Ok, in the last 2 days ive had a Waroo bridal snap, and a 5th line snap on me :( Waroo bridal was where the pulley sits on the front lines... (Lucky i was standing on the beach swapping boards...)
5th line was where the bar mainly sits...

so how many of you have had this happen on a waroo? (yeah i know ive got like the 3rd oldest one in Australia but hey..)

and does anyone have any tips on stopping it from breaking? im using 3mm Spectra... least i think its 3mm

iv replced my bridles on my Switch so dont stress Rhys, but some dont ride as often now caus of having family commitments or as hard as others, eh kurto

dunno about that paulio, got 5hrs on saturday and 2 hours yesterday so my commitment is in the right zone still!
BTW anyone know a good marriage dispute contact (only joking)

Tried to call you but you're still screening my calls. I miss those good old times in the dunes at the pin

See you this arvo at the mudflats??

washed the bar each time after use, and kept the sand and stuff out of it where possible you might get more life out of it!

Washing the bar won't stop the bridle on the kite from snapping where it wore a weak spot... lool Has been great wind of late though hey Glad yall are getting out [}:)]

oh, and just a warning... everyone check ur frontbridals... i knew mine was looking a little tired but it was fine when i started that day...
for $10 its worth making up a new one... well, i think it was like $10 for the 9m.

cos if it goes when ur on the water... your gonna be in real SH1T

yeah im using doubled over 3mm spectra inside a plastic tube for my c-loop after the old one went on a kiteloop lol.... looks better i reckon

Washing the bar will help the 5th line.

Keeping the pulleys free from sand and dirt, lubing them, and also keeping the lines clean on the bridle will also help the bridle line wear problem.

I think it's fair to say I have clocked 2 to 3 times the hours on any single size waroo in Bris and not had a problem yet with the above.
I have however got some 2mm spectra in the car incase it does look worn
one day when I'm setting it up (and due to the same issue reported on int'l forums), or also for people with bridled kites in an emergency need at the beach.
