interesting. i was out this past week in 5m wave/30+kn nuke conditions here on the north sea and got spanked around on my shortlined 7m C while my buddies were laughing at me from their SLEs. small Cs are great for certain conditions in the surf. im looking to get a small SLE now.

how do you like the bar? anyone have pics of kite and bar.

The bar works well, better than I thought it would, cos I didnt think I would like the depower strap.

The chicken loop QR is great and the 5th line kill switch which is a line that goes from the bottom of the front lines swivel to below the bar is a simple and effective way of killing the power, by pulling the front lines down to the bar if the kite is leashed to that point.

First look at the bar with knots in the leaders and the flying lines larks head on to them , and the stopper cleat on the CL, the bar looks a bit messy, but this is the first bar line set I have owned that I have used stock as it came, and it works well, and the whole through the bar looks like it will last for a while.

YES:
I was out 3 days ago with my 6 Nano, winds gusting to 40mph+, 128 TT UG,
Waves head high, but blown to shit.
Was absolutely Awesome.
Kick ass kite for sure.

Also had some scary jumps and kite loops (not like Len10, but still nutty)
