Hi everyone, hoping you can help me out with a bit of a dilema here.
I'm going to buy a new 9m in the next week or two and can't seem to decide between the 08 Waroo or the SS Rev. All things being equal I would have gone with the Rev, however it seems I can get a Waroo about $500 cheaper (maybe more) than the Rev and I want to know if it would be worth the diff (I suspect not). I'll break it down...

Pro:
1. One-pump (I REALLY wanted that but I suppose with a 9m its not as important to me as with larger kites)
2. Great kite with c-kite feel
3. Better low end

Con:
1. About $500 more
2. Waroo has higher top-end (from what I understand) which might be more useful to me as I also have an 11m.

I hear the Rev is a very good kite, but the price diff has me in agony...

Please Help!

Had exactly the same dilemma a few months ago.
Took both out for a demo, loved both, ended up buying the 08 Waroo.

If they were the same price it would have been a tough decision.
Love the SS Rev bar setup.
Both are great kites, and feel quite similar.

Forget about the 07 Waroo as the 08 is a very different kite, and sooooo much better in every way.
No way will the REV have a $500 better resale than the 08 Waroo

Cheers, Carl.

any of you guys tryed the ion 2?
wondering how it compared to the waroo 08?

Let me really stuff you up, you want light bar pressure and a great kite? test fly the new Ozone speacially the edge ... these kites are the extreme in light bar pressure, and they perform. There are 3 styles the light designed for surf, the sport designed for the newstyle and freeride and the edge the speed, boost and hangtime machine. All are 1 pump this year.... and no I don't sell them I just want to mess with your head. Try 1 you will know what I mean!!

i preferred the rev more than an ion but the ion flew really well, the relaunch and bar put me off it though. [also more expensive]
