SScott, I thought you were just an all-around pimp nowadays! LOL! :lol:

Yeah,

But, now I literally get paid for it, unlike before :shock:
Seriously tho, we do have enough brands that I don't have to "push" anyone into anything. Hell, I even sell Cabrinhas :?

Can't beat getting paid to do what you love.

SScott, have you tried the XBow II yet? it's a helluva nice kite

The waroo bar is $229 and I bet you can find a cebrinha bar to go with this kite for $75 less so you save over 100 smackers

not to prove you wrong BigR but i just purchased a 9m waroo, used one time, for 400 bucks (includes small and large pump,repair kit and upgraded pullies), and its easy to convert any bar to work on the waroo for another $125 (used bar and converting it), thats only $525 bucks for a waroo complete that is basically brand new

you just have to keep your eyes open and be patient

Yeah but you bought it on ebay or one of those auctions from a real person not from a retail store right Danny?

Moot point, my 9m sold already anyways........

bought it from i guy on the best forum, not ebay, it never would of went for that low on ebay, i just happened to be checking the forum right after he posted it and got first dibs on it

$200 off retail and it looks like you got real lucky, congrats

def. a great pick up Danny..

i suspect that by the time the season is in full bloom here that there will be a number of slightly used high performance bows around (waroos and whatnots) for some great prices..

patience is the key...

I'm looking for 14 and a 16 waroo myself.

inferno · #19 08-09-2006, 12:38 PM

act quick cause the guy i got the 9 from also has a 16, i think he wanted 700 for, only used once

Ok so I think i will try to get 3 kites. 9m,12m and a 16 I'm still not sure what brand but I am looking at the Xbow2, switchblade and Waroo. I see waroo is coming out with a kite called the waroo pro does anyone have any info on this?

Also I can only buy two kites to start. what sizes should I get first?

Do I need a bar for each kite?
