They had this full selection of chicken loops last year, whilst I think that's really good it isn't a game changer nor is it claiming to be

Sling shot have also had different sizes and metal rope sliders for at least one season.
Not a game changer.

Freeride wave and freestyle were available last year, the wakestyle with the extra large loop from wakestyle bar and a really long leash is a new addition for the 2019 season.

the slider is awesome. I have used it for 12 months and can't fault it.

I'm getting one, I got unhooked yesterday after a stack which led to a five line powered up kite pretzel. I think I'm done with hooks, a new ride engine slider harness and surf loop is the go for fathers day.

Tried a low friction ring yesterday, smoother and easier than the Dynabar sliding hook (no bungee I guess) but it'd be nice to have it built into the CL.

I am very pleased to see a more diverse range of connection options available on the market

rope slider is sick! can't wait to give it a go.

perhaps its better on second thought to have a dedicated wave harness instead of wave bar...probably cheaper too.
