By any chance does anyone have spare stopper balls that would be compatible with PL zero 4/7 bars?
I need 1 or 2.
I would Imagine stopper balls don't have to be brand specific, however it needs to be a single line stopper as opposed to double(like the one that
comes with the navigator bar)

I ordered few from kiteboarding.com ..... If you need now you can have one .... if not in hurry just call them ..... I think they have like 5
different types .......

Which kind are you looking for? Like the one that stays put on the line for when you pull the safety so the bar doesn't go all the way to the kite? Or
do you need one for your CL rope?
I'm thinking you need what I just got... #1 in this diagram:

If for CL rope, it would be #2.

Im looking for the sliding stopper ball.
The one on the depower rope above tha bar so that i can set how far the bar travels when the kite is at Zenith.
When im wearing a seat harness its fine. when im wearing my waist harness, when the bar is all the way out, i cant reach it. I need a way of keeping
the bar(when all the way out) to keep it within reach.
Same issue when kristin is flying, since she is a shorty she cant reach the bar if she lets go.
I dont want to make the throw shorter and lose depower so a sliding stopper would be the way to go

Sorry not as familiar with that one (my zero7 is missing it). Maybe someone else can chime in to see if that CL stopper ball would work. I have a
feeling it doesn't move though, more of a static stopper.
And then if she can't reach the bar, the depower straps are pretty much useless right? Maybe smaller chicken loop and an under the bar trim.
When the bar is all the way out and you can't reach it (because you crashed and let go or something), grab the CL rope and pull it to you to bring the
bar within reach. Since the kite is depowered it should be easier to pull on the center rope.
