2022 North Navigator Kiteboarding Bar Review (Raw)

A raw review of the 2022 North Navigator bar based on my own impressions after about 4 days of use. Made this because I didn't find any non-North, non-store reviews of the bar. Bar was purchased from Real Watersports in NC with my own money and opinions are my own alone. If you are considering this bar check out video, and especially the last section to make sure you're OK with that center line unswivel as I found it to be a deal-breaker. I had hoped it would loosen up with use but see no evidence of that. I was told by Real that the swivel is operating "as designed" so I don't have much hope that this will be resolved.

Apologies in advance for the wording mistakes and the "umms".

Kite safe and have fun!

Most brands want you to fly there kites on there bar it's a simple fact of business economics.
I think you might be expecting a bit much from a totally overpriced industry!!
I used to have core Xr5/6/7/8 and wow the corners they cut is ridiculous!
If you are expecting a kite bar set up ready for any kites you will struggle to find it!
I've had every brand under the sun and non auto swivel is I assure you is the least of your worries 😂
