I'm having a heck of a time tracking down a set of bridles for my new secondhand 7m 2010 Waroo

Does anyone out there in kiterland have any idea of where I can get them from?

I was looking for the whole front set from the leading edge down as well as the rear set, but at this stage I'd settle for the sections which the pulleys and rings run along.

on my 09 waroo i made my own bridle replacements for it. Only the moving parts tho. got all the needed parts from kitepower. :)

i know of a few place in nz here that will make bridals to order, surely there is somewhere in australia?

I was going to buy new bridles from best in the states but for US$75 shipping i think not.

Thanks for the advice matix

It's kind of dissapointing though that I can't get genuine parts for a kite that is only one season old, especially with everyone harping on about supporting local business; where's the support from local business??

Yes I know it's only a relatively small puchase, but isn't this the sort of service we're supposed to be protecting by buying local?

If it comes down to it; does anyone know where in Perth I can some suitable line and someone to show me how to do a decent job making my own?

Hi Oceanfire,

Drop into the shop, we can supply you with all the bits you need to get a bridle up and happening again. Although we sell the best gear, we don't sell Best stuff. We do carry high quality replacement bridle line and Dyneema off the roll that we can make into almost anything for any kite.

We recently made up replacement bridles for an old Royal kite. Good as new!

We're open all day Saturday 10am to 5pm.

I tried to support the local dealer but wasn't keen on helping me, so I went else where. :)

Most stores should be able to replace or repair a bridle without the need for an original factory part. It is often difficult to stock a full range of things like bridles which can be different lengths for each size. Most can just be made from scratch.

Good kites don't need bridals. Flying wobbly messes of poo do need bridals.

Well I've been successful with bladder repairs (selft taught) and canopy repairs, thanks to advice from the good peeps on here and Mr Marshall.
So I guess learning a bit of 'linework' will only add to the feathers in my cap

I do prefer genuine gear in the first instance, but if I can't get hold of it, I'll pop on in to AKS for the best stuff

Thanks for the replies guys
