Yes sir! The 2008 bar is what I use (the black one with shorter center line). It still depowers the kite completely, and removes the un-nessesary extra depower that made the kite "flutter" when depowered all the way. Any other bow kite bar on the market will also work on this kite.
Sorry I didnt call you today, had a mad busy day. Let me call you tomorrow and I can answer any questions you may have. Cheers.
