Hey stuc,

The 9mtr waroo would prob be the better size, but can also depend what style of riding you intend to use it for. I am 100kg and the absolute bottom end for the 7 for me is approx 22knots. This kite has great bottom end. I feel the range of the 9mtr for you would be from 15-30knots, and the 7mtr would be 18-35knts. If you ride a surf board, than maybe the 7mtr would be the correct choice. The smaller the faster.

Both the 7 and 9 are the sweet sizes in the range, they have great stability and turn quick. The 11 and 13 are a little slower than expected. There are some key tuning tips being discovered for these larger sizes, and there is mention of a bridle mod considered to help enhance its potential. overall they are a bomb proof kite that relaunches quick, has great lift and now comes in a one pump option. Check in with your local Best dealers, Choice Kitesurfing in Perth and Gspot Extreme sports in Geraldton. It would be best to try and demo the kite before you make your choice on size.

All the best with it.

The Waroo is not aimed at beginners, but the nature of the kite basically suits a huge range of riders, and allows for quick and easy progression.

The new delta shape is where the main difference lies this year, and some people havent liked the change. In response to this, Best will be releasing a new kite over the next month or 2, that will mimic the same type of performance, but better as the traditional SLE Waroo.
