Because I believe they are superior in flight from my experience, especially when maxed out and beyond.
Cool, yeh if I can adjust the Y great.
I'd buy the kite designers bar if I was in the market. Pretty spot on for crashing in waves I reckon.
One thing i hate about some bars which doesnt seem to be mentioned yet is having multiple ropes and safety line passing through the bar. Probably ive got smaller hands than most which doesnt help but i like to control the kite one handed with rope passing between my fingers most of the time. Especially surfing. Uncoated rope rubs all the skin off the inside of my fingers.
Ozone bar is better than the above custom job in this respect. Rrd bar was good too. But good to see a bit of debate and people coming up with custom options.
toppleover - where did you find the quick release dogleg shackles - Ive seen then on Cahrinha QR from a while back - but cant find them at any marine/boat shop.
Also how does the bar go with no depower and just long bar throw - how does it handle whrn overpowered ?
Cheers
Yep, old Cab QR,s is where the pins come from.
I have kited plenty of times with mates on the same size kites & they have had to depower & I've been fine just using the long throw.
Upgraded to soft bar ends now
I have finished the bar design and have had riders testing it for a month or so. I will upload the details and features soon. Under $400AUD
Built from years of feedback dealing with different kiters wants.
Y and V line split in the 1 bar
Long and Short throw in the one bar
450kg lines
Drill a tiny hole in the centre of the bar and put a stainless pin in it (if 2 depower lines)
Then you wont have to untwist the centre lines..
Hi great thread any one know where I csn get one of these or something similar for where the front lines v and the flag out can run through one way cheers
