VP2
The new ’08 Waroo LE bridle and depower system deliver more than just increased depower from reduced bar travel. A captive short-throw front pulley system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE, giving a more rigid and stable kite that delivers less pitching movement, ensuring maximum stability regardless of depower. VP2 makes the Waroo ‘08 the most stable SLE on the market. |
|
ABC CUSTOM TUNE
Rig and ride it your way. With our direct rear bridle setup you can rig your ‘08 Waroo for any blend of turning speed, depower and bar pressure. From unhooked riding to freestyle to big wave surfing, we are sure you will find a setup option that suits you perfectly, no matter where or how you prefer to ride. |
|
MODERATE ASPECT RATIO
For 2008 the Waroo has an all new moderate aspect ratio design. A reworked projected area and larger wingtip control surfaces deliver a more responsive kite for freestyle riding and unhooked surfing. With a smaller turning circle and smoother power delivery throughout a kiteloop the ’08 Waroo is the kite you have been waiting for to advance your riding. |
|
CANOPY FRAMING TECHNOLOGY
Crashing your kite is a fact of life. The ’08 Waroo is the only freeride kite designed with Canopy Framing Technology, the ultimate reinforcement system. The entire perimeter of each canopy panel on the ’08 Waroo is supported with a continuous curved reinforcement zone, isolating the canopy from impact loads and improving on the legendary build quality of the ‘07 Waroo. |
|
SOLID AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION
New for 2008, all LE strut joints are laser shaped and cut, then reinforced with Kevlar tape. There is no better way to connect the leading edge to the struts. Our construction gives the stiffest and lightest airframe available. This helps make the ’08 Waroo the fastest turning and most predictable Dacron and Ripstop SLE you will ever ride. |
|
LOAD FLEX LE SEAM
For ’08, the load flex seam receives additional mark cloth internal reinforcement along with additional stitch reinforcement. Our unique three-layer webbing taped LE seam delivers the strongest LE on any inflatable kite. There is simply no stronger or cleaner seam construction. |
|
STANDARD INFLATION SYSTEM
For riders who value simplicity over convenience and simply want the best bang for their buck, the ‘08 Waroo still comes with a standard inflation system. |
|
ABC CANOPY PROTECTION
ABC cloth is used for ultra-durable upper canopy protection. Strategically placed ABC guard cloth protects the canopy and the leach line from the worst the beach has to offer. |
|
BRIDLE DEFLECTORS
Flying line deflectors prevent your lines from getting wrapped around the strut ends, even when you roll your kite in the toughest conditions. |
|
DACRON WING TIP PANELS
Multi-layer Dacron wingtip panels distribute turning forces for unmatched responsiveness and enable self launching without risk of damage. Increased surface area at the wingtips gives greater turning movement and our curved wingtip profile improves aerodynamics and eliminates vortex-induced drag. |
|
TEIJIN RIP-STOP CANOPY
If you want to cut corners you can buy cheaper fabric, but you certainly can not use anything better. We only use Teijen Rip-Stop for our canopy material, as there is no better Rip-Stop cloth available. |
|
RONSTAN HIGH LOAD PULLEYS
Precision Ronstan pulleys provide friction-free depower action. Combined with our new VP2 bridle design, they deliver unbelievable depower and wind range. |
|
CFT REINFORCED TRAILING EDGE
Like all kites in our ‘08 range, the ’08 Waroo benefits from our exclusive CFT reinforced trailing edge, which provides razor sharp turning response and unbelievable handling. CFT gives the Waroo unmatched durability, even if you leave your ’08 Waroo lying on the beach for days or weeks on end. |
|
TE BATTENS
Precision tolerance fibreglass battens support the trailing edge canopy section, smoothing the airflow over the trailing edge. Improved aerodynamics ensures faster turning and silent manoeuvring, while our smooth pocketed mark-cloth construction delivers outrageous durability. |
|
KEVLAR ELBOWS
To protect the leading edge of the ’08 Waroo during self launch and landing we wrap all the corners in abrasion resistant Kevlar reinforced fabric for maximum protection. |
|
ABC STRUT PROTECTION
ABC guard cloth pockets with enlarged Velcro fastenings protect the strut ends from abrasion and keeps the bladders locked in place. |
|
SURF TOUGH BUILD QUALITY
Our unique Canopy Framing Technology, LE Load Flex seam, fully taped canopy and Solid Airframe Construction come together to deliver the most proven and trusted kite construction package in the industry. There is simply no kite built better. |
|
HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS
The ’08 Waroo uses only the best available materials and construction. We exclusively use Teijen Ripstop for the canopy and Dimensional Polyant Dacron for the Airframe. |
