Lol that's a funny one droffats. Be careful taking advice of someone who claims to give the real story. Although there are some good points in that reply. Yes the screamer is built to jump for sure.
The screamer is also easier to jump which I made apparent.
But from my rides on it, well it's not for me.
You need to try both and see how they feel.
C kites do not pull you on the beach anything close to the edge. Short power throw? What has that got to do with apparent wind build up. Now he's moving into bullshit land and I started to wonder if he's even worth listening to!
but again some good points. the smaller edges do way more than jump and race. For me they are an awesome free ride kite.
Again get on both. The screamer has been driven a lot by Internet hype by riders who are obviously stoked, the edge is true and tried. The hype didn't match the reality for me. Not saying this isn't the kite for you though.
If I wanted to be ripped off the water intensely myself I'd be using a C or C hybrid, not a screamer.
