• CONTROL BAR

Maniac 2.0 Bar

Continuing on the success of the innovative "RG 3.0 Bar" kite control system, Wainman Hawaii has focused on quality, material refinements and ease of use to provide riders the perfect fusion of safety, simplicity and direct control in flight with the ManiaC 2.0 Bar.

Boasting an “out the bag” 5th line setup, the ManiaC 2.0 bar can also be converted to a 4 line bar to be used on the ManiaC 2.0.  A new harness loop system with a unique shape and construction provides abundant stiffness and ease of use when hooking in after riding unhooked.  Thin bar shaft diameter with an all new ergonomic comfortable grip provides superior handling efficiency combined with a new precision engineered metal center piece for an even better fit of the buffer into the bar shaft.

The combination of all new components has resulted in one of the safest, robust, versatile and ergonomic bars in the industry, offering several setup options to match every rider’s performance need.

Set up

SUICIDE CONNECTION

The "Suicide Connection" set-up is for experienced riders only. It allows for unhooked riding and letting go of the bar without the kite "flagging" even if you activate the quick release. After you convert the bar to "Suicide Connection" by attaching the suicide connector to the buffer, attach safety leash to the ring on the suicide connector. When you unhook and let go of bar, the kite will depower the distance of the depower main line. If you activate your quick release, you will still be attached to the kite (safety leash) and you must activate the safety leash to release the kite.

FLAG-OUT

The "flag-out" set-up is standard and reliable set-up and is geared towards the rider that wants 100% depower and engages his/her quick release in rare emergency occasions. In this option you attach the bar leash to the "safety" ring on buffer of the bar. When engaging the quick release in case of an emergency, the bar leash will stay connected to one of the front lines and "flag" the kite (depowers the kite 100%). In case of further danger activate your quick release on the safety leash to totally separate from the kite.

PARA-SUICIDE

The “Para-Suicide” set-up is for experienced riders only and gives you the same benefit of Suicide Connection with the benefit of flagging your kite if you activate your Quick Release. It meets the needs of expert riders who ride unhooked and don’t want to lose their kite. It allows for unhooked riding and letting go of the bar without “flagging” the kite. After you convert the bar to “Para- Suicide Connection” by attaching the suicide connector to the safety bungee and feeding it through the metal ring on the harness loop, attach the safety leash to both the ring on the suicide connector and metal ring on harness loop. When you unhook and let go of bar, the kite will depower the distance of the depower main line. If you activate your quick release, you will “flag” your kite as the leash is attached to the safety bungee that flags the kite on a front line. Refer to the ManiaC 2.0 manual to convert your bar to the “Para-Suicide” setup.

ONE RELEASE

The "One Release" set-up is based on the simple principle that in case of major danger, there should be one ultimate kite release and the kite will be completely detached from the rider. When choosing this setup you have to be aware that when your activate your QR, your kite will fly away. Make sure you don't ride upwind from anyone when activating the QR to avoid harming anyone downwind. "One Release" can be ridden with the "Dingy Guy" or without It. Attach the safety leash to metal ring on the harness loop (same ring that the "Dingy Guy" is attached to). When you unhook and let go of the bar, the kite will depower the distance of the depower main line. If you activate your quick release, you will be completely separated from the kite. In certain circumstances, you may have time and choose to grab the Safety Handle on the buffer while activating the QR which will flag out the kite on one of the front lines.

4 LINE DOUBLE DEPOWER

The ManiaC 2.0 can be used in a 4 line setup. Refer to the ManiaC 2.0 manual to convert your bar to 4 lines. The 4 line "Double Depower" set-up is for experienced riders only. It allows for unhooked riding and letting go of the bar without the kite "flagging" even if you activate the quick release. After you convert the bar to the "Double Depower" setup, attach the safety leash to the ring on the buffer. Activating the double depower (when you unhook and let go of the bar), shortens your center lines double the distance of the depower main line. If you activate your quick release, you will still be attached to the kite (safety leash) and you must activate the safety leash to release the kite. Refer to the ManiaC 2.0 manual to convert your bar to the “Double Depower” setup.
