About this kite

The Obsession is RRD's freestyle lineage: crisp pop, reliable slack and the direct handling competitive riders built world-tour campaigns on. Modern generations keep the aggressive heart while smoothing the edges for ambitious amateurs. A name that means intent in the Italian range.
