Waroo: Performance features and kite set up 
 

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

VP2 Front Bridle Pulley System: 

Best Kiteboarding's VP2 bridle system provides a 2:1 depower / bar travel ratio. This 
allows the Waroo to provide full depower from reduced bar travel. Unlike older SLE 
designs that rely on bar mounted pulleys there is no increased bar pressure associated 
with the VP2 design. 

VP2 is unique in that in addition to giving twice as much depower it also optimizes load 

distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE for a more rigid and stable kite, ensuring that 
AOA changes have no effect on the stability of the kite. 

The upper canopy section of the VP2 bridle highlighted in 

RED

 left includes an additional pulley that improves the 

relaunchability of the Waroo by allowing the kite to slide 
under its bridle during relaunch. 

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. 

ABC Custom Tune Options:   

ABC custom tune gives

 

you the control to rig your kite to suit your personal riding style 

preference and wind conditions.   

With riders of all skill levels choosing the Waroo as their go-to freeride kite, we have 
increased the range of adjustability provided by the ABC Custom Tune feature this 
season at both ends of the scale.  

Canopy Framing Technology:  

Crashing your kite is a fact of life. The Waroo is the only freeride kite designed with the 
ultimate reinforcement system, Canopy Framing Technology.  The entire perimeter of 
each canopy panel on the Waroo is supported with a continuously-curved reinforcement
