The Best Waroo is a kite for bow kite fans. A good price for a reasonable kite. Although it must be said, when you hang to a Best Waroo, you immediately notice the attention to simple details. The finish on the kite is a ok.
For the intermediate kiter I should say, the Best Waroo is for that day with gusty winds and downright crazy conditions. Other that that you’ll want to grab a modern c-kite for a little more bar pressure and more aggressive jumps, and definitely not the Best Waroo.
The Best Waroo 2008 is way different than, for example, the Best Waroo 2006. It has way more control and more lift. ehm what does Best itself has to say about the Best Waroo. “The 08 Best Waroo’s big surf ability has been enhanced by our the VP2 front bridle system. The VP2 short-throw front pulley system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE, giving a more stable kite that can be ridden deeper into the wind window.
With increased depower, VP2 gives maximum wind range from reduced bar travel and increases turning response without any increase in back line pressure.” Hmm, positive as always I hear. Truth is that the Best Waroo 2008 is really worth it. But not for every kiter though. If you want to learn ne tricks fast, or want to get up on waveriding: the Best Waroo will deliver.
Can’t wait to get back to Cabarete DR and do some kitesurfing. What are the costs of your own gear? I have only rented and the one mentioned above is very nice. Thanks
