There are probably some more posts you could find with some searching.

From 09 on, all fuels come in 4 line with the CSS safety system. There is a tap for you to add a 5th line if you wanted to.

Relaunch is easier and it flips around like any other kite.

I did search but couldn't find anything. Not interested in bar differences nor 5th line as I plan on using them with fixed lines. A/R of 2009 higher than 2007, good for me. Anything else?

Thanks again.

That is about it. With the newer shape you get the kite flying a little further forward in the window and it loops like a SOB!! I find it a bit less responsive for waves but definitely not a poor performer. Bigger boosts and nice settings on the wingtip for wakestyle.
