Felix - dude - go the new hybrids, don't pay that price for an 07 model. Once you get past the beginner stuff you can handle the speed of the new hybrids (like a Vapor) no problems.
Look on buy and sell - You can pick up a practically brand new 12m Vapor II (just released) for around that price (bit of bargaining) - check out Lance's in Australind. Used it 4 times and stuffed his neck playing footy - firesale!

I have one and I can guarantee you it is one very very nice kite. Absolutely craps all over my 07 bridled bow, in every respect.
"dude,
there is a difference between throwing a railey and doing a mobe. All the moves u listed above could be done on a bag of ****. For harder unhooked moves that are done properly (eg. unmuscled, kite low passes) a bow or sle is not up to it. Yeah sure you can do it on a bow but its then all about strength and dingle. Watch vids of the cabrate kids on Switchblades and EH kites, MUSCLE!."Carbine
4x world champ and full on wakestyle rider, Mr hadlow rides a ........... kite..
He probably does this for a reason..... mabe the flying characteristics??.
Can someone tell me if the 05 SS Fuels can be flown 5 line, or do they need a centre pigtail added to them?
There is a 7m i've seen for less than $100, no bar and lines, 1 pin hole patch. Was hoping i could use the bar and lines from my SS Link and fly it 5 line.
Cheers for any help
started on a 17 now down 2 a 7 the fuels are all good.direct action.All should learn too use ones self for ballast.
well...... actually. a "bow" kite is called a "bow" kite because the trailing edge is the same shape as the leading edge and thus looks like a "bow" its got nothing to do with all that other stuff.
I don't really think it matters when it comes down to it what kite your riding (C or Bow), it's how you do it. Dre rides switchblades pretty good and new bows don't have the same sort of undepowereable unhooked pull as the first lot. C's in ideal conditions are probably better but it is really about rider comfort.
