Contra Bow 14 VS Waroo 15
 

Hey guys,

I need some infos

I'm looking for a light wind kite

07 Contra Bow 14 VS 07 Waroo 15 ..... (160/165 lbs)

Does anybody know wich one has the best low end ?

agreed, but keep in mind that at your wieght both will give you the same lowend...

a heavier rider would reap the benifit of the contra, but you woult notice the difference

contra turns ssssllllloooowwwweeerrr!!!

Funny!! I just switched from Cabs to Royals. I rode Cabs since I learned to kite, and I was just ready for a change. Roy is very happy about this too!! LOL

Waroo
 

I have flown both the 07 Contra 14 and the Waroo 15. The Contra has a better low end than the 15 Waroo IMO. Problem is the Contra is much slower, the bar pressure sucks, and the Contra is easily twice the price of a Waroo 15. On top of that at your weight you could easily ride the 15 Waroo in 10 knots with the right board. I would say the contra probably has a 2 knot advantage in the low end. But really do you want to go out and ride in like 8 knots? LOL I would rather have a kite that cost half the price and is faster that I will enjoy more once the wind pick up to like 12 or 13.

raul.. what was the kite you let me ride a couple weeks ago?.. think it was your 17m..

I have been on contra 14m w/ nobile 666 board @170lbs Rode upwind in just 10 mph powered ok. Cabrinha kites changed kite boarding no doubt. Waroos are great kites for various reasons, they do not have the low end of a Cab. Bar pressue or feed back from any kite is always riders choice. The best (no pun intended ) effiecent kite I rode was 11m Ozone instint. I know r windy season is coming, you can probably score a deal on a big kite now. But no kite out there re launches as well as a Cabrinha.
