Looking at 14.5m Cloud kite for foiling. Will Slingshot bar work with this kite? _________________ My kite not pink it's magenta damit! |

pretty much any 4 line bar will work on the clouds. bars with good throw work best.
what's cool with the cloud kites is if your knots are different than your other kites, it's super easy to reverse the connections on the kite!
14.5m kite for foiling? you must be in some light winds! I use a 14.5 cloud but only when its super light _________________ www.jimstringfellow.com |

I use the Slingy bar with my 14.5. I like it better than the Cloud bar.
I agree w Stringy its a big kite for foiling. I use it for light wind snowkiting and SPI trips.
Love how it flies, turns similar to my 12 rpm and nice range.
Enjoy! _________________ surf the san juans |

Greg highly recommends the CCS bar for the bigger size Clouds. |

I haven't even used the brm bar with my cloud 17 but it can definitely use the long throw. The SS bar works pretty well if you slide the stopper up, or in the top half of the kite's range, cleat off a healthy length of trim rope. A shorter chicken loop is better too, if you have one at all. The kites like to be able to have a lot of movement. |
