I use Cabrinha 55cm bar on Fat Lady - no problems at all. BTW wind range on it is amazing - recently flew it in 20knots gusts and on a big board too! That is where Cabrinha bar has an advantage - it has more throw and depower, easier no handle gusts and stronger wind when it picks up unexpectedly.Windfreak87 wrote:Can anyone tell me if I can use my cabrinha Ids bar on blade fat lady? Trying to talk the wife into letting me pick one up, but it would help my cause if I can save on the bar.

And don't be afraid of a bigger kite...actually they are much easier to handle!
This is even more important at very low speeds.JS wrote:The variation in perception of wind speed (and even more so wind strength) tends to be considerably greater between specific observers and specific conditions than the variation in capabilities between different kite brands and models (of similar size).
For example, the inherent 'strength' and 'energy' of 11 knot wind is 247% that of 7 knot wind. In my life of competitive sailing, teaching, coaching, windsurfing and kiteboarding, I've seen many more people confidently misjudge such variations than get them right... which may explain the extraordinary divergence of opinions on kite performance.
