You can get an adjustable stopper ball from any slingshot dealer including Kitepower, they are not on the website yet, but we do have them in stock.
The easiest way to get the bar closer to you is to shorten your front lines, by adjusting your trim strap - pull it in - hey presto the bar is now closer!.
It makes no difference where you shorten a chicken line, but most bars it is easiest, and only possible where the chicken rope ties onto the trim strap or cleat above the bar or from the top.
It is important that all kiters know how to tune a bar though, it is not rocket science, and although there are a lot of confused opinion about bar tuning, it is really a very simple matter.
Call into a shop, see if they will help you (we do, for free) or look for someone at your local who looks like they know what they are doing and ask for some help.
