Cabrinha 2015 bar

Postby dragnfly » Fri Sep 05, 2014 12:26 pm

I've got a couple of issues and am after any tips please.

1 - is it possible to wind up the lines and spring in a tidy fashion? I could do it ok with the 2014 but the 2015 seems impossible to wrap up so its tidy.

2 - To set the leash in suicide, I cant get the clip over the chicken loop and depower line hoop at the same time as it seems to small (well, I can, but its bloody tricky). Funny how in the Cabrinha vid where its discussed there is an obvious cut where the leash clips on by magic! I like to change the set up quite often each session and its a pain in the bum. Is there an easy way?

My 2 cents:

1. That's why it has a nice bag, so you can stuff all the bits in.

2. Try clipping it on towards the top part of the loop where the stitching is, it is easier but still not perfect. Suicide is the way to use the 2015 bar for sure , still totally safe.

i bring the chickenloop close to the bar fold the floaties in ward towards bar and hold onto them with two fings from hand holding centre of bar.....then start wraping spring and all just like the lines even though the spring takes up one side of the bar u can still find place to wrap lines....keeps everything together......for me anyways, then into bag.

you can always open the depower loop( activate the QR) and slide the end thru the "clip" and the reset
