Best money I've spent on gear ever, I think. I put it off for ages cos they're not cheap and the yen/euro sucked, but I wish I hadn't.
All fixed spreader bar I've used have a habit of rotating up so the ends dig into my flab and leave mark and scratches, or worse, dig holes in my
wetsuits. The Dynabar doesn't. It still get pulled up when used with waist harness but with the Fusion seat heparness, it's just perfect.
Best way to describe it is "greatly improved flow" I never knew how much I was
fighting against fixed spreader bar hook until I didn't have to.
Instantly felt at home on the directional and everything became easier to do, and more fun.
Twin tip took about an hour to get totally used to it; apparently I waggle my hips around like Shakira, especially on poorly landed jumps and the
Dynabr would slide about and pull me off balance, but now it's copacetic.
This might be useful for those flying depower in the buggy who experience body twisting in the seat.
Has anyone tried this yet?
Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

i use to use my tree climbing harness with the land board - the harness is desinged with a floating bridge so you can twist - i reckon i sort this out
on my current waist harness - just need to fashion a hook to fit a pulley wheel.

Could be an excellent solution for those of us on ski's. Side of the hips point at the kite when on skis. This might allow a more natural position
when riding.

Skis and kite landboarding toeside are the applications that would work for me but I'm cheap. Looked into making one years ago but much like many of
my projects... they never get done.

I think it would help, but you loose about 5 inches of effective arm length as the CL slides downwind.
I have been battling that same effect in my climbing harness. The best way I have found to limit it is to tie a swiss seat with tight leg loops and a
very short load loop between the legs. This uses the leg loops to limit the travel of the center clip (what I use in place of a hook).

That's why I kind of gave up on the idea. Thinking about it before I tried it, I knew it would move the cl further away and I didn't want that. After
experimenting with my Hotwire, the first version was just slightly further away than when I wore a harness and I didn't care for it. My new version
is probably just as tight if not tighter to my body than my harness and bar reach is much better. Someone with long arms might like it.
Sorry for the hijack kami. Glad you like the new set up. Wish I had some waves to ride.
i always thought this was a good idea in the bug...i can grab a JayBar/dynabar local...same concept but runs on rope
anyone try one of these out yet???
The latest version of the Jay Dynabar kit comes with rope and sliding hook installed, fixed hook, and the U-bolt as included options.
The metal rail is now an optional extra.
In the buggy, you might actually prefer the U-bolt setup; you get the rotation without the sliding.
The rope doesn't put the bar noticably further away, although it did stretch after the first few hours, so I've re-knotted the rope back to normal
length.
