| After
another very windy flight test with the new BEST Waroo Pro
- Kitesurf Instructor Colin Phillips tells us his initial
thoughts!
Conditions >
30 - 40 Knots
Size
Tested > Best Waroo
Pro 9m >
Handling >
Despite the windy conditions - we headed out on the BEST
Waroo Pro with a tentative hand on the safety leash, the
kite was launched and coped well with the sometimes 20knot
gusts!
The Waroo Pro just sits there and even after I let go of
the bar - it just goes to the edge of the Wind Window and
just sits on the wingtip - probably not a fair test as anything
will fly in this wind, but pleasantly surprised with its
positive feel through the bar without having too much bar
pressure.
The kite whips about the sky - but thats expected in these
types of winds.
Jumping >
Well if you want a jump machine - this is the kite! It was
the highest and furthest I have ever jumped. I have been
out in these conditions before but I have never jumped so
high or long.
Build Quality >
The build quality is up there with the rest!
Control Bar System
> The control bar is comfortable
with a nice feel allowing you to know where the kite is
all of the time. I would however have preferred a snap shackle
at both ends on the safety leash as opposed to the wrist
leash that is supplied.
Overall >
Would I buy one? Well probably if not just for the monster
jumps!
