Good deal on handles (Found)


My 5m Flow is on a bar. I originally got it that way for light wind cruising and using the chicken loop with the harness(safety preference).

Since that time; maybe it's the ultra light wind I seem to be out in with it; I really need it on handles to get the most out of it.

Who's got a great deal on a pair of handles?

I love my flows on handles. Really responsive. I have a bar but no longer use it.






I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

You are on the right track.

I started out flying my 5m Ace on a cross over bar. One night I was struggling and could hardly fly it in a messy wind park. I decided to try it on handles and it was like I had a completely different kite. Saved the session and opened my eyes as to how much better control you get with handles.



Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

Pansh handles on an Ozone kite? Blasphemy?




I was browsing my kite shelf and noticed two Pansh kites and one set of handles... Now 2 kites and no handles...


So much better on handles. With that plain bar it was as if it was a two line kite.

Just had one of my best sessions ever with the 5m Flow on handles in light wind.
