Waroo
Description:
The
’08 Waroo is the perfect kite for any rider and any discipline.
It turns faster, jumps higher, loops tighter, hangs longer and now
chases waves better than ever before. The ’08 Waroo will outperform
both your expectations and the competition. It
is not just the best value for the money out there; it is simply the
best Dacron/Rip-Stop SLE kite on the market.
Completely
redesigned to make it even better than before, the ’08 Waroo will
allow you to progress further than you ever imagined, no matter which
style of riding you prefer. The product of three years of continuous
development, every aspect of the ’08 Waroo has been reworked in
response to customer feedback to deliver the perfect do-anything,
ride-anywhere kite, ensuring that it will be the best selling SLE
kite on the market for the third year running.
The
‘08 Waroo’s super easy handling and big surf ability has been
enhanced by our new VP2 front bridle system. The VP2 short-throw
front pulley system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips
and the center of the LE, giving a more stable kite that can be
ridden deeper into the wind window. With increased depower, VP2 gives
maximum wind range from reduced bar travel and increases turning
response without any increase in back line pressure.
VP2
delivers huge improvements in handling, stability and turning speed
for the ‘08 Waroo, enabling us to simplify the back line attachment
set-up, giving you the most direct bar connection to your kite. For
2008 we have added multiple rear line configurations giving you total
control of turning speed, power delivery and depower. Now you can
dial-in your new Waroo perfectly for wherever and however you ride.
Freestyle
riders will love the easy big-air, rock steady unhooked handling,
fast kite-looping and light bar pressure of the ’08 Waroo. Newly
revised canopy profiling and shaping make the ‘08 Waroo the perfect
choice for riders looking to maximise their riding progression. After
just one ride we are sure you will agree, it is the best Waroo we
have ever made.
Big
wave surfers will die for the ‘08 Waroo’s surf-tough build
quality and absolute reliability, there is no better Dacron and
Rip-Stop kite to rely on when you are cutting back on the face of an
overhead wave or charging down the line. Improved Canopy Framing
Technology, an all new Load Flex LE seam and our laser cut Solid
Airframe Construction guarantee that the Waroo is the toughest kite
you have ever ridden. Nothing else comes close.
Beginners
looking for an easy handling kite with light bar pressure, amazing
stability, maximum depower and the easiest relaunch in its class need
look no further than the ’08 Waroo. Our new VP2 bridle and wingtip
shaping endows the ’08 Waroo with lightening fast relaunch and
improves upon its legendary stability. Custom Tune options allow even
a total novice to dial in their preferred handling style for maximum
enjoyment in all riding conditions.
The
’08 Waroo comes loaded with more must-have performance features
than ever before, and all with the outstanding build quality that you
have come to expect from Best Kiteboarding. The
‘08 Waroo is unquestionably the kite with best value for the money
you will ever own. No other kite offers the blend of versatility,
performance, superb handling, and outstanding build quality. And,
none come close to this price point. The ’08 Waroo is simply head
and shoulders above the competition, but do not take our word for it
- one ride will tell you all you need to know.
’08
Waroo:
Do anything, ride everywhere.
2008
Waroo: Performance Features.
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.
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.
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 SLE you will ever ride.
Load
Flex LE seam: For
2008 the Load flex seam receives mark cloth internal reinforcement
along with additional stitch reinforcement. Our unique three layer
webbing-taped LE seam ensures the strongest LE on any inflatable
kite. There is simply no stronger or cleaner seam construction.
Custom
Tune Options: 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.
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.
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.
Woven
Spectra Serviceable Pulley Lines: 4mm,
woven and abrasion-resistant pulley lines; easily replaceable for
minimum down time.
Ronstan™
High Load Pulleys:
Precision Ronstan tm
pulleys
provide friction-free depower action, and combined with our new VP2
bridle design they deliver unbelievable depower and wind range for
riding in all conditions.
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.
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.
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. When we can not find what we need to make the best
kites in the world then we develop and design it ourselves, like the
precision parts for the EZ-pump™ inflation system.
