How many hours did you kite on it? Strong uv location? I'm from germany so no strong uv impact. I had roughly 50 sessions last year. My main spot is by the lake and has no good wind yield so my frequency of use is low compared to someone from the sea. What year model is your kite? Earlier kites had...

It a...

I have not seen any reviews on the 2024 model, and wond...
anyone using the freeride spreader bar with these partly metal chickenloop and the question is if the CL's quickrelease really releases from the spreaderbar which is true deal killer if it does not release well?
