Please move to gear reviews if you think this is in the wrong spot Laurie.

I'm looking to see if anyone has compared the Takoon Furia 13m against the 07 Waroo 13m. I have the waroo but am going to sell it and upgrade for the next season. Has anyone ridden one yet or are they still not here. how does it ride and compare to the waroo?

Im looking at Boosting height and length, power/grunt, wind range (including low end performance), bar pressure, etc.

I'm a 105kg intermediate and ride a nobile 666 132x41 and 666 ext 143x48. I can get the waroo out and riding on my big board in about 13-14 kt and hold it up to around 30kt with my smaller 666.

I've heard the low end performance is a bit ordinary. I was thinking of going a nova 2 but I was having trouble riding the demo in around 14-15kt last weekend. Plenty of power through the zone, but i couldnt park it and ride like i could on the waroo. 12 is as big as the nova2 comes. Furia comes in 13m which is what attracts me to it.

Cheers

Mr Float, the waroo is an awesome kite, but ive had a stab at the nova2 and the hangtime it gives is amazing. My problem was that i had to work the 12m the whole time at 14/15kt. My hope is that the Furia gives similar hangtime and the 13m size is attractive.

I've checked out their web page but i'd rather hear unbiased reviews rather than advertising material.
