Ocean Rodeo Soul drysuit is the absolute #1 for me this year. Don the suit at home, drive to the spot, on the water in 10 minutes, get off the water & in the car, suit's dry when home. Just awesome.
Other purchases that are also very good but not just that season-extending and easy:
Come to think of it, I've invested a LOT again this year into kiting. Totally worth it for the fun of it though

- F-one Trax 8 (to replace a 6 that went AWOL, returned after 6 months
but is no longer usable) - F-one Signature 6'0, my first foray into surfboard-waveriding, lovin'it even though I'm still learning to adjust to it

Axon WTF 5'6" surf that i love for LW and up to about 20 knots. Core XR3 8m that I really like for big air in high wind or for strapless surfing. I could also add the Spex Amphibious glasses, ugly look but great functionality! I wish to get an Engine harness for 2014

Flysurfer Cronix 12, Hyperflex Playa HZ jacket, and Nobile NHP.
Just acquired a Cab Contra 15m this fall that I haven't even flown yet. Wasn't available to demo, so I just took a shot. So far all the reviews seem great. I'll find out soon enough on vacation.

Re: best purchase for 2013?
Have to agree ...
1. Cabrinha Contra 2014 17m - amazed with this kite ... never had so much power ...
2. Ocean Rodeo Mako King (2013) - this board is so much fun (especially for bigger guys). It is home in waves and choppy water, yep, also great fun in flat water...
I have to also add my 2014 10mtr swtichblade - what a beast for a smallish kite ! love it...
and the 2014 12mtr switchy - mr reliable
(both much better than the 2013 switchy's imo, and also better than the 2012's as well)
have had 8 outa a possible 9 straight days kiting here ... pretty stoked
Merry Xmas & I hope u all have a windy New Year !

Re: best purchase for 2013?
Very happy with my Switch Element 7m. Needed a kite for the big windy days, and got this baby just in time for the Autumn. Most used size at the moment
