Got my 08 waroo:what a wicked bag!the material they used on the kite and bag is heavy duty and for tough use and sewn very well.i am positively surprised although i thought you couldn't beat the waroo 07.
no barpressure and what a turning speed.the kite is stable and the colours on the bar will not allow any beginner to hook up incorrect.easy for jumping and goes upwind like a porsche.this kite meets everyones needs(beginner,intermediate,advanced and wave).if you don't believe me check out a demo with choice kitesurfing>

Hi Claudia, I am very interested in information of the Waroo kite bag, what other features does it have, I know bags are just bags and they are only as good as the person that’s putting the kite in the bag or that is holding the bag, so say if you rip putting kites in bags then you could use a paper bag and still do it well.. But anyhow.. I am very interested in this bag. I don’t want bells and whistles.. Well a whistle could come in handy I guess, but does the bag have any coffee holders or other useful things like that as part of the bag or will I still need to use my beer hat to hold my coffee...

Material used on the bag is the same as the kite, or is it kite material from last years Waroo’s that’s being used on the bag.. I do wonder how well and long the bag will last out as if its last years kite material being used it might bag out sooner than other brands bags have been known to bag out.


Do you think choice kitesurfing will let me demo the bag, can I bring in my kites in...


Thanks in advance for any useful information.

Claudia did you fly the bag with both shoulder straps or just one?

Tell em all to stick it in their bags & smoke it. (I reckon)

thanks for all the replies regarding the bag.it has an ipod(not build in)feature and it is cushioned so you can rest your head or whatever after a long day on the water.unfortunatly the bag doesn't come in pink or mint green but hey you can't have everything.and to all the guys out there we girls love little details and plenty of room to stuff in hot bikinis and other things.
seriously,i hope you read the rest of my review too.

Yeh OK the bags wicked, anyone else tried the KITE, there is plenty of hype about the HP but nothing on the Waroo.

I've only had about 3-4 sessions on the 11m so far as well as used it for a few lessons.
I am also a Best rep so take that as you may.

The kite is quite simply great! I think the high light is the stupid easy relaunch, coupled with the tuning settings for any taste. I normally ride HP's, but if I lived at a wave spot or just wanted a simple but performance kite all in one I would be riding a waroo more often than not. The HP wins in hangtime and speed/grunt but that's all imo. The other big plus is the thinner leading edge giving fantastic upwind ability imo, but not a the sacrifice of hard relaunching.

Can't wait to try the 13 as it is my most common sized kite that I use.

Do yourself a favour and get a demo ride on one if you can, make sure it is set up for your riding tastes as far as bar pressure and turning speed are concerned as it is quite adaptable and different on each of the settings.
Then after you've come in and had a blast, check out the detail and construction compared to other kites on the market - starting with the leading edge seam!
