Universal upgrade kit to build a universal bar compatible with all kites on the market.
You already have a bar and kite lines: the universal upgrade kit is for you!
- back leader lines
- safety line with bungee
- AKA 3 (or 4) push away quick releaser (with swivel)
- stainless steel leash ring
- stainless steel safety ring (for front line)
- stop ball
- depower rope with handle and velcro
- Aerocleat Clamcleat Racing (allows to change the height of the depower throw)
- trim pulley with ball bearing
- trim handle with velcro
The size corresponds to the chicken loop size of the AKA quick release:
S : Small
M : Medium / standard
L : Large
The Small size is perfectly suited for wave riding, hydrofoiling and young/short riders who will never unhook.
This kit is also potentially good for any bar on the market. You might have to add extensions on the steering lines, in case there is a difference in length between the front and steering lines.
AKA 3 or AKA 4?
This quick release (version 3 or 4) can be adapted to any bar on the market, including a carbon bar. You can choose between:
- the AKA 3 release
- the AKA 4 click-in release with automatic re-engagement
To help you decide:
- if you’re looking for a high-performance release that can be re-engaged with one hand (click-in), is compact, and features a ceramic ball bearing, choose the AKA 4
- If you need a simpler, more efficient system with a stainless steel ball bearing, the AKA 3 will be more than sufficient
