The Waroo 2007 rear bridle

Version française     back to home page

In 2007 Best Kiteboarding deilers the second version of the excellent bow kite Waroo. Two important new features:
- Little fibreglass batten to stabilize the shape
- A rear bridle with 2 puleys. This more sophisticated bridle give more rotating speed

A little problem, easy to fix.

This is the normal setup of the bridle	And here is the issue: it can tangle with the knot of the pulley.

With this zoom, one can see how it can happen. Onece the lines are under tension, it stays like that. You can still steert the kite but it is unbalanced. Shaking the bar does not help. the only way to solve it is to put the kaite on the water and relaunch it, and it does not always work.

The esay way to fix it:

Just return the way the pulley is attched to the kite. One way is to untie the knot and tie again the other side. anther way is to dismount the bridle and then return the attach. Here is the second way:

Untie the knot at the end of the bridle	Take out the bridle from the first pulley
Then from the second	Remove the pulley
BEFORE AFTER	Tie again the knot and the pulley

Maintenant si le brin du palan traine sur le sable, il en s'accroche plus à l'attache de la poulie au moment ou les lignes se mettent en tension.

And now the good question:

Could it happen now from the inside with the knot on the other side?

I think it is much less probable, it is protected by the leadging edge.

In any case warn the person who helps to watch the state of the rear bridle when launching the kite
