 Thu Nov 15, 07 6:01 pm 2006 Waroo bridle upgrade |
 |
|
Not that any 2006 kites are still in commision but if you got them remember to replace the stock bridle with the $20 best upgrade or make your own. The brildes snap where the front line pulleys run. I was looking for wear and tear on the lines - mine had none - but sadly the core snapped after a 3hr session the other day.
One minute you are a golden god ripping down the line - the next you are dead in the water drifting toward a pod of 30 surfers. Not much love there - though I didn't manage to hog tie anyone. |

Crazy Gman.....
where were you at? Glad to hear you came out alright..., was it your 12? Were those surfers agro?
I don't think Blake's or Jackie's have been upgraded yet. Good thing she never uses the 12m.....!
