That was like 3 or 4 years ago that Colin had that problem, wasn't it?
The Slinghys were just as bad at leaking back then and Best's kites really sucked ass back then. :twisted: Things change. Anyway, here is the link to the C kite by Best. I am curious who their target consumer is with this kite. http://www.oceanextremesports.com/ca...oon-p-890.html I better hop off of here now. |

No, it was (about) a year ago. He bought the kite brand new, it wouldn't hold air for more than 15 minutes ... changed all of the bladders (all of them) for airtime bladders twice and they would pop as soon as you inflated the kite. Helped him a few times baby powder the whole deal, no luck. We both gave up on it.
North gave him the run around so he bought a whole quiver of 07 waroos and threw the North in the trash. |

the fact that North took no ownership of the defect is the troubling part. Colin or Tom could maybe give more specifics .. Regarding Yargas.. the old Best Yarga C kites were very durable, stable, medium aspect C kites. I have 3 sitting in my garage that I learned to kite on. Dan B. and I beat them to hell on the beaches and water and they are still in perfect condition. I'd bet that the new Yargas will be quality kites if you want a C.. but I'd also say that you could get yourself a very nice SS fuel used for cheap cheap cheap and be very happy happy happy. We need an "old school day" where everyone comes to beach with their old C kites and wakeboards.. hehehe.. Jayson told me he still has his original 2-line kite... |

Yeah guys that was my question... I was confused because the 07 yarga had bridles and now the 08 doesn't.
I wasn't trusting the pics because they looked dated. If i has bridles it's a hybrid but I guess this is now a real C kite without the bridles. Best did make pretty good C kites... I had 5 of them. My 05 Yarga was awesome for a C kite (back then). But, I have no desire to go back to a C kite... hybrids are where it's at. |

Recommended to use it's own C bar too. It's all on the EK page I linked to. Who knows, maybe it will eclipse the waroo, what do I know. |

Gotta agree with Tom. That is a hybrid kite, not a straight C kite.
