The carabiner slider will solve all my problems with my sliding ring ! I wish it was out now ! All my bars are needing replacement.
Nice. What is your setup? Kind of been thinking about making a monsterbar with parts again, but now I think that this will take care of it too...tbh I'm not sure if I would ever actually make the bar, but now I don't have to.

Did they actually make more of the Limited Edition Pivots compared to the stock colors?
It seems that the stock colors are out of stock mostly everywhere, while the Limited Edition is available in many places.
That kind of shows that you are not getting such a exclusive product after all.
I myself find it disappointing indeed, after forking out a lot of coin just to have the exclusive product.

My understanding (from the ad and interview in iksurfmag) is, that the new bar will come complete with all three connection alternatives: normal loop, mini loop, slider carabiner. So you do not have to buy them separately. Let´s see, that would be nice.

But it is the coolest looking kite!!! I generally don't care too much about the colors...but if I can have a skull on my kite, then I want a skull on my kite.

I believe so, that or it is incredibly unpopular. I think the blue looks a lot better and would probably be easier to resell

Just tried out my new foil for the first time today ! This thing is awesome. Naish finally stepped up their game in the foil market ! I like it better than my Armstrong and all the other foils i’ve had in the past. It’s so stable I can almost walk on it but still turns fast.

Nice. Which one is this? I am trying to decide on what to get. It also does look killer.

I wanted the 1250 wing but no one had it but now im glad I got this instead. Its got such an aggressive angle of attack that it has a ton of lift and a lower stall speed than my Armstrong CF1200 and HS 1250. The 320 stab is really stable going forward but turns really aggressive too. My Armstrongs fuselage being 60cm instead of 64cm might play a part in the stability. I usually only complete about 50% of my foot switches but today I only fell 3 times.
