Brand new Waroo 5m to trade for a 15+m PL [SOLD]

bigkahuna - 17-4-2011 at 11:30 AM

My wife has a brand new (never flown) 08 Best Waroo 5m SLE (blue, white and black trim, silver lettering). She wanted a 7m but they were out of stock so I got the 5m instead and she's never flown it. It's a super pretty kite, I've got an entire quiver of Best Bularoos and Waroos and they are very responsive yet friendly kites in the air. Would make a great kite for landboarding or kitesurfing. Kite only. If anyone has a clean Peter Lynn (preferably V, VII, or Vortex) 15m or larger in excellent condition they'd like to trade, please drop me a line and let's talk.

Big K,

Whats your price if you were to sell the 5m? My youngest is breaking into the activity....................

Let me ask my wife, it's her kite after all... ;)

understand and again nice to see you on the forum again..............................Phreerider has an arc or two he is trying to move, give him a shout!

bigkahuna - 20-4-2011 at 06:26 AM

I'm waiting for photos of the two he's trying to get rid of. Both need some work / repair so I'm going to have to think about it.

I'll also try and take some photos of the Waroo 5m so you have an idea what it looks like. Wish I was small enough to fly a 5m, they sure are easy to pump up. ;)

Is your wife ready to let the 5m go? If so a pic or 3 would be appreciated..................................

bigkahuna - 22-4-2011 at 09:37 AM

I'll take and post some photos this weekend. I still need to discuss it with her (been kinda busy these last few days). I'm guessing she'll want around $325 + shipping.

me to you sent.............................

Here's some photos of the kite:













With the exception of some grains of sand (leftover from the day we first bought it and pumped it up) and some dust on the bag (from sitting in the garage) it's just like the day we bought it. I also took a photo of the pigtails so you can see it's never been flown. Jeesh, I wish my 20m were this easy to pump up! ;)

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, you can use just about any 4 line bar with this kite. My wife uses a Peter Lynn bar with her Bularoos, no problem. Same set up as a standard Peter Lynn as well. If you use a Best bar (or other SLE bar) then you get the additional center line release which also works great.

The Waroo is -sold- to Tridude pending payment.
