I've got the LF CPR bar.
Below bar depower sucks!

I can only depower if landed on the edge of the window or when blasting down wind, pulling the power lines with one hand trying to pull in some depower strap with the other hand.
as an added bonus - once depowered, the pulled in strap frequently whacks my balls.

has anyone converted this piece of crap to above bar depower?
If yes, how easy is this?
how does it affect throw length?
where to get parts?

thanks!

So this isn't supposed to be a definitive guide to learning to KB or anything... just some ramblings... feel free to ignore.

My background: I had no wakeboarding or even skiing experience going in.

Learner Kite: I purchased a $100 learner kite from ebay before my official lessons. At the time of purchase, I was only flirting with the idea of taking kiteboarding up. I feel this massively helped me understand how to direct a kite and I didn't need to waste valuable lesson time with someone standing over my shoulder to achieve this.

Advice: Get one, and practice as much as you can.

Wakeboarding Park: I ended up going to Singapore for work. Whilst there (and after I did my 5hrs of official lessons) i went to the wakeboarding cable park. I spent 2 x 2hrs over the weekend. It's such a great way to learn your basic board skills. It's a controlled environment without pesky waves, other water-goers distracting you etc. It took me about 6 attempts of waterstarting (from a sitting position, on the foam learner board) to reliably get going instead of face planting.

Advice: If you can, get some time in at a water park

Learner video: Nothing beats doing it... but when you can't study. I've got my ipad loaded with a complete beginners video (Progression Kiteboarding). It takes you through it from woo to go. Spelling out each little step in much needed painstaking detail. Everyone learns differently, so might not work for you. I find I regularly rewatch as I progress to address different issues I have along the way.

Advice: Be a massive boring geek like me and watch these learner videos. A small bit will only make sense at first until you go through the motions.

Be pathological: Specifically, if there is a hint of wind, get out there. The more time as a learner you can spend putting up and taking down your kite, the more you it will be routine.

Okay, this is all pretty crap advice, and I'm even crapper on the water. But these things have helped me. I hope you progress well.
