No, the waroo relaunches on it's own (or not at all)... Basically you just sit there and wait for it to fix itself.
 (kidding, but only a little)

Well that is good news, Amber needs a kite that relaunches relatively effortlessly.

to relaunch a bow (under most conditions) just grab an outside line and pull.. and keep pulling and keep pulling.. its odd and it sometimes takes a little while but the wingtip will eventually catch and the kite will swing around and zoooom you are off..
I HIGHLY recommend waist deep water relaunch drills w/ her.. walk her out from shore and have her purposely set the kite down and relaunch.. of course with higher winds, the kite basically relaunches. it will also often relauch completely downwind and tho this looks scary and gives you a slight pull, it will not rip you out of the water once you learn to sheet out as the kite is coming up. about a week ago i had my 16 land trailing edge down in deep water and i would not relaunch for at least 10 minutes.. the entire canopy was underwater with only the leading edge out.. i started slowing swiming away from the kite and the tension eventually helped the kite rise (sloooooowly) off the water and enough canvas became exposed.. suddenly it just filled and relaunched .. you do not have to go towards the kite to lay it on its back.. not with a bow under *most* conditions..

Cool, just bought an 07 55mm Best bar from Ocean Extreme. Not a cheap piece of gear, but at least she will have the bar that belongs with that kite...

relaunching is very very simple.. every single time i've relaunched i just turned the bar and it pops up and relaunches.

I've been waiting for my 2007 55cm bar from Best for over 1 month now. I just called them and they told me 2 more weeks.
 I'm tempted to fly my 16m Waroo on a standard 55cm bar. I know it will not depower as much. Does anyone have experience flying a 16m or 12m Waroo on a standard bar?

Jake.. you will be fine on standard bar.. just dont push the wind range as much as you would if you had full depower capability..
if you are comfortable flying a c kite w/ its limited depower you will be absolutely fine. err on the side of caution. might take some tuning tho to get it dialed. be safe.
