Thanks for your reply Naish kiteboarding, i have tried multiple bars, with multiple stoppers, borrowed from locals in my area, they all do the same thing for me, and slip towards the kite. I have never experienced it locking off and not being able to depower the kite. When i say slip, it usually doe...

Ok so the new kites are here and we wont get into why they have taken so long.... BUT,
