anyone know how to re grip a bar, and what to use?

My bar grip has peeled off. I have now left it too long and it is all out of shape and ripped so not possible to re glue.

cheers

all i can say is wait until the next model is out and buy it
cause bar setups alone cost up to $400 and after you put some new stuff on it'll never be the same

tennis grip

you might have to ask an old windsurfer nicely and say please!

post it in the windsurfing forum and be humble, you may be surprised!

Used to make my own bars - windsurfing shops used to sell boom regripping kits. Just cut the grip to size with some overlap and use contact adhesive. wait for contact adhesive to dry as per instructions and wrap grip around bar. Cut excess so there is a tiny bit of overlap and then lightly sand back the edge until it is smooth.

This worked well for me. No fancy sh!t.

Best bit is you don't even need to bother with contact cement.

cheap as chips and feels nicer on the hands than a standard kite bar... and you get a nice variety of colours and texture

tennis grip is pretty sweet, make sure you get the thin grip though. Also make sure you heat up a knife red hot and push it around where the bar hole is so it melts it a bit a seals it onto the bar.
