No microloop option in 2013 bar!
Bought several older ones and lots of parts to keep me going for few more years until they add it again!

click to enlarge.
unfortunately in German.
But holds down the bar, so you have your hands free while your bar is still powered up!

I believe the decision for a 10m size is simply a financial strategy decision knowing that they sell mostly 9&11m edge sizes. I'm sure the 10 will be welcomed by many.

Oi mate,
Epic has them too (or correctly said I have it on my Epic bar).
Maybe the owner will decide one day to add it optional too. That would be great!
We are still waiting to see the deadman he is performing using the "stopper ball".
Cheers

Most important is the Microloop for what I do.
A stopper will only get you to a semi good level of airstyle.
Maybe Ozone one day ads it as add on to their bar, since then they would have a killer airstyle package!
Let's hope!
Anyway, can someone jump the 19 please?
I use a Switch bar with the edge and I've been considering drilling the 2 holes in the bar to fit the loop. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to engineer a hook as well. Perhaps with aluminum at a machine shop? The bar is already so similar to north.
I've often wondered why you're not on the Edge. Better height, hang time, lower bar pressure, and it's just so easy to fly. I'll second that you call ozone with sponsor inquiry then start making mods as you wish. No love from north!

SURF 8 & 12 for the waves. RENEGADE 6.5 and 9 for all around kiting. And some times I use my son's JUNIOR PRO 4 when it blows 45+ for the waves.
Just try the EPICKITES and you will see for yourself.
