Don't buy second hand, C kiters tend to be hardcore and ride loaded compared to the average school kiter. The manly kiter has probably sold their kite cause it is past the used by date.This shape is no good ( or ). Anything with x in the name, no good. If the kite has any bridle, remove it. Something worth close to $2K is way overpriced. Don't kid yourself, kites have no resale value anyway. Depending how you're looking at this, C or U shape is the best
