I think they lost the plot with bars after 2011. Is that actually an IDS bar? Were the mini-fifth lines bars called that? I thought the double front reride (remember that phrase?) was the thing. Which brings us back to the issues with the fashion statement that is single front safety.... I have had ...

Horrendous bar pressure and a wonky AF safety system would be my assessment vs. a modern Switchblade. Wounded Warrior takes kite gear in on donation. Dude seriously? Apart from the kite's habit to invert and hover, it never jammed and if your main line snapped you could still fly on the safety line...

I both agree and disagree with jump about the low kite :lol: I found with the kite high, it'd lift me off the board (especially in gusts or "over powered") which meant a...

Axis MV 125, Double Agent etc

You don't need volume in a TT after all, and at first you'll just be getting up onto and riding the board on the surface. And you won't have the finesse to use a small kite that would leave you under powered on a TT so...

Volume is irrelevant.

Thanks to my actual local shop, I traded in my Trimlite bars and went back to trim straps. Those cleats are terrible.

I've watching this for a while. I have a lot of experience kiting and have tried many different things over the years. My role allows me to tinker with the gear enough to see if I like a new concept or not. 10 years ago, I used a grinder to cut off the hook on my spreader bar. I made a larks head w...
