Hi All,

So I am the guy who buys the same board that loses on ebay, takes kayaks out and finds the board and whatever...

So most recently I lost my 2007 Naish Boxer Bar and Frenchman's Bar. It is for my 2007 Boxer SLE. Question is this... I have a 9m 2006 X-Bow with pullies on the bar. I don't think this will work with the Boxer SLE.

Where can I find a bar and lines that will work for this kite?
NE one know if there is a 14/15 Naish Boxer somewhere I can pickup for cheap and then use the bar for both?

Any help is appreciated. PDX Monkey Boy offered to let me borrow (lose) one of the bars to another kite but I'm not sure whether this is going to work. In the mean time I'll be kooking out.

Dooode - that blows man!!

Just go with a two line bar from a trainer - it would make for a very exciting session!!!

I think the cab, bar would work. The boxer SLE wirks in both 2:1 and 1:1 be sure to check the bridle attachment to the back of the kite for the right 2:1 setting and that the front and back lines on the bar are more or less equal in length when powered....if you are unsure get somebody that is more experienced to have a look at the setup....might not be optimal, but it'll easily work...

most experienced riders will see if the kite is oversheeted....
