Bar is trimless, its just a rope for release testing. Inserts for back lines are stainless steel tubes.

How did you lock the inserts to the bar?

Made epoxy plugs in airex. When bar was finished i drilled holes trough them and inserted tubes using epoxy. I dont think tt its a good idea, but time Will tell. 2 other bars Will be made using another bar end types. It is a kind of experiment.

I have it but just O shit leash attachment point for front lines. Without leash. I never used it and for HF power size it is not needed. Kite is perfectly safe without. You can always crash it and made it unrestartable in water.

For snowkiting you need it.

I am not afraid of killing power in strong wind with flat water. But what about 1.5-2 m waves. If i drop peak and waves Will eat it do i need flag out not to be pulled under water. The only circumstanse i use flag out release with inflatable is dropping the kite in a wave.
Sorry for offtopic
