Cool, what about the 2 front lines. When you do rolls/spins do they corckscrew?

i havn't receieved my bars yet, however there are differnt spinning options available (centre line leash, outside line leash,+othr options), so i imagine they've all angles covered.

It's in almost every picture. You can read "punch-out" in the last picture.

yeah..the punch out it's at the end of the depower... you can read punch out...
no twist of the fifth line cause it's indipendend...
it's really a good bar.

this is the base set up barwith 5th line...you can add 5th line, hp leash etc etc...

is the "eject" system for releasing the leash that crappy velcro type like on the old bar or is it a more failsafe type (like a tube over pin)?

The reason I ask is that my rear line kiteleash got stuck on the bar when I wanted to ditch the kite and the thing sent my kite into a death spiral pulling me straight into rocks. I couldn't get the god-damned kite leash to disconnect until I finally hit the rocks and the plastic part you wrap the leash through broke. Scared the hell out of me and I'm damn lucky it broke instead of dragging over rocks and into a parking parimeter pole. Ended up with a nice thigh bruse but it could have been much worse. Needless to say I don't trust the velcro type of safety release now because I feel it takes too much pressure to release in an emergency situation.

Now I'm using the Naish SS leash attached to my spreader bar and rear line. I like how reliable the tube over pin release mechnism is but I also like the punch out ability of the ocean rodeo bar. Just curious about the new setup...

the, velcro is gone, punch out is there, just hidding behind the shock which prevents accidential punch outs

[hotstick]

yes!!! just pull or the punch out or the ejct and you are free(5line will keep the kite).
then, if you want to re ride it's just to fit...it takes one second...it's great!
