THIS IS A GREAT KITE! I've had at least 10 switchblades over the years and they give me the best all round performance with no issues. I bought it late 2019 and haven't really used it for the last year or so as I bought the 2021 version. The kite is strong and in very good condition. It rarely touches the water when I go kiting. There are 2 tiny professional repairs (see pic) - one was a 1cm cut and the other is a pinhole. but he covered it anyway to make sure it didn't get any worse. The sheet material is definitely in good condition, but I must have bumped it on something without realising. When I go to the beach, I set up, kite, then go home. I never leave them out in the sun unnecessarily. This kite is forgiving for beginners and great fun for experienced kiters. Lots of control and power when required for long, high air or tricks. Great upwind ability. Works great in light winds and still comfortable in up to 25 knots (with a bit of depower). Comes with easy control Cabrihna bar and lines in good condition that adjust to suit my 12 and 10m kites. Also have a carbon fibre ABOARD 136cm great condition for sale for $250 (see pic) and a free seat harness if you need it. $1350 for the lot. If you want to know more get in touch by email and I'll give you my phone contact. Cheers
