’08 Waroo: Performance features and kite set up 
 

When unpacking your ’08 Waroo for the first time, we recommend that you take some time to familiarize 
yourself with the product and the design features that make your kite unique. This will help you in setting 
the kite up correctly the first time and ensuring you gain the maximum potential from its high-performance 
design.  

VP2:

 

The new LE bridle and depower system delivers more than just 

increased depower from reduced bar travel. A dual stage short-throw 
pulley system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and 
the center of the LE, giving a more rigid and stable kite that delivers 
less pitching, ensuring that stability remains unaffected by depower. 
VP2 offers the reduced bar-throw benefits and increased turning rate 
of a 2:1 rear line pulley system, with no back line pulleys and no 
increased bar pressure. 

The VP2 bridle system automatically varies the distribution of front line load between the wingtips and LE 
of the ‘08 Waroo. As you depower your kite, VP2 ensures that the entire LE of the kite is loaded under 
line tension in the optimum way at all times. VP2 also ensures that the stability of your kite is unaffected 
by depower; as you depower the kite, VP2 automatically adjusts the angle of attack and line load. VP2 
delivers more depower from reduced bar travel and makes the ‘08 Waroo easier to relaunch than any 
SLE we have ever made.
