I'm considering selling my much loved North Bullet 2009 kite surfboard as there are some pretty interesting designs out now for 2011 and I wouldn't mind trying one out but need the money to do so!

It is in good condition. It has had the odd scrape to it and a couple of small knocks and the fins are a little worn from riding into the shallows too much but that is about it. I will take pictures for anyone interested.

If your wondering what I'm talking about there is a video from North at: http://vimeo.com/3483271

It comes complete with straps although I prefer riding it strapless.

Great board - very easy to learn to ride a surfboard on. Bomb proof as well. I've ridden it in flat water and it gets going in very light winds, all the way up to 35 knot winds and 8ft waves. It does the lot and being a quad it tracks upwind like nothing else I've been on.

Someone elses review at: http://www.sdkc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=595

This board was over £450 new. I would sell for £230. No offers though.

PM if interested.

Pm'd you mate.

Never thought I would ever see this for sale James. I thought you loved your North Bullet - What you getting now?

I do love it but I would really like to have 2 kite surfboards. I love the look of the slingshot dialer that is actually fairly close to the size of my normal paddle surfing board (but built to withstand the heel dents of a kiter!). This would be a great board to take on those road trips. I could just take this and kitesurf when the wind is up and just ride the waves when the wide drops - perfect!

I'd then be looking for a cheap / second hand small kite surfboard to ride when the wind is mental and the waves are huge.

The bullet has / is brilliant and I'm happy to keep it but it sits right in the middle of what I'm now after. It is a one board that does it all for kiting but there is no chance of paddling in with it.

The plan is only possible by selling this board and my 12m North Evo (if anyone is interested).

Sounds like the way to go.

But is it wise to sell your 12m? That would leave you with a 9.5m as your biggest kite But then again you have been out on the 9.5m with a surfboard when I have been underpowered on my 11.5m.

The dialer would be even better than the bullet in light winds - it is very wide with what looks like a very flat rocker. I'm just waiting to read some 'non pimped' reviews to see if it will be what I'm after.

The 9.5m is super grunty. For now I'll be happy, especially with it being winter and the winds being typically stronger. In the not too distant future I'll sell the 9.5m and probably replace it with a 10-11 as my 'big' kite. I really like the look of the Ozone Catalyst which seems to get rave 'wave riding' reviews.

It all comes down to money though so I'll just have to wait and see. At least none of the list is as expensive as the Rev that you like. That is one expensive kite

Sounds like a nice board.
