Has anyone else had trouble buying from Best off the web? Seems they want to use retailers only in OZ . I waited 3 months for a Waroo and with their cruddy web site/email communication it was pretty frustrating. Who's a good reputable non-sharkish dealer here?

Well I learnt on Best kites and they've been robust, trouble free and reliable . And I reckon all the "good" kites are a rip -off - I guess they have to pay for all those ads somehow. I really wanted to stay loyal to Best but they're frustrating to communicate with. Looks like I will get a Griffin.

Youll find that BEST do prefer customers to deal through local dealers. There are plenty starting to show up in Australia. If you have no luck PM me and Ill steer you in the right direction.

Prices on The Waroos are a lot lower than the others. Dont get mixed up with the Waroo Pro as these kites are the same as most the other brands but the 2007 Waroo kicks ass. These are RRP in $AU

Kite only.

9- $1049
11- $1249
13- $1349

These kites are available in stores in 1-2 weeks.

These kites rock.

not really that cheap, a few hundred dollars, sure we all want to save a bit of cash but not enough to jump up and down about. Whats the difference between the pro and standard model?
I have heard positive reviews about the Waroo, just dont base your purchase on price alone fellas.

definately dont base your choice on dollars, base it on the feel and the performance of the gear. Everyone who has flown or seen the Waroo 2007 has commented on how good the kite is constructed, how good it flies and performs, and also how good the service is in Australia. Then theres the price. Not a bad package if you ask me. Each to their own tho but definately consider it.

Today's the 13th Oct(oooh it's Friday the 13th!)
I've had conflicting reports that Waroos will be here in 2 weeks and 3 weeks which makes the later date Fri 3rd Nov.
I've personally lost faith in Best's promises , and doubt they'll be here by then, but I hope I'm wrong and will report back if I am.

I think you you will just have to be patiant. Australia are one of the first countries to land the new Waroo as they have given us priority. The release that there was even a standard Waroo was only last week so I think we are doing pretty well to get the kites so soon. If you order online, there will be a good chance that the wait will be around Christmas. Support your local dealers, buy within Australia.

Cheers
Joe
