Hey guys,

Can't find any reviews about this setup - is anyone apart from Hadlow using it, and what do you think?

Wakestyle bar + 6 line Hadlow setup

Must be something to it as I've noticed Switch kites are selling the kit for their new wakestyle kite. Generally 90% of the new innovation is all bs....... But when another brand comes on board I'll have a good look at it. Plenty of info on the switch blog sites.....

Kite feels a lot more powered (even when you're not) you get wider turn arc, the slack comes on at a different time, and your depower is limited on the bar a bit. It works. Just try both and then stick with whatever you pick as you get good on whatever you ride consistently.

Thanks mate - and just to confirm, that's the 6 line setup? not just the wakestyle bar?

I've got the bar, and have been running it on my 9 and 7 meter vegas, but in 5th line mode, as only the 9 meter had the hadlow points on it. But just the wakebar made the 9 and specially the 7 more rideable than before. I think I'm happy with the 12 meter on the normal bar in slow mode too.

Do you ride all of them on the wake + 6th line?

The VEGAS is sold as a loaded 5 line kite.

If you want (for say big boosting) you can run a stock standard 5th element bar.

Next if you want the feel of the 5th element, but want some added wake features, then you goto the wakebar.

If you want full power, limited rider input and a more wake ability then anything else, then you go the 6line.

All can be changed really easily and all vegas kites can be changed, not just the hadlow edition.

If your keen to try the 6line. talk to your closest dealer and we can organize a demo.
