Pansh depower bar

A while back I was looking at the Pansh Aurora which is a closed cell depower kite, one of my concerns was that Pansh sell this as kite only without a bar...

Well Pansh are now selling a depower bar, it comes in 4 sizes from 50cm-65cm -

Product details - 

"This bar is now set for 4 line use. It is suitable for snowkiting, surfing and landkiting. Riders of all levels, from professors to newflyers, will all gain substantial advantages from this control bar.

This bar features a quick release on the depower loop and a quick release on the safety leash. The primary safety system is designed to meet the standards of safety release loads ensuring an easy release at all times.

Please note this bar includes a handle pass safety leash."

Still no option on the Pansh website to buy the Aurora as a ready to fly package with the bar and lines, but if you spend over US$499 then you can get a bar for free. It could be an option for those of us that can't afford a Flysurfer Speed. But would like to see a serious review on the Aurora as a complete set up before I spend my money!

Pansh Aurora - RTF?

After seeing in the description that the Pansh Aurora has already to fly package I was thinking wow two closed cell de-powers for less than $500 - yes please!

But unfortunately they don't sell the RTF package - yet!

Pansh Aurora

I really like flying my Ozone Manta II 10m, flying on a bar in the buggy is great especially with my SB Harness. I have been looking at other de-power options and they all seem quite expensive and definitely way beyond my budget. Then I came across the latest kite from Pansh - the Aurora...

Info from the Pansh website-

It's a great looking kite and the colours are fully customisable. I have read a few reviews about the Aurora and they are mixed, some talk about issues with the bridle needing modifications and the pulleys. I would also be interested to see pictures of the bar/ready to fly set up. 

I know that Pansh are continually updating/modifying their designs to improve the performance and handling of their kites - all based on customer feedback. I have contacted them to see if I get some more info on the bar and bridles

The Pansh Aurora could be a serious contender for my next kite - well maybe kites! As at present they have a buy one get one free offer!
