Just got a new 06 Slingshot bar. Man, this thing looks bombproof, and has lots of cool features. Any you guys getting new stuff? I also got 3 05 Yargas.

wow! I have got a few sessions on the new bar and kites. The Yargas are sick!!! The new SS bar is really nice. the sheetable 5th line is really useful. Also the CL hooks and unhooks with ease.

I went out in 40mph on a 7m yesterday. WOW!!!

the new slingshot bar is pretty tight, i have last years bar with the one-line system added and the knucklesaver post sawed off. I've yet to use it with my BFK as I'll have to adjust the 5th line length due to different bridles, but i'll probably just adjust it on the bar line and add line to my fuel bridle

just watch that 'control panel' slapping you in the face when you unhook

HAHA! My wife said the same thing. That loop swivel is bulky and I wasnt all for it at first, but now I get it. Having all that structure makes it really stiff, so its enough tension to allow the swivel to work properly. On my BEST swivel, if you unhooked and the swivel spun at an angle that you couldnt hook back in you had to spin it by hand. If you tried just bumping it with your hook, it would just bend the CL line and not spin the swivel. But the SS with all that plastic is stiff, so if it spins, all you do it bump it with your hook and since the plastic doesnt bend, the loop swivels and you hook right in.

I need to adjust my 5th line leaders on the Yargas too, but since I can adjust the 5th on the fly, Ive been doing that. Too lazy to go adjust everything.
