Cabrinha Quicklink IDS control bar 2012

Cabrinha redesigned the their IDS control bar system in 2012 and have made several significant improvements to improved the ergonomic design and reduced clutter.

Features of 2012 Cabrinha Quicklink IDS control Bar include:

    • Internal swivel that allows flying lines spin in unison with landing lines and a fully spinning centreline landed system

    • Spinning leash connection that allows leash to rotate around harness loop.

    • Soft EVA bar ends have smooth curves and edges

    • Bar ends lowered and widened to accommodate line set winding

    • Floating bar ends provided buoyancy. Bar floats with lines attached.

    • Centreline and landing line internalised in tubing - declutters and protects line from abrasion

    • Wider centre hole fitting - steering and sheeting smoother and reduces friction when steering

    • Recoil spring positions bungy trim adjustors within reach, and helps unspin bar
