Conisering buying a 13m 04 or a 13m 05 SS Fuel. Both in excelent condition. I am an advance new-b (can stnad but not go up wind yet), I'm 75kg and live in Melbourne. Can get the 04 for $450 or the 05 for $550. The 04 I get to look at and the 05 is posted.

Any ones advice would be appreciated.

ihave a 05 fuel and its my first kite as i only started this winter. its a great kite and you can easily put a 5 th line kit on it, if it isnt already. i guess the 04 would be good but i would reccommend the newer kite as its turning around to the 07 season.

I learnt on the 13m "05 slingy fuel. It was great, plenty of go. I've ridden the '04 and didn't think it had as much de-power, still a nice kite to fly. The '05 still doesn't have heaps of de-power but the 5th line made it much more manageable. Make sure you've got the 5 line setup, makes life much easier.
My '05 13m's for sale if your interested, can test ride in geelong. if your interested contact me through seabreeze.
