the bar is amazing.

if you can tomorrow, while flying the kite, loop the kite, then the bar, then sheet out, sheet in, and the depower ropes are magically untwisted. Even the FDS line.

I flown the P4 10m today, turns fast fast .... It feels smaller than its size, like a 8m.

And the bar pressure is just perfect.

The micro hook? I have it on my north bar and its really convenient. It's really nice being able to lock it in at full power.

Basically, on my North bar, there is a loop [like a D-loop] on the bar, and a little hook on the chicken loop. You put the loop from the bar onto the hook on the chicken loop.

What is does is makes it as if you were flying the kite unhooked because the bar is pulled all the way in, yet you are still hooked in to your harness. It is great for no hands cruising.

I hope that made sense.

I have 2 infinity bars, and none have the little loop.

One of them has the hook, but not the other.

The little hook on the infinity bar is so when you are landed you can temporarily hook the outer lines around the hook and keep the kite backstalling on the ground.
