just rode over near north skyway from 2pm - 7pm on the new 16m waroo. It's awesome, I love it. I measured 7-10mph FROM THE SANDBAR with my wind meter. I went out on the 16m waroo and was doing big long floaty jumps. I love this thing.

Then it picked up to 15 (solid 15, measured from the sandbar) and I tried a kiteloop. I forgot I was only on a 45cm bar and the loop was big, fast and powerful. It took me by surprise. When I came around I think I was probably 10 feet up and accelerating down head first. Basically I got worked and did not try it again because it hurt like hell. ops: :lol:

I guess these flat kites DO generate a lot of looping power! Going to need to figure that out.

Ouch.

Seems like Waroos are invading North Skyway. I can think of 8 waroo riders right off the top of my head. Haven't seen many slingshot fuels lately.
