My waroos work well for the big floaty stuff... i don't find my kite too faster turnin at all. I have the 11m 2009. Gotta admit my favourite oldskool machine is my 21.5m best bfk... in 20 knots you are lit quite nicely.. oldskool style.
i was born in one of the ultimate places for wind sports... but perhaps not for many of the other requirements on your list... although plenty of waves for surfing
Gonna check out SE Queensland in Jan 2011.... visiting a friend there... he lives there now and rates it highly... quite keen on meeting up with anyone in the area at that time (Brissy, Goldie, Noosa, 1770 etc)
My current best kite for unhooking is my 11m Fuel 2005 but if you miss a pass then there is no depower so you get smashed on suicide setting. Hopefully attaching a 5th line will go some way to solving this problem. Interesting to see how the 2008 Yarga performs. I have the 2005 17m but haven't ridde...
