Not sure on a Bow or Hybrid. I was thinking Bow however did not want to get into the pulley system thing...just one more thing to go wrong with limited benefit IMO. Therefore I'm looking for the simplicity of relaunching found with the newer kites and the full depower that is not found in a C. The relaunching is a bigger value for me since I ride alone so frequently, the depower is not as important now that I have a few seasons of kite control under my belt. I notice the Bows alow to let go of the bar if you get into trouble without the kite crashing to the water unlike C's, then relauching to the edge of this window appears to be effortless. Ive been riding my C;s suicide hoooked tothe chicken loop and that helps minimize a tangle when letting the bar go but the relaunch is you normal sprint/swim to the kite.
I have (4) 06' SS bars and (1) 05' so this is the reason for hoping to keep my SS.
