Arrived early to modify my North kite bar. Removed extensions from steering lines and cut power lines by 3m - terminated with sheathing and figure eight knot.
After wind arrived at noon, I got 1.5hrs to test my shortened kite lines in steady SW 16-20 in silky smooth water on 12m+surfboard. Only 4 of us had the whole river to ourselves. Super fun laying down fast turns on a surfboard.
Finally happy with my resurrected North bar with shortened lines ... after that a-hole newbie cut our lines with his tomahawking kite.
