Why don't you offer different shipping options?
33€ shipping to Portugal? (I imagine the same to many of the other European countries). That's the only reason why I haven't bought one yet.
69€ for the Dynabar XT 2013 and 33€ for the shipping?

321 kiteboarding sells them ; they would be less expensive than
ordering it from Europe .
Tell them i sent you ; they will charge Ya ($ 1) more .
I have the Dynabar V7 XT, from them ; it has a real wide spreader-pad
and is quite comfortable, (doesn't hurt my ribs). I use it with a DaKine harness
that is one size too small , because the V7 is a bit longer in the belt-size, than
a stock spreader from other companies.

Hey guys,
I've got the Dynabar and replaced Dyneema. Now I am experiencing Dyneema stretching OR my Bowline knot is not good (
http://www.animatedknots.com/bowline).
Can someone advice is the rope really stretching, do I need to buy a pre-stretched (?) or which knot to use?
Thanks
D.

It's not the Dyneema stretching, it's your knot shifting as it tightens up under load.

That stretch will happen. Just undo 1 of the knots and shorten the line. Not sure what the ideal knot to use is. I just use a figure eight knot. Also found the thinner Dyneema wears so much less. (Included a pic). Just make sure to periodically check the little plastic flange that protects the rope in the hole.

Thanks for the reply. Yep, it might be the combination of both, stretch + knot moving.
Either way, the plastic flange is gone. I guess wear and tear. Sanded off sharp edges so good to go.

\While on a recent trip once the rope had stretched I tied some rope around the excess on the back of the Dynabar to keep it tight rather than undo and redo the knot, it seems to have worked brilliantly.
