i was out on my 12m waroo today, and just as i was riding along, the front bridle line(where the pulley runs over the line) had just suddenly snapped, causing the kite to powerloop. i later discovered that it was the pulleys that were seized up causing wear on that part of the bridle. i had crc'd the pulleys the night before, but it must have clogged up with sand as it was sitting on the beach. does anybody have any advice on what to do about this?, should i replace the pulleys with better ones?, or get a stronger type of line for the bridle?

I recently talked to Perrin @ Kiteworks about this very problem.

He has seen this problem on all the BOW/SLE style kites and has good fixes sorted, click the link to the left and give him a call.

Cheers,
