Cabrinha powerlock 05

Kitekid · #1 09-26-2005, 06:50 PM

i just got a cabrinha powerlock 2005 and i got a few questions. first were is the best spot to connect a leash to,(leash so if you let go of bar doin unhooked stuff you dont lose your kite). Second, what is the best way to wrap the lines so the tap out doesnt get in the way? also a screw driver came with the bar, what is it for? thanx

You should buy a Bypass Leash made by Cabrinha to go with it. I imagine it comes with some instructions. I found a photo of a RECON I system setup with a Bypass Leash below. The RECON II 2005 bar should be similar in this regard.

I believe the 2005 bars come standard with the stainless steel ring in place. I don't know what the screw driver might be intended for. I would get in touch with a local Cabrinha retailer about the bar.

There are a couple of configurations including one using a suicide leash setup for handle passes that is different from the normal configuration. I recommend that you put this question on the Neil Pryde Forum as there seems to be little (no), documentation about this application in Cabrinha website. There are a number of threads there about RECON II and bypass leashes on the kiteboarding forum at:
