Extreme Kites Kiteboarding

Had just enough wind yesterday to put up the 11.5m Best Kahoona and play around with it. Winds were super light but the kite flew really nice and relaunched easy even in the lightest of winds. The 11.5 seemed to have alot of grunt for it's size. There is some wind forecasted for tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to try it on the water.

more...

even more...

I think I am most appreciative of the fact that the flying penis logo is smaller and made a little obscured by the rest of the graphics on the logo.

'Bout time.

These kites have been getting alot of compliments on the graphics.

What are the major differences b/t this kite and the waroo? Which one is better? I was pretty much set on the 9M waroo but now interested in Kahoona too. Let me know what kite is better.

Graphics are definitely getting better on the Best kites (hard to get worse from their starting point of a few years back ... lol).

I would like to hear a comparison between the two as well.
I think "better" is most likely going to depend on your riding style as to which one you like better.

I personally feel like the waroo is a great all around kite, especially for high boosting, kite loops,..... but just an adequate (not great) kite in waves. I am still happy with it, don't get me wrong. No kite can do everything... that's a marketing slogan.
Just my opinion.
I would guess this kite is aimed more at waves, but I am sort of guessing.

If I had to choose just one 9m kite for everything, the Waroo would definitely still be at the top of my list. It's a great all around kite, especially with cost and customer support factored in.
