates Aluula on most of the leading edge and strut connections, combined with 140 g/m² Rectex Dacron on the tips, for an extremely lightweight yet incredibly rigid and responsive frame.
The result is a kite over 20% lighter, extremely fast in rotation and capable of generating explosive lift, huge hang-time, and a marked second lift, making it the ideal choice for the most demanding big air riders.
