In general, using the attachment positions closer to the TE of the kite will give you the lightest bar
pressure, reduced power through a kiteloop and the fastest pivoting and turning. Using the attachments
towards the LE of the kite will give you more bar feedback, increased power throughout a kiteloop and a
wider, sweeping turning style.
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-A
is the stock bridle setting.
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. This gives the most ‘crisp’
handling style.
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 while
turning speed remains fast, making this the ideal freestyle/competition setting.
B-C:
This setting minimizes depower travel and delivers more consistent pull, right
across the wind window. The B-C setting is preferred for a rock-steady feel and for milking
the maximum low-wind performance from your ’08 Waroo for heavier riders or for slowing
the kite down to make it easier for beginners and novice riders.
Using the same points for attaching both legs of the ‘V’ bridle, A-A and B-B, increases the effective length
of the rear ‘V’ bridle by one knot position. To compensate for this, attach your rear flying lines one knot
closer to the kite beneath the ‘V’ bridle. Using the A-C option shortens the rear ‘V’ by one knot. To
compensate for this, select one knot further away from the kite beneath the ‘V’ bridle.
Pre-use checks:
Once you have unpacked your kite for the first time, take the time to check that all of the knots are
correctly seated and cinched up wherever there are larksheads connections on the front and rear bridle
components. Pay particular attention to the front bridle section at either end of the pulley-line inserts.
