woops, forgot to ask which shop is that in UK who sell them??

Yeah my wipika bar slips when doing a deadman and depowers the kite when I need it to stay powered most. It goes from a deadman to pelican man (head first into the water..arghhh) real fast.

How positive is the locking at any position. With the wipika system with the balck pu tube I find I need to keep some pressure twiting the bar to keep it locked in a position. This is nice because I can depower really easy by just relaxing the twist in a gust, but if I try to do a no handed jump it ...

Front line leashes work fine. It does not matter how long your line are for the leash to work properly. What matters is the leash must be half the wingspan of your kite when laid out flat. That way when you let go of the bar by unshackling the the combined length of the front leader and the leash wi...

Is is a nice setup for use with booties in cold water. I normally use sandals but those didn't ...

The safety release strap between the two levers didn't work so well for ...

At fist I didn't like it because I was not used to it and didn't have it tuned correctly for the right amount of friction. But once I got it set I grew to really like over the past 6-8 months and now fly with only the pu covered depower loop and no fixed harness line with no reverse launch bridles ....

Does this bar have a auto-lock feature like the 2001 wipikas with the pu tubing? It is hard to see from the pictures. I think I saw somewhere that feature would be avialible on the 2002 wipika bars.
