hi there does any body own or used a 07 best waroo and if you do or have could u share your thoughts with me cheers

Hi Buddy, I had a 07 11m Waroo, it was a nice all round, strong kite.
There are better performing kites out there from that year that turn faster, have a more direct feel, jump higher, etc. However as an all round kite it was pretty good. Agree with what is said about the bar above.

This season I set out to demo quite a few kites before I purchased.
Found a few I liked Ozone Edge/Sport, Slingshot REV, 08 Waroo. I ended up purchasing a 9m and 13m 2008 Waroos.

The 2008 Waroos are a very different kite, much better than the 07s.

If you are just starting out or looking for a 1st or 2nd kite, i think you really can't go wrong with the 07 Waroo. If you have a bit more experience under your belt, there is better performing kites out there.

Cheers, Carl.

Go for an 08, awesome kite. Great wind range.

Not if you want a kite that lasts mate. Mine exploded in mid air, no warranty My luck or quality?

Sounds a little weird as we have had only 2 warranties in australia so far. Just take back to your dealer and grab another. No stress. Any probs let me know.

i know i'm gonna recieve hate from the haters, but is'nt a best waroo just a slingshot link..with a redundant bar..?

Mate - I bought a second hand 13m 2007 Best Waroo after taking my lessons and am very happy so far. I also flew a 13m Fone Bandit, and an Fone Tribal 2 during lessons. For the stage I was at (ie raw noob) it flew just as nice as those two (although the bandit seemed a little sweeter to fly I must admit)

I have had no problems self launching it using the different techniques out there. Its easy to water relaunch as long as theres 10-12 kts or so. I have given it a shellaking at times too trying to fly it in too little wind and smashing onto beach/water when it falls out of sky. The beach I often use has quite a few shells on it too but its held up well so far. Valves all seal good and the bag is nice cause its big enough and the kite slips in so easy.

It depowers heaps when you need it,and trim straps are ok to use, although I did prefer the cleat on the Fone Bandit. Safety attaches on harness side of the bar in centre and the quick release system is easy to use and put back together. Its nice and stable at the zenith and only falls out of the sky if you fly it outside of its wind range It has plenty of grunt for me (92kg) and turns quick enough for my current experience level.

I would certainly buy Best again and can recommend it as being very suitable for beginners. I also like the fact that you can replace the components of the bridle system individually if required as they wear although havent had to do that yet. Simple 4 line set up too. Overall - very happy with it and as an extra bonus I only paid $750 for a 6 month old kite. Hope this helps.

buy goons 9.. ul love it until u become very proficient in riding ability.

after all this discussion i still think you should buy my 9 metre

What year is it, does it come with the bar and bag etc and how much you selling it for? Im 92kg, what wind range could I expect out of this bad boy?

whats the reason for sale?

harry testies is a nutsack.

im selling it because i recently got sponsored and have no more use of it. its a red 07 9metre with bar and lines with a brand new chicken rope on it. if ur 92kg's you would probably use it in windier days where your 12 would be a bit too big.
