Thinking to buy a new kite and I am looking at a brand new, never used 2014 North Neo and a 2016 used North Neo. Both 9m and roughly the same price. Which would you choose?

Just kite? 2016 bar is better but I am pretty sure the neo was redesigned for waves in 2014 so there wouldn't be much difference. I am on a 2015 7m and a 2016 10m and can't tell the difference, except the size, speed thing of course. 7m works for everything over 18 knots @ 75kgs, 10m 13-14 bottom end.

If nothing else, the airport 2 valve on the 2016 is a worthwhile improvement over the 2014.

2016 also had better adjustment between 4 and 5 line bars.

Have never flown the same sizes of each though so can't comment on flying characteristics (12m 2014 and 9m 2016) as its not a fair playing field.
