Kite
The Allround/Freeride 4-line delta kite by Best
Designers Goals
The Bridles and Twister tech (built into the leading edge) make the frame of the kite more stable and give directer control. Best kites are available both with and without a one-pump system. COmapred to the 2009 Waroo the 2010 model was improved in durability, re-launch capability , more depower and a quicker reaction to control-bar input.

Best Waroo 9m
Test conditions
Wind: 4/5 bft 17/21 knots
Conclusion:
So, is the Waroo a real allrounder? No, not if you are looking for a freeride kite which is also good for freestyle and allows you to hit the waves. The reaction time of the Waroo is too slow to perform in the waves, and the turning circle too large. If you are, however looking for a kite with good hang-time, the Waroo might be for you. The 9M kite can be utilized as an 11M, it has a lot of power and will give a light rider quite a challenge if the wind is stronger than 18 Knots. Be aware that in overpowered conditions the depower range increases, but this offers you some fun; Kite high in the wind-window, pull the par towards you and you will get some Big Air, straight up!
The Waroo is a durable kite and it is clear that a lot of attention was paid to the stitches and the finish.
Basics
Safety system
Little grip on the safety button
Windrange
A bow-kite... More wind, more barpressure and a lengthening of the depower range.
Kite re-launch
Kite stability
Total depower
Great, which is as expected from a bow-kite
Oldskool
Lift
Gradual power build-up which leads to a long Hang-time.
