Interested in your kites and other items posted and would like to have more information and pictures. I found the following website and would like to know what exact models you are selliing. All are close cell kites for water use and relaunch?

How these kite work? Are they similar to HQ Hydra training kite that can be relaunched from water? Can one fly these kites using modern inflated SLE kite control bar in lieu of the original bar came with these kite?

I am interested in the XM Pro if it works like HQ Hydra. Would you be interested in selling it to me if my 4-line control bar can be used.

The Kitesurfers are fixed bridle kites, not depower by any means. Best flown on handles in my opinion.

I built a crossover bar for my XXL out of an old 4 line depower bar and it worked pretty well. This is not a depower bar setup, but rather a gives you proportional brake input depending on how far the bar is sheeted in or out. The Ozone Turbo bar is different geometry, but achieves similar ends for fixed bridle kites.

Krumly,

Thanks for your help on this. In your crossover bar, did you have the outer lines on the bar attached to the kite front bridles and the middle lines on the bar attached to the kite break line bridles? Are all the foil kites depowered that way? The inflated SLE kite depowers differently with the bar middle liines attached to the kite front bridles and outer lines attached to the kite back bridles for sheeting the power and steering the kite.

Also, how do you attach the quick release (chicken loop) to the bar? A few photos of your convered bar would be greatly appreciated.
