Hi guys the kill switch works very simple, its a line that is attached at the top of the depower strap by the swivel when you let go of the bar it will putt all the tension on the flying lines effectively killing the kites power. When you under to average power the kite will just fall from the air like a 5th line, if you are LIT the kite will slowly drop to the water with no power. Then if your done kiting or have an emergency to can pull the OSH handles to totally flag out the kite. Or if your a beginner maybe its best just to attach the leash to the OSH Handel so if you let go of the bar the kite will be flag ed out.
You can add this to a 2007 bar its very easy to make. But I don't think it will fully kill the kite like the 2008 because the 2008 kite has more travel in the bar.

Hope you guys are having fun you missed surfexpo but being at the factory getting production going is more important than sitting in a booth checking out the eye candy and telling everybody why they should buy eclipse kites. The new kites look awesome and it looks like Im going to need A 9 nano for my wave kite this year cant wait till oct.

SURF 8 & 12 for the waves. RENEGADE 6.5 and 9 for all around kiting. And some times I use my son's JUNIOR PRO 4 when it blows 45+ for the waves.
Just try the EPICKITES and you will see for yourself.

Hello guys,
Yes it was a hard decision to make between going to the Surf Expo or going to China to make sure everything is perfect before production.
I heard from different people that the SURF EXPO turned out to be very very good. But I think we made a good choice coming to China to make sure the kites are ready for production.
We spent so much time on the 2008 kites to bring you the best construction and amazing kites. All I can say is that you will be impressed once you try the kites.
I am sending you few pictures of the NANOS. I will have more pictures of the THRUSTER tomorrow.
