stage 2 lock bar

1. The side-release shackle is ONLY used for releasing the safety leash and is not the Quick Release of the kite.
   Usually, you will find a ball here for releasing the shackle (not shown on this picture)
2. The chicken loop should be used Wipika-style by using the small tube.
3. The Pin Release system. The Pin can be pulled with minimum effort under load. A kind of strange system with three line loops is used for that. This is the main Quick Release and not the side-open shackle.
4. Lock-In Strap. You can lock the power of the kite at any position. For depowering, you have to actively use the system.
5. Depower-Adjuster is realized using a Clam-Cleat-System.
6. When the Pin-release system is used, the kite will slide up one front line and loose its power.
7. Floatation.
