Mine is 2015 and is not wood, I don't think, but it is pretty sturdy.

Broken neck surgery ...I've only been kiteboarding once since then but that is a location thing really. You've only been kiteboarding once since 8 years ago ? Meant to write Snowboarding. ..fixed it.

Broken neck surgery when I was 50 about 8 years ago.. surgeon fused C6, C5, C4, C3 plus a titanium plate and 8 screws. That leaves me with movement between C3 and C2 only really. Doctors told me to never skateboard, kiteboard, mountain bike, snowboard or do any overhead work again. Took about three ...

The old rule was logical and I understood why. But with bridled kites configured the way most of them have been for the last 4-5 years, I've used about half of the old rule (six meters) on a few of my bars and it has gotten the job done.

But as stated above a 20" Slingshot bar will do fine also.
