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

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.
