Those black floats on the leader lines as shown in the above pic ... ^^^
Do they serve any other purpose other than preventing the kitebar from sinking ?
Just curious.
Water relaunching when you grab one line? Not all bar floats actually make the bar float in my experience, though the fatter slingshot ones on my current bar seem to.
What they said.
Also stops you from getting bare leader line across your knuckles when you have the bar at full lock.
i test flew a wainman when they first came out, and the chicken loop itself had a foam filled pouch that floated to the surface, so you could quickly find the loop when you dropped the bar
i dont get the point of them. if u drop the bar u arent going to lose it anyway. last time i checked u usually connect your lines (and bar) to ur kite (which floats)
Why would the leash be attatched to the outside flying line? This seems to be asking for trouble. Is this a current model in the photo?
Thought this was going to be about someone kicking off a pub on a barge to pick up a beer while you ride by...what a horrible disappointment.
