Hey, need advice on using different bars on different kites. I know the recommendation is not to mix and match brands with different kites but I am simply too small to use the Cabrinha control bars.

I have given this gear to my girlfriend who's about 75kgs, 178cm tall and she now has a 2010 Cabrinha Crossbow and a 2009 Switchblade. She finds that she also can't reach the bar at full depower. The lines to one snapped yesterday after trying to show her the depower - power function, but now that the time has come to buy new lines, question is, can she use a different bar altogether, and if so, what are your comments?

Unless she spends $450 on that Susi Mai cabrinha bar for women, which is meant to be better for shorter arms/women.

I've got a 2011 Naish Park and love the control bar with that.

Any ideas? comments? help?

much appreciated
