I have short arms myself being 160 cm tall. I have done some research looking specifically for bars that would help and found that airush and naish has bars models specifically designed for small persons. However I'm using a core sensor pro, the clamcleat height is adjustable, but you need to ajust the line lengths after move the cleat. Also moving the cleat will reduce the depower capability, and the person need to be more carefull when trimming (reducing the power) the kite, as the “fat grey line” that is part of the trim/ safety system can go trought the metal rings and possibly get stuck in the advent of QR activation. I am not sure if this is a general weakness of the sensor bar design or it is specific from my bar.
My wife is 5'2" and uses F!reball with a Recoil control system. She can reach the trim and this system doesn't have any loose lines or tails whipping around. She rides in a waist harness. As stated above, a seat harness will make it even easier to utilize the full range of a control system if you have short arms.
We rode along launching/staying at Kirk’s 4'th week of January didn’t we? Swiss socks and Apollo, right?Cab Driver wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 7:26 pmMy wife is 5'2" and uses F!reball with a Recoil control system.

One thing of note, using a rope slider while on toeside really INCREASES the distance the bar must be pushed to depower or to reach the trim. Just an FYI.
My conclusions from hearing all the advice are following:Makogirl wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 9:23 pmvery good question but no one really answered it.... we have the bar and we don t want to change it, we don t want to wear sit harness. any real solution ???
how about a stopper ball ? I can t reach the bar if I let go, I haved send a message to Cabrinha,, I don t beleive there is no kid or womens on the circuit that haven t found a solution.... just bought 4 drifters and trim lite bar and this problem got to be solve... riding waves and loosing your bar makes a catastrophie..
thanks for your help..
