Yeah.. when I said a few bills I meant $300 bucks.. this is what I was quoted for a complete w/bar 12m Ion compared to a complete 12m Waroo. And you are 100% correct that those few hundred dollars could be tossed back in with another hundred or two and you got yourself 2 Waroos.
Cool thing is that both kites use a very similar bar and both kites can be flown with pretty much any standard 4 line bar... you will lose the depowerability, but if this is not something that concerns you, kite only is all you need to buy.
That guy rippin it up on the 12m Waroo on the pulley yesterday at the SW is a great example!
From what I have seen, the Waroo is a finely made kite, but I do know that the construction level for the Flexifoils are right up there with the top of the class, if not the leader. Add the single pump and hot damn its a tough choice.
If anyone makes it over.. (I am not going to be able to go).. please let us know what they think of the Ion.
I put my name on the Ion list as well.. they should be in stock soon.
