When unpacking your kite for the first time, correctly lay out 
the front bridle as shown in the image on the left. For 
maximum performance and correct depower function, it is 
important that the front bridle is free from twists and knots. 

When correctly laid out, the VP2 section of your front bridle 
should look exactly like the image on the left. Any twists in the 
bridle can be removed by counter-twisting the lines where they 
connect to the front flying lines. See last page for more details. 

 

 

Custom Tune Options: 

Rig and ride it your way.

 

With our direct rear 

bridle setup, you can rig your ‘08 Waroo for any blend of turning 
speed, depower and bar pressure.   

From unhooked riding to freestyle to big wave surfing; we are sure 
you will find a setup option that suits you perfectly, no matter where 
or how you prefer to ride.   

 

Canopy Framing Technology: 

Crashing your kite is a fact of life. 

The ‘08 Waroo is the only high-performance kite designed with 
Canopy Framing Technology - the ultimate reinforcement system. 
The entire perimeter of each canopy panel on the ‘08 Waroo is 
supported with a continuously-curved reinforcement zone, isolating 
the canopy from impact loads and delivering durability based on 
sound engineering.   

 

CFT is a unique approach to the tasks of distributing shock loads and effective transfer of TE tension 
across the canopy of your kite. Whenever you crash your kite, the impact load generated by the rapid 
deceleration of the airframe as it hits the water is distributed across the much lighter rip stop canopy. In 
high-speed crashes, there is a huge amount of energy to be dissipated across the kite and this energy will 
naturally find the weakest point of the kite, with drastic consequences. 

With CFT, a lightweight but incredibly strong ‘buffer zone’ is stitched into the canopy sections and 
between the airframe and canopy joins. Due to the unique continuously curved shape of CFT, impact 
energy is harmlessly circulated around the kite until completely dissipated. 

Load Flex LE Seam: 

For 2008, the load flex seam receives 

additional mark-cloth internal reinforcement along with additional 
stitch reinforcement. Our unique three-layer webbing-taped LE seam 
guarantees the strongest LE on any inflatable kite. There is simply no 
stronger or cleaner seam construction. 

A full-length, webbing-tape reinforcement ensures that the new 
Waroo is the toughest kite you will ever fly.
