i've got an 11m fuel 05 & its the best. Really responsive & fast turning, lots of power when you need it, i would get one of every size in a split second if i could afford to.
I weigh about 68kg & have had the 11m out in around 12 knots (powered right up, just enough to get me goin on a 122 length board) right through to 25 knots, was right on my limit at 25 knots but still able to ride & get upwind easy.
I'm saving at the moment to get a 7m for 25 knots+ haven't tried a 7m fuel 05 yet but i'm sure it will be as good as my 11m.

haha thats gold

still have to make up my mind whether to go with a kite I know - wipika matrix - or go with something you hear so much about.
Anyone got any qualms with SS 05?? Anything you dont like...quality etc??

Go with the SS 7!

I've had mine 2 weeks, and I'm super impressed.
I'm 70 kg, and with a FLX 122 it is brilliant. I've flown it at ROTTO in 35 kn, and also had a great sail at Cott in only 20 kn.

For a small kite it is very predictable........no nasty descents from 20 feet when the wind backs off a little. Taking it to LANCELIN TOMORROW......its a great wave kite.

Oh, and another huge bonus. For a small kite, one pump is great, as getting small ribs inflated and tight is a pain otherwise.

It Hurts So Good!

Goofster, I'm a relative newby and I've got a 9m diesel and 13m fuel. I haven't had the 13 out that much, but have been rapped with the diesel. Easy to relaunch, copes with gusts really well. It's been great to learn on, I've been out on it from about 15 knots to about 27 knots. Only problem I've had is my valve keeps popping out on big hits. One pump rocks!

My diesel is an 05 model, 4 lines. I was riding last week, in some of the really gusty strong stuff with no real probs. Shortened the front lines at the kite and had the depower about half on. You're about the same weight as me and I've found it to be perfect. I'm on a 142*38 board. Haven't tried it without the Auto-pilot system yet, but I'm told that turns it in to something like a fuel. Any one else tried?
Goofster, I'd say go for it!
