strong velcro keeps the extra adjustment rope in place while riding.

touch feeling while riding and floats the bar when in the water.
The line winder and integrated bungees on the bar to keep winded
lines in place after the session. New ergonomic comfortable grip
with thinner EvA grip to assure maximized handling efficiency.
New stainless steel center piece to minimize tearing of depower
section and increase durability of PU tube.
6. CUSTOM DEPOWER LINE
Dimmed transparent PU (very strong plastic) tube with two separate compartments, the tube
houses the depower main line (600kg/1320lbs of breaking strain) and safety bungee line. This
combo is well fitted in the center hole of the bar, providing superb power/depower capabilities
and results in an amazing and direct kite feel.
7. SAFETY BUFFER
Our unique buffer solution provides functionality for different safety setup options. The buffer
length also ensures that all quick release activations will be successful. Additionally, the buffer
provides chicken loop stability for unhooked riding as it gently locks into the center hole of the
bar.
8. SAFETY QUICK RELEASE
The push away quick release handle is used to release the kite from rider in case of emergency.
Depending on the selected set-up option, the kite will significantly depower, totally depower
(flag) or separate from the rider.

Covered with a molded EvA (soft cushy foam), the harness loop is very safe for hands and it floats
in the water. Due to its construction the loop doesn’t elongate while riding. It comes equipped
with a removable security pin (Dingy Guy), and the small, integrated ring can be used as a leash
attachment point for One Release set-up.
