(perhaps your seller is not so au fait with your urban approach to written communication and so does not understand your inquiry. a more old-fashioned prose approach may help the seller to understand that you are interested in his/her kite.)

mate, all crapping on about writing styles aside, there are lots of good kites out there. no reason to limit yourself to naish. talk to some crew at your local beach and have a look at what they ride.

as a beginner you want a bridled (sle) kite (bow, or delta) and anything post 2008 should be fine.

My 2 cents... Naish kites feel and fly really well. However, originally my 07 kite, then my 08 Cult basically self destructed. The material just fell apart.

Ive had new naish kites every year for the last 9 years and I would stick with the helix but not the 2008 model. Spend the extra cash and get the 2009 helix at least, 2010 is even better. The 2008 model helix/cult weren't a great kites.

yeah why have you decided that naish is the kite you must get?
heaps better choices Nelly the naish 08 helix and cult are ok sort of but there were heaps of better kites in 08 like the slingy Rev
the naish one pump octopuss system is total crap don't get an alliance from 08 they were just a pile o crap

SO what your saying is... if you get a griffin argo, you will not get a better kite or support or value than if you just bought a naish kite.. then might as well go for the preferred brand be that naish of griffin if griffin isn't anything better in support, value or kite , you really need to work on the pimping ol chap. there is subtle and then there is just bloody confusing
