Jake,

I am here in St. Augustine (from St. Pete originally).

I have had the opportunity to ride the 16m now on several occassions (including last night). While I was riding last night, a local rider (Jimmy Hill) was also on a 16m Waroo. He weighs about 200. We had about 12 knots of wind. He was doing great (I had to depower the kite at 155 pounds). We have a 20m here today to demo right off of the Best Bus.
My impression (so far) is that the 16m delivers quite a bit of low end power, even for the bigger guys.
It also feels very smooth, and IMO, jumps very nicely.
A good light wind board with the 16m may be all the power you need, even in light wind.. I will try to ride the 20 today if its not too windy. I will also just ask Shannon "Why do you have a 20m Waroo?" :shock:
I am sure he will have a good answer.
