One thing also, The Royal flies pretty differently than the Contra. Not good or bad, just different.
When I tried the 14m Royal, I noticed that it had zero, no bar pressure whatsoever. which is a different steering from the contra's direct bar pressure |
im pretty happy with my 15m 08 waroo, very stable for self lauching/landing
|
I have a 15 m 07 waroo-it does not have the low end power of my 14 contra nor the high end. I am looking for a kite that can be self launched from a boat or beach on its wingtip, great low end , good range and faster turning than than my 06 contra. I dont mind the bar pressure of my 06 contra . Need to find out more about the royal and contra.
|
out of curiousity, have you tried laying your 15 waroo ontop of your 14m contra, im curious how the sizing is, those contras always look huge....
|
The contra's run a touch bigger for their size, the 12m is more like a 13 or 14m and the 14m contra is more like a 15 or 16m . But the amazing part is that they also have better top end range as well
|
Raul-how much faster is the turning speed of the new contra? Thats one thing I really want in my new kite. I use my 14 06 contra 95% of the time in the wind we get here so the new kite I want to be similar in terms of versatility. I assume the contra sits beautifully on its wingtip for self launch. My 06 I am selling while it still will hold some value but I really like that kite.
|
how quickly you chime in Raul :)
btw, the 08 15m waroo is way faster then the 07, its atleast as fast as the 07 13m, maybe a tad more depending on what setting you use... |
new contra is alot faster turning than the previous version, the royal prolly turns faster still tho'. I might like the royal if I was a lightweight kiter

14m Era
You can't beat the low end on the 14M Era. The high end is very good as well. I don't like to self launch because of the rear line bridle which has been changed on the 2007+ model. Backside is also pretty sketchy for a self launch in my opinion. I like a nice clear beach with a lot of clean sand. You are welcome to demo the Era if you see me out with it.
