For 2012, we are very excited to offer a newly redesigned bar configuration. Highlights include a fully integrated, one piece moldedReal Deal
EVA float and bar end winders. This combination creates a seamless one-piece design that is simple and offers better flotation for bar recovery. The bar itself has been reduced in over all diameter and features ergonomic finger contours to increase the bar feedback and reduce hand fatigue. Add in tubing wrapped leader lines to help prevent near bar tangles during falls and you now have the simplest, the safest, and the highest standard in control systems for any kite on the market.
Liquid Force CPR (Center Push Release) is a patent approved system (U.S. Patent 6,988,694) that allows an instant and effortless safety release of the kite, with either the left or the right hand or from the front or back of the bar. Once engaged, the bar will release from the chicken loop to either the 100% de-power flag line or 90% de-power main line leash options.
100% DE-POWER FLAG LINE The LF CPR Control System has a 100% De-power flag line, leashattachmentoption. Whenattachingtheleashtothe flag line and releasing the bar via CPR (or simply letting go), the kite will completely de-power and fall to the water. This will leave the kite connected to only one front line, and allow the rider to work their way back to the bar, reset the CPR if engaged, and either prelaunch the kite or wrap it up for another session.
90% DE-POWER OPTION To utilize the 90% de-power leash attachment setting, attach your leash to the end of the mainline. This set-up will allow the rider to safely and repeatedly de-power and disable their kite while still enabling the rider to re-launch and ride again very quickly. The kite remains flying on two front lines and will drift to either corner of the wind window, readying itself for prelaunch.
BELOW THE BAR DE-POWER CLEAT The power adjustment mainline runs through a 3D-Molded cleat, molded directly into the CPR Chicken Loop . This cleat allows effortless adjustment of the mainline and an extreme amount of de-power, always within reach below the bar and molded cleanly right into the chicken loop surface.
CENTER LINE PUSH RELEASE The LF CPR Release is designed for ultimate safety and sim- plicity, allowing a rider to release the kite with either hand, from the front or back of the bar, always the same on either side, and at any time! (U.S. Patent 6,988,694)
NON-MECHANICAL 100% MOLDED DESIGN The LF CPR is unique in that it has NO MECHANICAL or METAL Parts. Each of the quick release parts are molded plastic and will not rust, seize or corrode and will always func- tion properly in sand, salt, heat or snow.
QUICK CLICK CPR RELEASE RESET The CPR Release is designed to be just as easy and reliable to reset, as it is to release, even from the water. The CPR resets simply by snapping the chicken loop onto the mainline and then pulling the red release down until it clicks. Done!
COLOR CODED 3D MOLDED EVA GRIP More comfortable than ever before with bold color-coded grip. This bar grip makes it very easy to identify the right/left sides of the bar while flying and even when getting tumbled underwater. You always know which end of the bar to grab.
AUTO INDEXED CHICKEN LOOP Allows a stiff and constant alignment of the chicken loop to the bar when unhooking/hooking back in. The chicken loop does not flop around and is always aligned correctly with the bar. No need to look to unhook or re-hook!
ONE PIECE EVA MOLDED FLOATS AND WINDERS A simple, hassle free design that floats better than standard line float, offering faster and easier bar recovery.
TUBING WRAPPED LEADER LINES Helps in the prevention of near bar tangles during falls and offers another color-coded visual point of reference for right and left.
HIGHEST QUALITY PRE-STRETCHED FLYING LINES LF uses only the highest quality flying lines that do not stretch or deform over time.
SLIDING STOPPER BARREL Quick, easy to reach on the fly, fast adjustment of bar throw.
