Hey I know this guy on ebay that is selling these kites. He sells them all the time new. Great price and great guy to deal with. Also if anyone is looking for some Yarga he has some smoking deals for brand news one. Let me know if you are looking for one of these kites if you dont want to go through ebay.

Crap! I almost bought it but decided I really need a 9m, not a 12m.

[shogun1204]

Let me ask if he has any, or can get you one Tom.

[tomstock]

Forget it, I bought it anyway! Time to sell more stuff.

[shogun1204]

Well i sent hima email, maybe he will send you a 9 instead if you want one.

[tomstock]

can't decide... think I'll say with the 12. I don't ride a 9 very often, might as well go with what I will need most. He did say he'd send me one in a different color so I went with yellow and grey instead of red and grey.

I'm thinking the 16m if it's under 20, and 12m if it's 20+. Should be good with that combo. I typically ride a 13m C kite up to 30mph before going to a 9m. Hopefully I can get that much top end from this kite without it getting sketchy on me.

Thanks Shogun for the help.

ya tom.. you will get tons more use out of your 12 than a 9..

Ive put my 9 up maybe 3 times since last spring..
my 12.. more times than I can count.

a 9 / 12 / 16 combo is really a great 3 kite quiver

I expect a 9m 2006 will be dropping even more in the next month or two...

Whoohoo they just shipped it priority mail, Yellow and Grey, just what I wanted. It'll look sweet with my green 16m.

Tom, I recommend flying only one kite at a time. In theory it might sound good to rig both at once for exceptional low wind power (and it would look "purdy") but please resist temptation for safety purposes.

What! I can't stack waroos?!

What! I can't stack waroos?!

stacking waroos increases the chance of inversion, but does make them less dangerous due to the non-inverted kite counteracting the pull of the inverted one

btw, i simple way to fix the inversion problem on a single waroo is to attach a small 2m trainer to the leading edge, this creates just enough lift on the LE to stop it from folding down

Or inflating to burst pressure!
