To be fair I don't see any difference from the previous bar, unless they had minor changes to quick release. New shape of release handle with a pronounce upper ridge for more positive grip and now rectangular vs oval New swivel with what looks to utilize (and what it needs) a bearing and it now has...

Another kite that you may want to check out is Eleveight's RS. It's a medium/high aspect kite that's adjustable for both freeride/style and wave. I've flown it on the stock setting which to me feels much like the Dice with a hint of Evo. When I put it on the wave setting, the kite has a nice pivotal...

Would this change anything for kitesurfers? I tried to read the press release, but couldn't find much of substance. I think it changes the fear of losing products (and a brand) that serves for many as the best option for kiting. Dakine has a strong following for their harnesses, especially their se...

I’m confused by the Cab/NP branding on some products and not sure who is really making the harnesses, so maybe this puts Cab-Dakine in the harness business without NP. JR286 is the equipment manufacture that Dakine (Marquee) uses for their products. JR286 also works with Nike/Air Jordan, so they're...

I've been researching this awhile, and building boards awhile. Carbon is really stiff, but its brittle, resists impacts poorly, and once cracked will break apart. S-Glass is stiff too, but has much better tensile strength and hence less brittle and better impact resistance. E- glass is a significan...
