My 9M Rev I liked to call the "taco" for it's propensity to fold in half when falling back in the window.


Mmm, I love Tacos!!

Hard not to comment on this Smile I have every size fuel from 5-17 a full set of 06's and 07's. The only ones I really use are 7-15 and they all work great. Sometimes I run into trouble at the coast with the slow turning 15 in light winds, but other than that no complaints! I was in HR last summer on my 11 I came in and someone told me it was gusting 7-40, sweet! 11 is my money kite but I'm weighing in at 210. I might be the reason you don't see any old fuels for sale. I bought most of them Very Happy Anyway your welcome to try one of them sometime.

I'm really wanting to try the newer fuels too. I keep telling myself I'm going to make Aaron bring out my old 2005 9 meter fuel that I sold him and try it out again. I really liked my 13 meter 2004 fuel.

Unfortunately I won't be able to afford the 2010 fuel until 2015. Sorry Slingshot. I can't even afford your used kites.

PMB your free to take my Fuels for a spin any time. I could write a really long post on C kites (as I have in the past) but the main points are:

- They work best in the middle sizes, 7-9-11

- Depower, I ride my 9m in way more wind then I used to ride my 9m SLEs

- Relaunch, might take a bit more time but generally relaunch super easy just like my SLEs (pull on one side and wait, or reverse) might not relaunch well directly downwind of a jetty

- Sex appeal, way more IMO Very Happy
