Looks like they haven't put out the video yet but this is live on the page. Cool to see them offer different chicken loop and leash length. Wonder how that will work on the back end/ shop stocking it...
But shops not having to stop 4 and 5 line bars I know will be nice.
I realllllly want to know if/ hope the slider rope chicken loop is compatible with IronHeart IV's (by the looks of it, it would work)
Overall seems like a nice update from last years. Also you can see, a little ahead of time, what the 2018 gambler and team boards look like in the photos.

From the look of the copy you can still ride loaded 5th kites with the new trust bar.

Yeah dawg, inflation and rising cost of Asia production is nothing new.

Has anyone try installing the 2018 North Trust bar kit accessories on older North bars? I am particularly interested in rope slider kit.

North hasn't learnt a thing? Still no return of the microloop/hook?
Everyone I see around beaches is doing Airstyle on Boards or Foils.
Good that Flysurfer comes up with a Microhook/loop!

Has anyone tried installing a freeride or rope harness kit on an Iron Heart IV bar (2015, 2016, 2017)?
I can't find any official word from NKB on the matter.
It would be an interesting upgrade for the older bars.
