How do I replace worn bridles on my Waroo? 

 

The Waroo front bridle has user-replaceable heavy duty inserts fitted at two points; within the VP2 bridle 
section (detailed in grey), and also for the upper floating pulleys (detailed in red). Should these become 

worn, simply undo the retaining loops at 
either end and fix in place a replacement 
set. It is recommended that you replace 
both sides, left and right at the same time 
even if only one side is showing wear. 

 

Thread the lines through the pulleys 
according to the diagram shown and 
carefully cinch up the larkshead knots. 
After replacing the VP2 bridle lines, 
always ensure that you have someone to 
assist you in launching the kite. With the 
kite held into the wind by your assistant, 
check the depower action of the front 
bridle by moving the bar up and down.  
 

Do not launch the kite if the depower does not 
function correctly

 

 

Start by fastening the pulley line around 
the front line attachment pigtail (short blue 

section) with a larkshead knot. Then thread the line over and through the top VP2 pulley and then back 
down through the lower pulley and out to wingtip bridle attachment. Always check the correct fitment of 
replacement VP2 lines before flying the kite, and use an assisted launch to enable safe checking of the 
depower system the first time you launch after refitting any bridle sections. 

 

 
To replace the upper floating pulley line, simply un-loop both ends of the line shown in red, thread a new 
line through the pulley and cinch up the retaining knots on each end. 

 

Inflation: 

Best Kiteboarding kites are shipped with a hand operated pump.  We selected these pumps because it is very difficult to 
over inflate the kite with a manual pump. Your Waroo should be inflated to between 10-11PSI. 
 
Best Kiteboarding will not be responsible for any damage that occurs due to the use of a pressure hose/compressor when 
inflating your kite 

 

RED-LINE BAR CONVERSION KIT 2009 

 

The 2009 Red-line bar is the first Best 
Bar to use an equal front and rear line 
calibration, with the bar at the max-
power position the front and back lines 
are of equal length. This will be the 
standard bar calibration for all future 
control bars from Best. 

 

The Red-line Bar and the Kahoona kite 
are the only 2009 products that are 
set-up for this calibration; this means 
that when using a Red-line Bar with a 
Waroo, Nemesis-HP or Guroo kite the 
user must also use the 'Red-Line Bar 
Conversion Kit'. The conversion kit is a 
pair of pigtails that, when added to 
your flying lines, compensate for the 
difference in length between the Red-
line Bar and the 2009 Best Bar. 

 

To use your Red-Line Bar with a 
Guroo, Waroo or Nemesis-HP follow 
the instructions below to extend your 
rear flying lines by adding a conversion 
kit pigtail to each rear flying line.
