I have tied a small piece of flying line to the hinge of the case. The end of that line has a knot. I have also tied a larger piece of old flying line to my impact vest and that end has loop. Normally I attach the camera to that line and than store it away under the impact vest when I am not filming...

Is this a completely new board or the Monarch with an alternative graphic design?

Can´t you just buy some pigtails? They are just a couple of Euros.

Happend to me only with that Dash (also 9m). My Pivots, Slashs and Boxer flew out of the box with the same bar in perfect manner.

You could also tie in another knot on the back lines and try it out. I preferred to use the additional pigtails which stay on the bridle so I can use the bar for other Kites without having to change the knots every time.

Back lines still too long. I had this on my 2nd Gen. Dash. Although my bar was properly trimmed, all lines the same length. Maybe Naish made a mistake measuring the back pigtail length. I added approx. 7cm pigtails to the front lines and the kite flies perfectly.

Slash 1m bigger than Pivot is what I would recommend and did for my own quiver. I had 11/8/6 Pivots, now I run 11/8 Pivot and 7/5 Slash (73 kg)

If you want to have similar power and wind range I would take the same sizes for the Pivot. The Pivots are powerful but so are the Switchblades (what I heard)

That´s for Germany/Europe: Mid July is what I got as feedback and that is similar to last year when it was at the beginning of August. I think Naish started last year to bring in the new season already in the European summer rather than in early Autumn like in the past.

Ok thanks. I am not as concerned with repairs but more of the day to day functionality of having to deal with 3 more valves every time you pump or deflate. It takes probably around 20 seconds to close those valves on three struts...As mentioned before you gain back this incredible loss of valuable ...
