Hi,

Owned a 12m waroo now for the past 6 months. Over the past month and ever since ive been doing back rolls the kite seems to handle completely different now. The lines haven't stretched although the kite seems very oversheeted all of the time and the wrong shape.

wonderd if anyone else had experienced the same problems, hoping it isnt the fabric itself stretching as afterall it was a cheap kite.

cheers

You've obviously check left and right but have you compared front and rear? Other possibility is bridle lines stretching?

Haven't had that problem, but just check the front lines on the CL side of things where it goes through the strap type material. Check that it hasn't let go inside of the loop in the strap, allowing the line to slide from one side to the other and become uneven.

I had that prob. The stitching on the strap to the line was secure enough and let go. The kite would oversheet and stall. Temp fix was to tie the line to the strap. Got a replacement and all okay now.
