Have you considered creating a new one using a 3D printer?

While we are at it...
Anyone got a late model Compstick bar 55cm. I like the ones with the raised aluminium section in the middle.

using this rubbish will leave you in a world of pain. my slingshot bar broke just off center letting one rear line go causing kite to loop snapping all 3 remaning lines watched kite blowing away untill swell got between us. paddling back in few km was fine till I hit the break line as I could not paddle into waves this big. got absolutely smashed!! favorite surfboard in 5 pieces. kite torn to shreds. apart from the kitemares and expence I watched 4m waves from south hit 30knot winds ne from the beach. that was the worst part. go get decent bar bro. spend to save, maby your life.

I dont know how people can enjoy riding SS bars with the depower under the bar. Its impossible to pull it on when you have load on the kite. They make good kites but the depower set up is rubbish.

Easy... head down wind, drift the kite, pull your strap and re adjust.
its a clean simple design which eliminates any mechanical problems.

What if your overpowered in gusty onshore conditions close to the beach with no room to go downwind...I had a few scares when I had my SS kites. I think above the bar set ups have pulley for that reason. To half the effort needed to pull on depower when taking load off the kite isnt possible.
