Gabe thanks for the demo. The new rig is pretty nice too. To anyone that wants to know the waroo is a awsome kite that does everything they said it would do. Fly's like a mofo.

Ditto what Dewey said. I was out on the Waroo for an hour, and it took me about 5 minutes to get used to. Not much of a learning curve given that it was the first bow kite I've flown.

That said, I was thinking I liked Josh's Vegas a little better, because it turns on the wingtip. But I read this morning that the Waroo can be tuned to turn either way. It was very cool how fast it got going in the air even in the holes, so little drag.

Hey guys,
For those of you planning to be at 3rd this afternoon for the Best demo it will start around 3pm and it will be at the upper launch area (and not at the lower launch as initially thought).
See you there.

Thanks Evan and Best crews!!

Waroo was so much fun. Today at 3rd was perfect day to try a bow kite. I was pretty powered on 9m when a guy with at least 30-40lb more was on the same size. I really liked Waroo, it made my day of riding. Not much bar pressure, easy to fly, for sure, I liked it very much. =D>

I've gotta admit, I was pretty impressed with the Waroo. I rode the 9m for about an hour on Saturday at Sherman in some pretty up & down wind, and had an absolute blast on it.

I'm not sure I'm ready to replace my Rhino quiver with Waroos, but I'm seriously thinking of getting a 9m Waroo for the coast, for days when I just want a change of pace, and for snowkiting.

Thanks for the demo Gabe.

Crissy was great yesterday. Big swell and yappy surfers at the South Tower.
Hope to see ya and the Best crew there today. Might be the 1ST time that someone other than Anthony is doing handle pass tricks out side the Gate.
