turning speed, stability and assist with faster relaunch. Unlike most other SLE kites the Waroo Pro does not rely on bar mounted pulleys to achieve its excellent turning and quick depower rates.

upwind wingtip to secure the kite during inflation. Starting with the centre strut inflate each section of the kite to the required air pressure. All struts should be inflated until they are free from creases and unyielding to light grip pressure from your hand. If you have the use of a calibrated pressure gauge this should read around 8psi, any more pressure than this in the struts in unnecessary and will not further improve flight performance. For maximum relaunch performance it is important that the struts be inflated correctly. Once all the struts are inflated move onto the leading...

Trouble shooting bladders: The strut bladders on the Waroo Pro are thin to aid flight performance and require to be pumped up to a relatively high PSI, 8.5 PSI is recommended. When reseating the smallest strut bladders, if the bladder and pocket are not completely dry there is potential for the bladder not to completely fill the end of the strut. Please ensure that the strut pocket material and the bladder are completely dry before reinsertion, adding copious amounts of talc to the valve-end of the bladder sill suffice in most cases. If you are concerned that your bladder may not be fully...

Pulling the bar back towards you and stepping backwards will flick the sand off the wlngtip, releasing the kite and allowing it to self launch. Due to having dual rear line 'oh-shlf handles and It's unique bridle layout landing the Waroo Pro Is much easier than with other SLE kites. Two simple methods can be used to land the Waroo Pro, 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 thirty...

Method 2: To land the Waroo Pro in higher winds fly it down to the ground at the edge of the wind window, so that the lower wingtip touches the sand. Clip your leash to the webbing on the 'oh-shit' handle that is now facing upwards on your bar. ie. if you landed the kite on its right wingtip, then clip into the left hand side 'oh-shit' handle. Pull gently on the handle to loosen the retaining Velcro. Reach up and pull the trim strap all the way in to fully depower the kite and then unhook from the bar holding the bar equally in both hands. Quickly check that you hooked correctly into the...

Assisted Landing the Kite When landing your kite with an assistant simply fly the kite to the edge of the window and down to ground level slowly. Have your assistant the take hold of the kite firmly in the middle of the leading edge, and then walk towards your assistant to remove all flying line tension. You can either have you assistant lay the kite down and sand the upper canopy, or have them hold the kite until you are unhooked from the bar and safely able to have them hand the kite over. What type of performance can I expect from my 07 Waroo Pro ? Expect the 'best-performance', the most...

How do I Remove and Install a Bladder? Typically the bladder should last the life of the kite, however unforeseen things happen.

Before you attempt to reinsert the bladder it is essential that the bladder and the LE sleeve are both completely dry. Sprinkling the bladder with copious quantities of 'talc' will make refitting the bladder much Lay the folded bladder on the LE next to the open zip, the bladder should be laid out so that the two valve stems are facing upwards with no twists being visible in the bladder. Carefully taking one end of the bladder attach the end to one of the lines that you previously drew through the LE. Then attach the other end of the bladder to the remaining line. Carefully feed the bladder...

Why does the Waroo Pro have a simpler bridle and no bar mounted pulleys when compared to The Waroo Pro was carefully designed to have reduced depower travel and lighter bar pressure than other SLE kites with fewer bridle pulleys. Extra pulleys at the bar add more bar pressure. For 07 we believe other brands may copy this approach and set up. What is the bridle used for? The bridle supports the flatter shape and reduced leading edge of the Waroo Pro. With specific attachment points It allows greater power from a higher projected area, making it a more efficient kite. In combination with the...
