[Freda Latou]

I hav triéd with lines from the bar to harness       it seems still quite stearable with 3 m lines     not with 10 meter.  But i had  low wind

With dépower bar ?  Middle lines joined to back lines     Worth a try

Apparently it affects the trailing edge.

 

 

[Freda Latou]

M

back lines à bit to short  tips are folding

Now i  use thé streestar like my nasawings , paraskiflex mode no lines, depower bar with lines 

[Freda Latou]

 

.i hav found a way to have a good profile under lines  , a rope instead  the original bar   i think it will work also

 with dépower bar.  

[Freda Latou]

Today i hav flown my npw9 7,6 m  (packs smaller than streetstar) with 10 m lines and landpaddle stick as bar.    It works ! Hop to do the same with the streetstar

A wiew of the stick no lines.:

On the facebook page of BORN KITE is a link to a new test report.
The report is unfortunately only in German language, maybe "Dingo" can translate this (that would be great).

I had a little more wind. You can really steer the wing in any direction with the ergo bar 

Paraskilflex mode works to, i will use the kite on my sup this week end 

 

 

[Freda Latou]

I hav compared street star 6 and npw9 7;6        Nasa has more power and speed   upwind is a little batter with star       street star  would hav a better control without bar but the Y front line has to become a two lines and it reqires a dismont 

howether this ergo bar is a great improvment , so simple to use

 

 

[Randy]

So do the prices include the bar? 

 

 

[Freda Latou]

Yes

 next i want to try thé ergo bar with thé nasa 

Street star would be easy with sup  

ergo bar plus single  Skin is thé perfect combo

[speed rider]

I found a new Street Star video:

 

 

[Freda Latou]

Harness plus fat bike the 6 m  works on grass from 3 beaufort.   Like riding à horse

[Freda Latou]

I hav managed to change the Y front lines in V

A nice video from Steffen showing off his new StreetStar (SnowStar?).

 

 

[Olof Palmolja]

Same principle as the old Norweigan ski seil.

This is how they 'ski kited' in Norway in the 19:th century long before ski kiting was 'invented'

 

 

[Freda Latou]

Very fast! We  dont hav big size street star until now

 street star has a great bar but sail position is problem i found     not always easy to put the sail where it should be and stay !

the problem may be solved with a bigger bar or a Keystone bar

Looks like a little practice with the bar.  Here it even manages a girl.

 

 

[Freda Latou]

Ergo bar nasawing

 

 

[Freda Latou]

the depower works very easely       i prefer to use harness it helps to steer         compare with kitewing 

 

[Freda Latou]

Ergo bar steers my nasa 13 m  no lines   could be sold per se  

Stefan has really invented  something new    and  fonctional

[Freda Latou]

Short lines plus ergo bar gives the ability to keep  sailing  when wind drop down , like  you would do with a kitewing    but with no weights.. 

 

 

 

[Freda Latou]

ergo bar pansh adam 4,5         i hav fun riding 20 KM on paths and roads and paddling  upwind      today less wind  i used the street star  6

 

[Randy]

That's pretty cool.  Have you ever tried the Adam with that bar on longer lines?
