Brake strap
Break strap for land kiting and/or foil kites.
This strap connects to the two back leader lines of the bar. When pulling the break, the kite is deflated and falls off to the ground.
The Kite Access + Kite Attitude Bar is specially designed for kitesurfing schools. His assembly in 4 direct lines without Y (V low) Simplifies the manipulations and allows the easily unraveling lines. Reliable and robust, it is ideal for a secure learning and intensive use in training center or IKO school.
The Access+ kite school bar from Kite Attitude is the best kitesurf bar for schools and IKO training centers. Designed to withstand intensive use, it features exclusive reinforcements under the bar to absorb impacts, as well as improvements to the AKA 3 quick release.
A true benchmark for reliability, the Kite Attitude universal bar is compatible with all brands and kite sizes, in 4 or 5 lines, and works just as well with recent models as with kites made before 2008.
Compatible with : Advance, Airush, Best, Blade, Cabrinha, Conceptair, Core, Duotone, Eleveight, F-One, Flysurfer, Gong, HB, Naish, North, Ozone, Pansh, Reedin, RRD, Slingshot, Sroka, Takoon, Zeeko…
If you have any doubts about compatibility or tuning with a specific kite (Best Kahoona, Slingshot, Genetrix, etc.), the Kite Attitude team will help you adjust your bar.

Each size of the Access+ school bar is optimized for a specific use :
- 42 cm : ideal for freestyle and wakestyle, suitable for 4 to 7 m² kites (up to 8 m² possible).
- 50 cm : perfect for 7 to 12 m² kites. Recent kites, which are more responsive, turn better than older models.
- 55 cm : recommended for 12 to 14 m² kites.
- 60 cm : recommended for large kites (15 to 20 m²). The extra width increases responsiveness thanks to wider rear line spacing.
Thanks to its huge depower, the Access+ school bar offers the largest throw on the market. It absorbs gusts effortlessly and lets you release all the power in waves. This advantage is invaluable for kitesurf schools : the rider stays in control, even when making steering mistakes. The system also compensates for length differences between front and rear lines found on some kites (e.g. Kahoona 2011, Slingshot, Genetrix or models made before 2008).
The trim handle makes it easy to reduce the kite’s power. Its integrated Velcro keeps the rope in place after adjustment : simple, fast, and always within reach.
The Access+ bar is the only bar on the market that is fully detachable. All components are individually replaceable : quick release, depower strap, pre-lines, lines, floats, pulleys, rings, etc.
No need to buy a new bar for a simple worn part : maintenance is simple and cost-effective.
The AKA 3 quick release meets AFNOR and ISO standards with a fast and safe push away system :
- Release under load effortlessly.
- Instant re-engagement in the water.
- Reinforced chicken loop and a line swivel that really works.
- Rotating tchoutch for freestyle.
This safety system has evolved over the years. All riders with older Kite Attitude bars can upgrade their gear with the latest quick release.
Kite Attitude offers several line lengths depending on your riding style :
- 20 to 22 m : optimal responsiveness in waves and strong wind.
- 24 m : more power delivery for riders over 80 kg or in light wind.
- With 4 to 7 m extensions : increase low-end range and power without changing kites.
Examples :
- 22 m + 7 m extensions = power delivery equivalent to a 15 m² kite.
- 15 m² + 7 m extensions = riding possible from 8/10 knots, even without a foil.

The Access+ bar is designed and assembled in France, with European components (lines, pulleys, cleats, etc.). The lines are sewn in France to guarantee impeccable quality and high responsiveness when a specific need arises. This choice of local manufacturing ensures strict quality control and a reduced carbon footprint.
The Kite Attitude universal bars compete with the most premium models on the market :
- Cast stainless steel bar center (stronger than CNC machining).
- Italian pulley resistant up to 700 kg.
- Reinforced chicken loop, which does not pinch under unhooked traction.
- Ultra-strong depower strap of 5.5 mm resistant up to 2 tons, versus only 3 to 4 mm with most brands.
Kite Attitude engineers chose a 22 mm wide bar center, offering smooth sliding and limiting rope wear. The depower strap can be covered with a heat-shrink sleeve for more comfort, without losing strength.
Line extensions, adjustable stopper, stop ball, and other accessories compatible with Kite Attitude universal bars.
