Default 3 waroos 3 bridles break in one weekend.

how flippin odd.

bought my 9, 12m's in early 2006 and my 16 about 2 months later.. been riding them ever since w/o a single issue.

then.. on the weekend of New Years we had that great wind that came thru for a few days..

all three of my kites broke their front bridles.. all three were LITTERALLY hanging by a thread and I didnt notice the break until I was wrapping the kite up.

call me LUCKY MF.

especially for the 12 and 9 as I was out in the far channel on New Years day w/ both kites in nuking conditions.

Maybe the inner line in the bridles are stronger than they look .. all my bridles were frayed and only the small inner white line was visible.

I replaced 9 and 16 with heavy duty Q-line .. need to do up the 12 before this weekend..

just odd that all 3 would break at the same time.. Is there an expiration date on them? hahha
