I am using 40 cm custom length trimlite bars and happily ride them on a 13m contra and twin tip or foiling. I normally ride drifters 5m to 11m for foiling. With both set ups the very short bars are fine for me. I also aggressively kite loop on a TT, again no problem turning the kites, I am -38 pounds
My point was simply, that you wrote it happens when you fishpole it.
With a normal bar you never have to fishpole, so you wont get it stuck around the trim so easily, probably not at all, as the rear lines never comes close to the trim with a normal bar, whereas they wrap around and might get stuck when fishpoling on a supershort bar.
But if you want the short bar, you have to either remove the trim fully, or make it less "catching" removing the ball etc, as knotwindy wrote.
No reason to get a new minimalistic bar, as it will also be able to catch when fishpoling 90 degrees like you do, unless it has been stripped like you can do on your own 40 cm.
