Mixing Kites, Control Bars, & Straps/Handles
Mixing kites, control bars, and kiteboards are common in kiteboarding, especially as you upgrade gear or build a quiver over time.
In many cases, a kite will fly just fine with a bar from another manufacturer. That being said, "works" does not always mean "works as intended." Differences in line length, front line split, and safety systems can change how a kite operates, depowers, and flags out.
This page is designed as a starting point based on the common standards for valves, front line splits, and line connections we see across the brands we carry. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! We're happy to do the research to make sure your setup is ready to go.
