toby.. i think you meant to post that on
www.bashbestkiteforum.com..
lets not start brainwashing a new rider just yet...
Dan got his 16m in from real and its in great shape.
he ordered a 12 and 9 immediately after.. plus got a bar/lines for cheap cheap cheap..
deals are out there for all kite brands if you look. 2006 waroos saturated the market and i think these will be be $200 by the end of summer...
2006 waroos are great kites.. ive had my 12 and 9 for over a year now and not a single flaw (prob just jinxed myself..).. put my 12 in a tree twice and crashed more than i could count.. i have tons of hours on this kite and i always inflate to MAX pressure.. (Jayson told me once "that is the most inflated kite i have ever touched")..
i think quality control on the 2006 waroos were an issue.. some reported insane problems with nearly new kites.. my bridles and pulleys are in near perfect condition.. not a sign of wear on my bridles at all.. some people wore through theirs in weeks.. VERY ODD and smells of horrible quality control. i do think best kicked it up for the 2007.. dont see any major issues reported on these kites.
age old arguments of course...
