I don't even really notice the BEST bashing. For me, money does play a part in the kites I purchase, but it is not the main factor at all. I flew the Waroos for the last year and a half not because they were inexpensive, but because I thought it wsa the best kite I could find for the riding I did. I tried several other brand of kites, all of which were more expensive, before I went to the Waroo.

One thing you will notice though is that most of th etime people who are bashing other kites are insecure about what they are riding, or have a hidden agenda. The people that have good products want you to ride their gear and compare with other kites before buying. They don't spend time bashing other kites, but talking about the good qualities of there own gear.


I was on Crossbows last year, switched after finding the bar tension on the Bularoos to be far far far less. It is no about the money, it is about the ride.

Just because someone has waroos doesn't mean they're a kook or a jackass. This is an attitude that I've seen more than once on here and frankly it bothers me that such a tightknit(and financially well endowed) group should have such an opinion.



There are a lot of dudes on this forum who ride Best (including myself) - sure some one may bust my balls once in a long while - but they are just joking with me. And to be honest - some kiter is always going to bust your balls over something or another - you just have to take it lightly.

I think the answer is to walk softly and carry an expensive kite.

yeah, but does the bularoo have light bar pressure when unhooked? Thats the real question. My kites have very light bar pressure unhooked, barely even feel it. Slingshot rocks

Unhooked bar pressure is mysterious and challenging regardless of kite brand.

I'm not sure how I should feel about this whole topic...where is that 8-ball when I need emotional advice?

Any fool who limits himself or herself to only one product and talks shit about other products is simply stupid and closed minded. I feel sorry for these unfortunate sapps thinking their way is the only way. The real reality is that all things, products, kites are good, it just comes down to personal preference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats It!
