Re: Best waroo year
2006 or 2007 is my best guess
I take it back ....it is not a "2006" after looking at it carefully

Re: Best waroo year
It looks like my 2007 Waroo. The 2008 Waroo had multiple back line adjustments labeled A, B, and C, not seen here. The 2010 Waroo is a different shape altogether. When they made it a delta kite for one year.

Yes. 4 line bar. Original bar had a low V split for front lines. I tested some high V bars and it didn't fly as well.

The older 2010 waroo had really dodgy bladders. 2007 / 08 were great kites.intergalactic007 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 6:58 pmIt looks like my 2007 Waroo.

Re: Best waroo year
Agree with you, 2008 had the multiple positions on the back lines , in 2009 they changed all the graphics, in 2010 they redesigned the kite and ruined it.
My first kite was an Utter POS called a Slingshot Link which fortunately I trashed. The 2008 Waroo which replaced was night and day different, great kite.

Re: Best waroo year
Thanks for all the responses guys 
i wanted a lighter wind kite to cruize around for the summer days. For around 15 kn with 70 kg and a fairly big twin tip. I read good stuff about the waroo 2007 but im a bit worried its just to old to be safe and enjoy. Price is 75€ so thats not the problem. My bar is a 2012 naish park bar (4lines). Any one got some tips to find a light wind kite in my situation?

Re: Best waroo year
It's a 2007 the 2007 was harder to relaunch in the bigger sizes 15m+ the 2008 and 2009 were the best of the bunch. Many people still ride those kites they were pretty good. The 2007 flew well and had a bit more power than 2008 but I would not get one because of the relaunch.
