The 06 Fuel seems so smooth, fast and agile... best C kite I have flown for sure. I wonder how they can improve it? Hein Since 08 Mar 2005 1314 Posts Possessed Fri Sep 29, 06 11:55 am     Too bad they didn't add a 6m and a 4m 2 m jump from 7 to 5 is too much. And the 5 can be too much sometimes. I like the cleaner look of the graphics.

It was a cool all black with red trim kite.

Wow, if they're stoked on the fuel, let them be stoked. Personally I have both and I will be buyin a quiver of C's again for next year. PRobly the menace(mig) or the Torch. Don't get me wrong, I'll ride a SLE in the waves on crankin days, but for most gorge days, I guess I'm good enough now to go back to C's and enjoy them for why most people do: predictibility and Jumping. blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward Sat Sep 30, 06 8:57 am    hein I think you are starting to sound a little like my Texan pal, cliff stone of the "hey watch this crew" might wanna think about somwhere with some waves this winter???        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
