Here's a few difference between 2006 & 2007 model waroo's...
The points in green is what you have on your 2006 model...
EXCLUSIVE CANOPY FRAMING TECHNOLOGY
Kite-wide continuous reinforcementand load distribution zone. Helping to transfer turning loads across the entire canopy for the fastest response to flying inputs. High impact distribution zone, seperates canopy from airframe loading during crashes.
PERFECT PROFILE SHAPERS
High modulus glass fibre reinforced battens, flexible enough to bend tip to tip without breaking, stiff enough to provide the canopy with maximum support enabling faster flight, unmatched canopy stability and exceptional upwind ability.
SURF TOUGH CONSTRUCTION
A three layer, triple stitched LE seam with a full length webbing wrap. Designed to better absorb the shock of big wipeouts. The toughest LE seam on the market, rotated out of the way under the canopy to improve under canopy airflow.
PERFORMANCE MATCHED SIZING
Every size of the Waroo is designed to have the exact same feel and responsivenessas every other size, so jumping from a 15 to a 9 takes no rider adjustment. Every kite from the smallest to the largest delivers massive hangtime and unreal upwind performance.
HARMONIZED ARC
Every model in the 07 Waroo range benefits from size specific LE curvatures, ensuring the perfect ratio of lift surface to control surfaces. For 07, we've further refined the shape and structure of the Waroo to make it the best performing 'SLE' kite on the market yet again.
FLUID POCKET PROTECTION
Flat-locked edges on all canopy protection and batten pockets deliver zero line hang-ups. Internally monofilm padded to dampen and protect the interface between the battens and the canopy
COLOR-CODED LEADING EDGE BRIDLE
A practical solution to rigging the kite correctly every time. Each side of the kite has the bridle constructed in a different color zero stretch line.
LE BRIDLE SCUFF PADS
Strategically placed LE scuff pads eliminate bridle contact with leading edge. Whether riding on water, snow or land, the Waroo is built to withstand any punishment you throw its way.
PERFORMANCE PROFILING
Custom shaped from tip to tip, to deliver the best riding experience, with unmatched responsiveness, depower and upwind ability the Waroo Pro is ahead of the curve
TRAILING EDGE BATTENS
Your Waroo is guaranteed never to flutter or flap regardless of the state of depower of the kite. Battens also work in conjunction with Best's exclusive CanopyFraming Technology to yield unmatched responsiveness and stability
HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS
The 2007 Waroo uses only the best available materials. Besides our exclusive use of Cuben Fiber, the Waroo Pro uses Dimension Polyant Dacron, widely regarded as the absolute best, toughest and most expensive on the market. The majority of the canopy is made from Teijin Rip-Stop Polyester, proven to be the most durable and lightest weight available.
SOLID AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION
The cuben fiber leading edge of the Waroo Pro along with Best's exclusive Canopy Framing Technology, harmonized arc, Rigid Strut design, and profile shaper cam battens all come together to form the most solid airframe of any kite for unreal responsiveness and super easy relaunch.
ABC CANOPY PROTECTION
Ultra-durable upper canopy protection andstrategically placed ABC guard cloth protects the canopy from the worst the beach has to offer.
ABC STRUT PROTECTION
ABC cloth with velcro fastening protects the strut ends and keeps the bladders locked in place
RONSTAN PULLEYS
Up-rated Ronstan high load pulleys. Smoother running and minimal maintenance
EASY-PULL VALVE TABS
Redesigned, extended velcro valve tabs, secure the valve stopper with maximum 'hold down'. Faster pack up and set down even with gloved hands
HIGH VOLUME LE DEFLATE VALVE
Larger valves for faster packdown testedand proven to work flawlessly in any environment whether that be in the heat of Northern Brazil or the incredibly harsh weather of wintertime Norway.
SELF-TENSIONING LINE DEFLECTORS
Elastic flying line deflectors prevent your lines from getting wrapped around the strut ends even when you roll your kite in the toughest conditions. Provides additional trailing edge tension during powered up, unhooked loops to eliminate flutter.
