I am getting conflicting info. I demo'd the fireball yesterday at event site. Used their harness.
They say, although they have not seen it, that you can take the plastic off the webbing off the ride engine harness, then us the fire ball spreader bar.

Any thoughts on this?

No problem! Just happened across both the video and your question in a serendipitous order.

Yes, although I don't think it mentions that in the factory specs or on the packaging. I've been tying the "hook" of my Ride Engine to the Fireball connection with spare Spectra line and duct tape before every session, and that seems to do the trick.

So my lady wanted the fireball as well. The spreader bar is too large to fit on her harness.
Any ideas if NP group will make a shorter spreader bar in the future.. Or is there a way to modify to fit ladies?

The Cabrinha bar that is used with the FireBall has a bunch of mounting options and comes in one length. NP Surf is coming out with FireBall compatible bars in at least 2 sizes. Maybe this fall? For small women if the current bar is too long, it would be possible to modify the harness so that the bar/harness could be tightened down. However, the load points would be on the side of the hips. Better to wait for the correct length bar for her.

NP Surf is coming out with two more sizes of the Fireball spreader bar very soon, the smaller size should be perfect for small ladies or super groms.
