Well, dry it works better than wet
A bit slippery and it moves a bit.
I might need to wrap it from the other side and see if it stays better.
But for sure better than the original grip that is peeling off
and some of the people who want standardization have misunderstood the viewpoint of the people who they think oppose it. I do not oppose standardization. i do, however, think that it is, at best, a long way off and in the meantime you might quite whining about it and put your big boy pants on and do something about it yourself. It is an easy to deal with problem. Do you know the phrase "first world problem". Well, this does not even add up to that much of an "issue". Until some body else has fixed the problem for you, fix it yourself for now. and go kite, safely….JS wrote:The anti-standardization viewpoints of some here might be caused by misunderstanding that certain safety standards are intended to reinforce intuition and minimize the chance of human error, and not as an alternative to knowing how to use one's equipment.
Some of the greatest proponents of basic safety standards and routines are pilots with thousands of hours of (death-free) flying experience. They understand that people occasionally make mistakes, and they try to reduce the frequency and severity of them. They generally don't spend time writing pointless drivel on aviation forums to oppose the simplest of measures that can help reinforce intuition and minimize potential for human error.
That said, I totally understand that some kiteboarders are above that kind of thinking, which is impressively badass.
Yes and not only is it yellow, but opposite to the only other bar on the market that uses that color, Core kiteboarding. They use the yellow in the left side and the white on the right. I have this bar and it makes sense to me. Solid is on the right. I am NOT saying that I think yellow is the correct color for the left side of the bar. I also think red should be the standard.longwhitecloud wrote:torch bar, looks so sick err until i am stuck upside down with 15 milliseconds to grab the right side after 12+? years with red on the left. wtf.
Roughly 10% of the male population is red/green colour blind. These people cannot be deck officers on ships, nor can they be airline pilots. Both of these disciplines require testing to ensure that the individuals in question can correctly determine the direction other craft are headed at night.Jensb wrote:Why not red/green ? (looks nice dosent count if there is an impact on safety imo)

Also HQ, also LF for a while I think. There is no downside to having text in addition to color. I'll always react to text first, especially if they throw in some exclamation marks.Just to confuse matters further, I'll add that we could also standardize top/bottom with a 'right' and a 'wrong' tone facing the rider--like on the Epic bar which has (had?) 'WRONG WAY' emblazoned near the hole.
