Re: Mystic stealth spreader bar with a seat harness?

I cut the wings down on my Mystic Stealth Freeride bar to fit my Nitrous shorts.
My 2 cents:
1. Cut very little off each wing side. You can always cut more.
2. I used a mini torch lighter to lightly smooth out the cut ends & melt them to the fabric.
It's a great combination - Enjoy

Re: Kite bags.

Oh why can't the designers produce a great backpack? It's not that difficult. It seems like a company will have a good design then tweek it for the new model kite and take a step back on one part or another. All that is really needed is: -A full U zipper. -An outside pocket (+maybe an inside one as ...

Re: Mystic stealth gen 3

Question on compatibility: Specifically the Mystic Stealth Freeride spreader bar WITH DaKine Nitrous shorts as I want to switch to this combination. Per one website selling the spreader bar: "Does not work on harnesses without “Mystic Battle Belt or Dakine Power Belt” style compression belts. IE: no...

Re: Problem with North Navigator bar

Great feedback, thank you all. I have ordered the small/freeride loop. If I still have issues after using the small loop + careful pre-launch technique, I will order the Mystic freeride bar.

Re: Problem with North Navigator bar

Looking at options to deal with this problem. I have the 2021 North Navigator bar and I really like it. Problem is, as explained in this thread, that the chicken loop will sometimes pop off the hook when the kite is powered up at launch. Happened again to me the other day. Option #1: Get rid of the ...

Re: Car roof straps advice

Simple, make your own covers. I cut out two 5" x 3" rectangular sections from an old wetsuit. Use hockey tape to wrap one side of the rectangle to the side to the strap at the base of the buckle. The "open" side of the rectangle should sit under the buckle and protect your paint. That's how I did it...

Rinse/Hang Gear: How do you do it in smaller spaces?

I am looking for creative ways to hang dry my gear. I am moving after 20+ years in a townhouse where I had a private back yard to rinse (fresh water dunk) and hang dry my gear. I will be moving to a townhouse that has no yard space but does have a small second story balcony and a private garage belo...
