Hey guys, I am an intermediate kiteboarder looking to progress to the next level. i have two years kiteboarding experience and want to buy a Naish Torch. I have been shopping around and i have found a couple of kites that would like to buy.

what i want to know is is there any major differences between the 2011 model and the 2012 model that will help or disadvantage me in my progression.
If not which model am i better off getting keeping in mind i don't have an unlimited budget.

- Thanks

hey dude, there isnt a whole lot of difference between these 2, the main thing is the depower rope has plastic over it in 2012 and it is slightly more stable, go for what ever one is in better condition and cheaper, not all that much in them!

The 2012 also has the option of above the bar depower handles, and has slightly better glide in my opinion. The 2011 drops you like a sack of sh!t after a big boost if you misjudge your timing. Go 2012 for sure.
