Can anyone else vouch for this brand/designer?

I usually attach the rear lines to the second or third knot on the bridle, the fourth knot would add more rear line tension making it turn slower it seems. What size do you have? Maybe it's just slow because I have the 14m and I'm always flying it in lightwind. When I jump with it (at least in 10-14...

I found myself flying in lightwind quite frequently, so I decided to pick up an 08 nemesis hp, thinking that I was paying for a good compromise between bows and C kites -- instead I got neither. This kite does not have very good depower or relaunch but it also turns slowly and has a very indirect fe...

I was offered one for $400, I know that for a new bar that's not necessarily a bad price but that is by no means cheap IMO.

Sounds like a piece of junk, I haven't decided whether I should try to mod it with a clam cleat and change it around or just sell it and get another bar. What other bars would work well wth the 08 nemi?

I just picked up a used 09 best bar for my nemesis, and I have a couple of questions. Have any of you had trouble with the front line swivel jamming? Mine gets stuck if I push the two pieces together. Also, how do you use the stopper ball on this bar? I just push it up and down, and there's nothing ...

I've been using North 5th element bars since I started flying and their safety is bombproof. I've had to use it on a number of occasions and it has never failed me. I also like the bar in general, the only complaint I have is that sometimes it can be tough to let out the trim strap, but I have an 06...

Damn you're really up there. How high were you?

Would the bar from an 07 naish shockwave work? Are these good bars? Are 20m lines a good size for a 14m?

I have adapted the lines so that I have a 5th line connection on the Nem. 2 problems: The North bar ha a V bridle, so the kite deforms due to the direction of pull. Secondly the fifth line needs to be very very long when depowering a LOT! A solution would have been to change the front lines from a ...
