Re: Why is wingfoiling so popular?

Wingsurfing is like the SUP craze. Or owning a treadmill. Everyone heads out at the beginning of summer and says "Hey can I rent a kite? I want to try it."

Re: Control Bar-Stick Only

I was kinda hoping the Switch/Ventum/Lacuna/Spleene/Ikon/Takoon style barstick was available somewhere as a spare part, but so far I couldn't find it... :( https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2503/9576/products/01_f2a5f497-bf28-46a7-897e-935dcac5c65b_1200x.png?v=1652194920 For sure, that's a nice stick

Re: Control Bar-Stick Only

Also, is the 50-55cm truly 55cm when the line flipper thingies are set to the widest stance?

Re: Control Bar-Stick Only

North Navigator is available bar only, it's a good bar Agree, an excellent bar but I don't see it listed on their site (spare parts). I don't think brands want to offer their bars (stick only) I believe they make a huge profit on complete bars, perhaps more than what is made on a kite and offering ...
