Don't even think about the 08 Helix. only 09.
I remember there was a very good deal for them at the end of the season, each kite use to come with a free board!
If you get 2 you will only need 1 bar and if you don't get the boards you might be able to get you self a nice bargain.

The 09 Helix is a much better kite than the 08. Build quality is better and the design and responsiveness of the kites is 100% on last seasons Helix. If you can get a deal, go for it. I just PM you..

Ive got 09 9m and 12m helix's, get the 09's over the 08's. i had the 08 12m and the 09 is a much better kite- faster, easier relaunch and more power. Not all that happy with the swivel system though, the knot can get caught and the lines can tangle around the swivel system aswell, Saying that its only happened once though. Great kites.

I have an 08 Helix, I bought it second hand for about 300 pounds a year ago. Its lots of fun to use and I enjoy it. It turns fast and can sometimes be hard to relaunch. My 12m is an 07 Boxer SLE which is due to be replaced this season with something with more grunt for jumps.

If people are saying the 09 Helix is streets ahead of the 08 then I would love to get an 09 12m!

I don't think you can go wrong with 08 Naish boards. probably what is left over is the least popular sizes and models anyway. I have an 07 Sol and I don't see a need to replace it in a hurry. The wood core design gives it a real snowboardy feel.

The deal has actually been extended to include 09 boards now so there is still a variety of sizes to choose from.
