surprised people are actually delaying other purchases to see what is going on with the Waroo and the Waroo bar? Are memories really that short? Does no one recall waiting months for a hellfish and they never delivered? Of course Best has got the new best thing but they just can't show it to you yet...

I second H20 Audio.com. I have had it for 6 months w/ NO issues. Works great, protects the ipod and is strong able to withstand crashes.

Been flying a CB 16 since AUgust, only kite I have flown since I received it, flown it from 12-30 mph. Borrowed a friend's 16 rhino while he wanted to try mine - 2 tacks and I was off the water. The timing is very different - if you think it is bad going from C to bow, it is worse the other way arou...

Warning to you now, it is difficult to have a mixed quiver of CB's and old kites. I tried the same - replace one of my kites with a bow and got the 16 CB. The riding style is a little bit different in terms of how you trim the kite and load up for jumps - you will figure it out pretty quickly, but i...

I shelled out about $1500 for my CB 16 and am currently in the process of trying to unload all my other kites. For sale cheap: X2 20 X2 16 X2 14 Wip 2002 AB 12 (8.4) [this is a great kite, probably will not part with it for the market price] Cabrinha BT Nitro 10 2004 I only need one other kite - the...

Absolutely. I feel safer and more comfortable with a 16 CB up in 30 mph winds than I would a 10 meter traditional kite. You know you are not going to get lofted or dragged, which is not always the case even with a small kite. Plus, when you pull in and jump, it is insane.

Unlikely they would need to file for b/k - I doubt they have much outstanding debt assuming they paid back all the Hellfish deposits. It is probably just a question of when Alex wants to stop writing checks. Given his bravado, I would think there is no way he would walk away from this business witho...

I have the 16 CB and have owned the X4 16, Cab 19.5 Contra, 16 Wip AB (11.8 [why is an emoticon showing up}, X2 20 & 14, and about 10 other kites. I can confirm the wind range is insane. I have been riding for about 5 years and am a very confident rider, so I am not afraid to go out in unfavorable c...

I put an extra knot about 2 inches above third knot on a CB 16. I found with this that in lighter winds - 13-19, this helped keep power in the kite all the time. You could ride with the bar at the stopper ball w/o losing complete power, probably still had 25% or so. In higher winds - 20-25 mph using...

I had the 16 CB out in 23 mph, gusting to about 30 (post hurricane winds). At the upper end of that, it was a little uncomfortable to pull in because the power was so intense. However, at 23-25, it worked fine - the jumps were insane, and there was still enough depower to ride comfortably in waves w...
