Which is how this whole thread started - how do you know which kite will give you the most stoke? Thats the question. Its hard to demo them all.

Watch videos, pick some riders that ride the way you want to ride, research what kites they fly on the net, research those kites, try to find a demo.

yeah 01 for sure, I can't believe a seller named bluntmandan would make that kind of mistake. Laughing Laughing Laughing


this is what the sellers replied back to me with

"well its actually an 04 according to the guy at the surf shop but I miss printed the tag"

i cant believe a shop could be that clueless.

I sent ebay a note, but who knows if they'll actually do anything. Funny thing is that there's an actual 2005 11m Fuel on sale right now and the two are obviously not the same kite. Guess the buyer didn't do his research.

iKite classifieds are riddled with people that do this... I reported one of them but it never got taken down. Buyer beware...

I generally buy my quivers used and I definately come accross kites that are mislabeled years. I started googling the year to verify the pictures.
