All pulleys run on abrasion-resistant woven spectra insert lines. This line is chosen specifically for its
flexibility and abrasion resistance. Due to the use of moving parts, it is recommended that you check the
smooth operation of the pulleys before each flight. The Spectra insert lines will need replacing from time
to time according to how often you ride and in what conditions. We recommend that you consider
changing your pulley insert lines once a season.
Any damage on the main bridle should be replaced immediately.
Rear Line Rigging: A-B-C Custom Tune
The rear flying-line attachments on the Waroo are comprised of two lines that join to form a short ‘V’
shaped bridle. The rear flying lines attach beneath this ‘V’ section to one of the four supplied knots. We
recommend that you start on the bottom knot and work your way up until the find the knot which best suits
your riding style.
The wingtips of the Waroo have three attachment points,
A-B-C
. Moving the rear bridle between the
A-B-
C
attachment points allows you to vary the turning speed, turning circle, depower rate and power delivery
of the kite to suit your preferred riding style. ABC Custom Tune set-up options are detailed below.
A-A:
This setting has the tightest and fastest pivot turning style while delivering
the lightest bar pressure. Riders will find this particularly suited to killing the power
when big wave surfing and for extracting the maximum control for big air and huge
hang time.
A-B:
This setting gives light bar pressure with a turning
feel midway between traction and pivot turning. Turning
speed remains very fast on this setting. The
A-B
setting
gives the most precise handling and crisp bar feedback.
We recommend this as the stock setting for any rider new
to the kite.
A-C:
This is the mid-position set-up. A-C splits the ‘V’
bridle between the front-most and rear-most attachment
points. A-C offers an excellent combination of turning
speed, depower and bar feedback that is particularly suited to unhooked riding and
for extracting maximum control in high winds. Bar pressure is similar to the Yarga
in this set-up; turning speed remains fast, making this the ideal
freestyle/competition setting.
B-C:
(not shown). Recommended for riders who want very heavy bar pressure and
the slowest turning kite; this setting is useful for old school no-whip wakestyle
tricks.
Swapping the rear V lines across the
A-B-C
connection points increases and
decreases the effective length of the rear lines.
A-A
increases the rear line length by one knot. To compensate, attach one knot
closer to the kite.
A-B
is the recommended stock setting. No need to use a different knot for this
position.
A-C
shortens the rear line length by one knot. To compensate, attach the rear
lines one knot further away from the kite.
