Same for me it's great you can do both!
I've left the original metal ring in order to keep the fixed option but I also have a Majestic waist harness with hook dedicated for boosting on TT.
Same reason I never rode rope slider more than once. Slips during tacks..airsail wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:53 pmI tried a rope slider for a couple of foiling sessions but I found it much harder to to complete roll and heel toe tacks. The slider would move in the middle of the transition and screw up my timing. Is this normal and something I will get used to or are rope sliders not great for tacks, I don’t see racers using them.

I've had to do a google search to figure out this systemJanus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:46 amI use a seat and a sliding hook on a rope.. it's not in the list.. (so I can share kites with my son on a waist and fixed hook)
I love to ride toeside, so much more freedom of body movement with a slider.
You get used to the loose feeling and the sliding feeling.
I now have re-attached a bungee so the sliding hook points up when unhooked (so I can hook in and out with my wing as well) it dempens the sliding a bit to so you don't get the sudden slide.. I don't even feel its a sliding hook anymore..
It's a Dynabar sliding hook system, best made ever. its a pitty its gone.
