It's great that you make a plastic coated depower line for your pro riders and with a short fixed bar for wake style rider. Obviously the fact that your pro riders want it means it's clear that people do prefer it but you obviously dont give a **** about the every day riders who don't want a fixed length midget bar?

Thanks for nothing. Time to pick a new brand.

Yeah, I know...first world problems

Which ever kite company designs a component bar that lets you build your own perfect bar will do well.
Just imagine how good it would be to have it set up the way you want and remove all the niggling things you dont like.

Legitimately though, Bars aren't fancy technology, if you have ridden a couple different kites you get a good idea how to make your own.
Much cheaper too.

Hi safer,
I'm guessing your refering to the wake bar?
for our Vegas (c kite) there is 3 bar options that can be used. 1 with a standard chickenloop. 2 with plastic coated chicken loop.
not sure what your problem is, but feel free to msg me if you have a question.

thanks

I'm confused ?

Are you saying you don't want a midget bar ?

I'm thinking you do.

Anyway,here's a pic of a midget bar.

Hi Josh

In simple terms, take the plastic coated depower line, chicken loop etc and add it to a completely normal bar with adjustable bar ends.

Saffer

Don't ride North (for good reason) but do love the more wake orientated gear coming on the market these days. It's about time really!

Put your spare plastic depower line that comes with the wake bar on the normal trust bar and buy the bigger chicken loop to replace the standard size one. And I think the 2013 bar is riveted so drill the rivets out and cut it to desired size if the flip flop of the newer bars doesn't give you the width you want.

Yes, because no one has ever had a plastic coated chicken line or a bar you could make shorter... it's like a revolution . Seriously though, I'd like to see brands push it a bit more, I'm stoked they are starting to get the idea though, small steps!

Being pretty discriminating saffer

I'm sure the midget bars prefer being called "little" bars and see themselves as completely normal.

I think "horizontally challenged" is the more politically correct term

Looks like a great bar and I would like to have one, however the price for one of these is ridiculous. As already stated by others 'just customize the one you've got'.

Wouldn't horizontally challenged refer to people that aren't on the horizon - aka high?

So what do you call a dwarf stoner?

Nope. That's vertically challenged. So a midget stoner would be a vertically challenged alleged (until proven guilty) soft narcotics user

Not sure what's funnier, the fact people are complaining about something they can easily fix, or the fact people think North made a "wakestyle" bar.
