===Double Depower System===

Naish’s Shift System has the option of coming equipped with the Double Depower
system. The Double Depower system provides increased depower while maintaining
an identical feel in your bar system. In the mid and lower part of the range, the power in your bar will be consistent to how you’re used to riding. At the top of the trimline, the bar will push on the ball and that will pull on the Shift line. This will dramatically change the kite’s angle of attack and give you a new level of depower.

Always check to make sure that the red ball and the lines around it are not tangled in any way and are in clean working order.

===Rusting Bolts===

If you ride in salt water, watch for any signs of rust on the two little hex bolts.
They are located under the red plastic on the chicken loop release.
I have replaced six rusted bolts, with new bolts compliments of my local Naish shop.
Two were already broken, three snapped under the wrench, and one unscrewed ok.

To check yours, open the release and push the red cover all the way up.
I packed the replacement bolts with grease and I now rinse my bars in fresh water every night.
