get lessons!!
I agree with this.
I learnt on a 13.5 2008 Cult so I have some experience here.... My thoughts would be that if you can afford a newer kite get one. I bought a Cabrinah 2009? IDS next and my world turned around, and my kiting progressed loads...
I thought the Cult 13.5 was pretty slow in the air (I guess the 12 is faster though) and it started to bug me... However it was absolutely BOMB PROOF, had loads of grunt, great depower, and relaunched pretty easy. If you are paying over $600 think again...
