Originally posted by XdisasterXdrewX I actually haven't used the 6m Ace with my board yet (which I should probably do before I buy another kite.) I just don't know how it feels using a bar with it. 8 or 9mph is usually the very least that I will go out I am good with landing the kite gently. The ground is pretty crappy though. A lot of ground hog holes and some sticks but I've been good so far

The Ace does not like brake input so consider that when choosing a bar configuration. One that minimizes brake input might give the best results.

I guess I just assumed that all bridles kites did not like brake input. is that not true?

No not at all. Flexi Blades like brake input, as do Most HQ kites, PKD Combats and the PL Reactors and RIIs as well. All these kites (and others I'm sure) boost performance with the right amount of brake input, but the Ace just dies when you touch the brakes. I have flown 5 different sizes and they all responded to brake input with the same result.

I might as well get that 8.5m Blade III then.

Are there any huge differences between landboarding with a bridled kite and a LEI?

+1 to try the Ace before anything else

A 6m will give you a decent pull if the ground is hardpacked.
The best session I had with a FB on my ATB was with my Twister IIr 5.6m and the wind was around 7-10mph. (I'm at 130 lbs)

I'm assuming that you have handles on it, right? So, just go out and try it. The brake input on handles is easy to control and minimize/ amplify when needed (since the Ace doesn't like it) or you can try it on a simple bar (no brake input on turns) or a cross-over bar (there's a ratio of maybe 70-30 front to brake turn).

After that, and depending on how you liked it, you may consider in getting something similar or not.

P.S.: Just saw it --^^^^^^

When you say that you don't know how it react's (the Ace) with a bar, what do you mean? A normal Fixed Bridle bar or the bar from one of your Depowers???
If it is from your Depowers it won't work.

I know that it wont work with my depower bar (because of the brakes).
The only FB kites that I have ever used are my Pansh kites so I dont really understand how any type of FB kite would like any brake input whatsoever.
The Blade should break me in
