Oh thats right I remember now... that bar isn't a spinner bar and the leash is in your face.
That bar design is from 2003-2004. No 0-shit handles, not a spinner bar, a cleat for a stopper, a true suicide leash (called that for a reason) etc.
If you can pick up an 07 waroo bar for that kite you won't regret it. I think it's the best bar out right now... even Scott, noted best BASHER, who doesn't own a single best kite or board, uses an 07 waroo bar. That says a lot, trust me!
LOL
The best bar fully depowers the kite (releases the stopper) when you use the suicide leash safety.
There are two other attachment points also (o-shit handles).
You can release the stopper by just pushing the bar out with one hand (prevents getting lofted)...
TWO CL ropes instead of one
It's a spinner bar... you can spin it all day long in one direction if you want to.
The stopper doesn't chew away at the CL rope like a cleat...so it's not gonna wear and break letting you fall 40 feet into a foot of water and break your back ... (Scott did this a few times with the old slingshit bars).
Oh, and you can self land to one of the o-shit handles no problem. Done it myself several times now... it spins for awhile but it beats a surprise hot launch.
Bayflite can get you one at a really good price... you guys might even be able to work out a product swap
