[jyka]

Pls show us a video of the release and show kite when activated.

Any plans for making a bar without any trim just a longer than usual bar throw?

Aye Aye, Sir!
I hope to make it until the end of this week.
Anything else?
BTW: What do you expect to see beside a QR that opens by pushing away from your body, a bar sliding on one frontline towards the kite and a kite that flies to the surface of the water without any power? I mean if you tell me exactly what you would like to see I can try to show that in the video. I am asking since it sounds a little bit strange to me that you may think I have not tested the safety system many times before we put the bar system to the open market. In 2019 a push-away QR with single-frontline-safety-system ist standard and so works the Pintxo bar too.

I am sorry, but this is no option for me.
If I sell a bar system to other kiteboarders I would like to be sure that they have a 100% working safety-system, especially when I do not know for which kites they are going to use my bar.
The Pintxo bar system has a depower range of 60 cm.
That is 15cm more than most other bars have on the market.
In combination with the Maverick kite it works fantastic. If you let the bar go the kite nearly has no power on the lines left.
But anyway I would never dispense with a safety system with single-frontline-safety.

Hi Rainer,
It would still have the safety system just without the internal trim.

Cheers, Frederik

What do you dislike at the internal trim?

because it is new

looks good

my concern would be line wrap around bar ends, given no floaties

Few things struck me on the website:
- professional graphics
- simple is beautiful
- clean and very proportional kite line 5/7/9/12
- very open and "zero-BS" communication. No bragging, no superlatives, very direct, down to earth presentation of products.
- bar idea is great. The chickenloop is what it should be for freeride foil (unlike Core "Pro Foil"). The trimmer is also promising

I'd suggest to adjust kite LE in future version so when looking at it from the side the outline would appeared curved back, but not flat. It adds so much to relaunchability and that's what you want to make sure you have for lightwind kites

Just ahead of big boys in many aspects. Awesome!
