Rear: The rear flying line attachment on the Bularoo 07 is comprised of two lines that join to form a 'Y' shape bridle. The upper 'V' section has three knots placed around the centre of the V. Selecting a different knots position on the rear V allows you to fine tune the turning speed and bar pressure of the kite. Selecting the knot to wards the front of the V will give more relaxed turning and higher bar pressure; this is suitable for Wakestyle riding. Selecting the knot towards the back of the V will give increased turning speed and lighter bar pressure, this setting is suitable for...

Deflation and the EZ-pump system: To deflate your EZ-pump equipped kite simply remove the valve caps from each of the struts and give them a gently pinch to release the air. Then remove the LE valve cap to deflate the LE before rolling and packing the kite. Always leave the strut valves open when rolling the kite to let any air, pushed through from the LE, escape from the struts. Refit the LE valve after deflating to ensure you do not contaminate Repairing strut bladders: Should the need arise to remove a strut to repair a puncture the user much first detach the strut bladder from the...

The Bularoo 07 launches much like any other LEI kite; the only difference being that as with any SLE kite the rider must take care where they position the bridle lines prior to launch. Make sure the bridles and flying lines can not get tangled. The Bularoo 07 has line deflectors on the strut ends to assist in this. With the kite inflated correctly and all the flying lines attached to the correct bridle points the rider should place the kite at the edge of the wind. They should then place sand on the Inside of the kite behind the 1st strut towards the 2nd strut, this helps to keep the kite...

Due to having dual rear line 'oh-shit' handles and it's unique bridle layout landing the Bularoo is much easier than with other SLE kites. Two simple methods can be used to land the Bularoo, depending on your personal preference and the wind conditions. Method 1 : This method is suitable for most wind speeds on open beaches, with sufficient free space downwind. Fly your kite to the side of the window leaving the kite at an angle of about ten degrees to the ground, this equates to the lowest wingtip being about 5m from the ground level With a kite at the edge of the window; sheet-out, reach...

Water relaunching the Bularoo 07 With the kite resting on its trailing edge in the water with its weight partly supported by the struts, it is possible that the kite may accidentally 'hot launch'. As soon as the kite powers up you must sheet out the kite, front line load only. The rear lines must not have any tension until the kite is safely in the neutral zone, in this case that would be overhead in the zenith. Reverse launching. When the LE is downwind and away from you, using the rear lines a reverse draft can be created using the trailing edge, which causes the kite to hover up...

you want one kite to ride from the top of the hill, into the water and back out again then the Bularoo is the perfect choice. It's the toughest SLE on the market, with the performance to match our legendary Waroo. Surfing the mountains, the sand and the waves has never been more do-able. With the ability to shut the kite down you can now ride the board more than ever, letting gravity, wind and wave provide the acceleration and using the kite as a primary or supplemental power source. How do I adjust the turning speed and feel of my kite? The Bularoo 07 uses a simple V shaped bridle with...

With the bladder completely withdrawn from the LE, detach the lines from the ends of the bladder and carefully fold the bladder from tips to centre so that the bladder folds up like an 'accordion' on either side of the valve stems. For re-Inserting the bladder It Is Important that both tips are in separate piles/folds, as this allows you to Insert the bladder one side at a time without tangling the 'spare' side of the bladder during re-Insertion. Before you attempt to reinsert the bladder It Is essential that the bladder and the LE sleeve are both completely dry. Rubbing the bladder with...
