OK! I only found it on handles in my last search, which was very quick.

I now see that yes it was offered in a depower setup! Yes, I would pick that up for that price!

Great tool to learn on, and can really move a lighter person around!

From Gin when the kite came out...

"The Zig is GIN’s beginner to intermediate, all-round powerkite designed to be easy to use, friendly and stable while providing loads of performance for all your powerkiting needs.

The Zig is stable enough to give you confidence in all conditions and to allow you to concentrate on perfecting your skills whether it be kiteboarding, buggying, snowkiting, jumping or just being pulled around – this kite will do it all!

Manufactured to the highest standards from quality materials to produce wrinkle free, clean surfaces, properly reinforced in all the right areas – built to perform and built to last.

The ZIG can be bought from stock either with bar or handle setup.

- ZIG depower bar : 4-line bar depower setup
- ZIG 3-line bar: 2-line bar setup with 3rd safety line
- ZIG depower kit: used for converting the kite to 4-line bar
- ZIG handle setup: 4-line kite handles"

Gin build quality is excellent but I have no experience with this kite nor their depower conversion kit which use to be explained more fully on their website but I couldn't find it anymore.

here is some more info

I don't know why that website comes up as insecure - maybe because of the video and downloadable links.
