Tried the 9 and the 7, 2010 waroo recently. To be honest I found the 9 a bit slow after 2 seasons with the 08 and 09 nemes

. However, had the chance to compare the 7m waroo with a 2009 7m nemesis and I gotta say I was impressed. I am just over 6ft 2in and bend the scales at 100kgs. In 25knots I could only just maintain upwind with the nemesis, but had no trouble with the waroo. The little beast is lightning fast and super grunty. Flying them is very different and unlike the nemesis it enjoyed being sheeted in. I only use kites for surfing(too old for tricks), but would definitely rate the 7m waroo as a weappon of chioce in high winds and big swell

. No back stall, effortless relauch and very quick.
