I rode my 16m Waroo today in wind where other kiters were using 16m Waroo and classic LEI 17m. In the end, there were only two 16m Waroos left flying and I was...

For flat kite, you normally don't need a safety leash in most conditions as you can use the chicken loop as the safety leash. However, in way overpowered...

George, The Waroo 16m is a great kite! This is the first 16m+ kite that I ever like jumping with. I have used many other 16m+ kites but mainly for crusing...
