That does look like a nice setup,

Except, I'm shocked they still have a finger loop style safety.

Haven't these designers learned that those are incredibly difficult to pull when you're wearing gloves?

That kinda rules out having a good safety release for snowkiting and cold water riding

Amsteel blue line and a swivel would have been nice touches too. It looks pro tho!

The safety is a push away style same as Cabrinha, Naish, etc.

that red loop is for the leash line, which you are clipped into all the time anyway.

ah okay! that sounds better.

I thought it looked a bit like a push style but then I saw that redloop that looked like a release. I guess it had me fooled

push style is the way to go Cool

Also looks like the safety is routed through the center of the swivel, THAT'S dope!

Tried this bar last night, its sick! spinning works great and the locking CL when you unhook is a really nice feature. Also the depower sheet cleat works so much smoother, which always been a big gripe for me.
