I've still got my original two line Naish Ar 3 9m bucket with the skull and cross bones on it, that I started on back in 2000, I converted it to 4 lines ages ago and bring it out for a kite when it s honking every now and then. Also I've still got a Naish areo 8, 12 and a Naish aero2 18m that I still use on light days. They are all still in working order but I don't think that i would sell them, I like to think that i will use them if my currnet new kites might get damaged.

There are 81 FUELS for sale in the buy and sell from 2004 to 2008

Try the shops.
They often end up with superceded kites following trade-ins.
I reckon most would have a bunch of C's stashed out the back, although even they might have cut their losses by now and thrown them out...

Thanks dude but if I do a search for "kites" "WA" "12m" "$0 - $400" I come up with 4 listings, 3 of which I'm not interested in and one that doesn't answer his phone.

Don't s'pose you can tell me how the Fuel 13m goes compared to a 12m, just wondering if it'll be too much for me at 85kg and the average Perth summer seabreeze 18 - 25 knots.

i've got a 2006 7m North Rhino i'm just dying to get rid of as i never use it and its still in great condition.

Make me a reasonable offer and its yours!

Yeah I've got about 15-20 in my garage that don't get used anymore. I pulled a couple of the newer ones out to take photos of and one was still tied up hehe. Nobody wants any new/old RRD kites do they hehe. I think most people who have been doing it for a while still have them. It's alot easier to buy a new kite than it is to sell an old one.

I've gota couple of Airush Reactors, 12M & 15M if you are interested

I wish i'd kept mine :( 7m 2001 Fuel...

13m light wind thing $100 or $150 with bar. 06 model

I think as soon as a kite gets to a point where someone can only get $300 bucks for it they keep it as a backup kite rather that sell it for nothing. The ultimate kite to get is one that's about 4 years old that's only been used 10 times by a beginner and then pulls it out to get some cash. You see them occaisionally for around $500.

You'd need an 11m Fuel for 18-25 knots. From 06 onwards the depower improved a lot. An 11m 06 Fuel is still a pretty sweet kite if you can get one that has had minimal use.

Sold my 2004 (I think) Aero II 12 to some dude in the states, for $500 plus postage! Was happy about that!

What ever happened to the person wanting trashed kites for some art project... Anyone remember that thread?

i think i may have the oldest C kite in the world still in use 99 2 line wipika free air when these came out they where just over $2k its a 5m ex school kite in very used condition i cut the wing tips off put battens in and made it a 5 liner have used it a few times in the waves , sweeeettt as bro . bring back the the twin stringer

I have an 06 CO2 which is awsome...learnt on a naish ARX which was like flying a brick tho....still have it...tore the central bladder then sowed it up myself with cotten and needle and its dodgy as...haha was good enough to give my sister to learn to fly tho :D

Check kite stores...I got my CO2 for $250 and it had been used twice.

I have a 10meter, 2004 Nitro if anyone is interested in it.

It has never been used, and is fresh out of its plastic bag.

The ropes and bar haven't even been setup thats how new it is.

If anyone is interested make me an offer
