0 problems w/ leading edge. (again.. i sense a jinx in the makings)

12m waroo had slight leak in one strut bladder when i first received it. Best sent me 2 replacement bladders the next day.

the BEST vs the Rest debate will go on forever.. and ever... and ever...

this horse has been beat too many times.

Thing is, if I was to teach someone to kite I would start them on a C kite.

I think everyone needs to fly a C kite to begin with to really understand the kites power and learn to edge against it. I can tell you that I have lost a lot of my edging skills. I rode that Monkey Kite last week for a while and tho it has some good depower, its no where close to a waroo. When the wind picked up I was going "WOAH!! Been a while since I've nearly been toppled over by my kite".

I think a good 13 or 15 meter C kite is perfect for learning.
Learn to get up and go, plane, go upwind, maybe small jumps..then make that decision on where to go from there.

my 2 cents.
