Tragedy - anyone have a spare bar and lines?

I kited out in hood river on friday, good times all around. But I learned a lesson.

When you're swimming out to the sand bar, clip in your bar and lines.

The river caught them and washed them away. Sad

I ended up kiting on an 11 meter with the bar from my 7 meter. It worked ok, but boy was the steering slow.

Does anyone have a spare bar and lines in the 55cm or so length? (the kite is an 11m Slingshot T3 from 2008. 4 line.) Bonus points if it's a slingshot - I'd love not to have to remember a second safety system.

Feel free to reply to this post or PM me.

Thanks a bunch!

I still have the bar and line set that came with my '08 slingshot REV. Hasn't been used in a couple years. Still in good shape.

Yours for $50. PM if interested.

That's a four line bar but it can be rigged 2:1 or 1:1. You'll need a pulley bar if you were using it 2:1 (most likely). I have a pulley bar/lines from a t3 11m....used but serviceable....I'll pull it out and give it a safety check.....have not used it for some time....pm for more info.
