Tom, you aren't keeping any C kites? I bought a 16M Turbo Diesel but will NEVER stop flying C kites, the extra grunt is just so nice to have sometimes...

I am only selling the larger half of my quiver. I have a 7m,9m,13m,15m,18, and 21m.

I will try to use the 16m waroo to replace the 15,18, and 21. I will keep the 7, 9, and 13 until I can get a 9m waroo... then I will only keep the 7m.

tom, dont try to do the 16/9 quiver

i wont work especially since you want to start going unhooked, trust me

your next waroo should be a 12m for sure, im positive brian would agree

the 12m will work from 13knots to about 30, then you could use the 7m C untill you get a 7m waroo (i hear they will start to work in solid 20, powered enough to hit decent jumps)

danny is 100% correct..

a 9/16 split will not give you ample sweet-spot coverage.. a 12 will fit really nice in the middle there to get those 16 to 22 days.

ive pimped my 12 waroo since day 1.. its really my fav kite of any i have ever flown. sad that best now only has the 11 and the 13m kites.. i assume the 11 is the same size as my 12m (need to do a size comparison on the beach sometime)..

Bryan,

Sad that they only have the 11 and 13. I don't understand.

Don't they have every odd number from 3 up to 17 and a 20 as choices?

I love the new bar. Does anyone have it? or the upgrade kit with the dynamic stopper ball, yet?

The '07s are definitely nice. At the price point, they are slowly invading every nook and cranny.
Funny stuff for those of you that have known me for several years.

ill get the upgrade kit once my 06 waroo bars need em.. i might pick up one just for the stopper soon tho.. nice to be able to milk every bit o' wind on those lighter days..

I wouldn't worry. They both rock compared to the 06.
If you want more low end than the 12 get the 13, vice versa.
Just more choices.
Allan from Sarasota has a 13 Rastaroo. Maybe you can demo it?
Bruce has an 11m Rastaroo, maybe he will demo his.

I have that bar if you want to peek at it or rig it up to your kite for awhile.
