Do a search on the forum and the net, tons of reviews on it so you can hear it from all points of view.

It is however my favourite kite to date, responsive and has big wind range. I have had the 9m out in 38kts without feeling scary and I can get going on the 16m in 8kts on a big board. Strong solid construction (not one has come back for warranty claim in 2007 touchwood). Near 100% depower, easy as to relaunch, never inverted on me. I had the Crossbow first, then the Waroo won me over. Well, it did until it started inverting far too often and on one occasion the kite depower rope snapped in the 4th month leaving me hanging in the air hanging on my life lol! No warranty replacement so I decided to sell it lol). Went onto the Assault this season and no other kites have won me over yet. Heavier bar pressure than its brother Havoc but rides more stable. It's easier to learn on than the Havoc as you can feel the kite more. The Havoc is designed with wakestyle in mind but the Assault is still my favourite kite to date! Give us a bell if you are in Brissy and I'll let you try both of them.

when in rome....

No mate, never got one. I asked you twice and you said no stock, I emailed Joe and he said he will send one to me for like $40 which I agreed to pay but it never arrived. Shortly after I even asked the man himself (Mr Best) at one of the roadshows and he told me they are totally out at the time. Just my luck I suppose when it was out of stock I suppose. I am not blaming anyone as I am sure you, Joe or Mr Best would have sorted me out if you guys did have one. I had to put a $65 Sonic loop in when I sold it. It was sold to one of Mike's customer so he can confirm. Nevermind, its all water under the bridge. All part of the learning curve.

I'm sure I gave you a new chicken loop for your trashed and neglected bar too!!

But, back to the topic - if you are into wakestyle, surely the mig or havoc would be a better option than the assault?

Nice to know you to max! All the best dude...

Richrelative, Joe is the Australian Rep and Coordinator for Best.
All 'sellers' go through him for stock from OZ or overseas distribution.

And to date I heave not heard of any warranty claim going unanswered.

I personally have had 3 bladders and 1 kite replacement in 3 years - not a bad track record I think. And, to add, the kite was questionable due to rider error (not rpeairing a small cut) which lead to a impact tear.
He got a brand new kite!

Back to the poor bugger's question!!!!

If you are looking at Liquid Force, I would go for a 07 mig or check out the new 08 havoc or mig or even hifi for wakestyle.
