Airstyle kit initiative
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 9:34 am
There are quite some topics about custom bars (miniloops), custom T-handles, Grab rails, oversized straps and line extensions.
All equipement that is needed for Airstyle.
At the moment it is necessary to buy all parts separate and its quite often not that easy (I ended up with spending a lot of time finding what I needed and Im still not done after 1-2 months)
I would love the idea of an Airstyle kit:
- Universal miniloop set, mountable on all bars on the market
- T- Handle, hight adjustable
- Universal Grab rails (4 corners, 2 edges)
- Universal Straps with good/soft sidewalls also when set to over-oversize (optional/separate)
- 5m extensions for lines (optional/separate)
Of course the miniloop would need to have perfect angle settings and durability, the T-handle would need to be made of titan-alloy etc.
Now here is my suggestion: Lets contact manufacturers and ask them for this product and support them with developing it
North, Naish, Flysurfer and all the others. With the knowledge of the forum and a support thread where pre-orders can be made (no-one would produce this not knowing he could sell a few hundred of those) we might get what we want.
There are hundreds or thousands of Airstylers out there and it will be more an more soon - but the sport needs the right equipement to grow. I dont think it can grow when most equipement you can use is 2012 and older or modified custom versions that sometimes might lack safety and/or comfort
Here is what I would think reasonable prices would be:
- Universal miniloop set 100 Euros
- T- Handle, hight adjustable 40 Euros
- Universal Grab rails 30 Euros
- Universal oversize Straps 80 Euros
- 5m extensions for lines 30 Euros
So for 250 Euros I think it would make sense. It would still be profitable for a manufacturer.
Flysurfer for example already has a few products in their portfolio. (Straps (maybe could be improved on sidewalls a bit), Grab Rails, line extensions).
What do you think guys and girls?
