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.
