Best Yarga 15m kite....identify?

Postby m2736185 » Tue Aug 18, 2015 3:08 pm

I just picked this up, kite doesn't even look like it was ever used. The person I purchased it from said they bought it a few years ago and never used it. I was looking at the Best site and I think the last year they made these was 07'. What do you guys think?

Damnit, I gotta stop buying these old kites. Every kite I have bought "in new condition" ended up being almost 9 years old. The Yarga seems to have mixed reviews. Some people say its the best c kite they had others hate them

that has to be a 2006, it says "fifteen" in script, I think for the 2007, the yarga didn't spell out fifteen

If it is a 2007 you can ride it CKite or SLE mode;

People come on you have google its not that hard to find out.

Dont buy kites without checking them first. personally i liked my yargas until they started to have the first material issues and then i had to bring them to the kiterepair every session. (yes i was still learning)

Use internet to find out about kites before you buy them.


Yarga 2006 http://www.kitehigh.nl/i/gear3/uploads/ ... 7537_l.jpg

So i guess its the 2005 http://www.kitehigh.nl/i/gear3/uploads/ ... 7372_l.jpg

2007 is completely different with a bridle setup aswell. http://i.ikitesurf.com.s3.amazonaws.com ... 9m_683.jpg

It's a 2005 for sure. I still have that exact kite in the kite graveyard section of my garage. Was a good kite, but there's no reason you should be learning on a c-kite. Design has come a long way since then. Take advantage of depower and relauncahability of a newer kite if you will be learning to ride. No reason to go through the pre-2006 process of getting dragged and thrashed when learning.
