You should have bought a left handed bar !

Go back to where you got it,and ask them to exchange it for a left handed bar.

Hey SPRUCE, just for you, this was only a joke, I thought you would have been a bit confused. Cause we all know that you can turn a right handed bar into a left handed bar if you change hands!

Being left handed!! Does this also mean that you have trouble giving way to the right when you drive?

surfer 62, go to the hardware and ask for a jar of elbow grease, once applied to your bar , i'm sure it will help solve the problem.

Steve at Kitepower has a good range of left handed bars, as well as left handed screwdrivers, and some really neat striped paint to trick up your board.

You guys should know that it is a medical fact that 75% of all left handers are Gay

Wow, and what's the percentage of the right handers? Larger, smaller or equal?

According with your claim, 25% of the population is Gay?

Mmmmm too much time on my hands, now that depends on a point of view, not my decision but I cant argue with professionals.

The best part is that the you taxpayers are funding my spare time and excentricities Now that's a big word for you all and no spellcheck on seabreeze either, correct me if I'm wrong, maybe "my delusions" is more apt.

Hang on, I'm a taxpayer too, that makes me actually self employed, no more working for the maam.

Hey, get a bucket of blue sparks while you are getting the left handed bar.

75% of lefties are horses hoofs? Damn, did you conduct the survey?

Listen all will be OK. I am left handed I overcame my problems with the bar by not touching it any more. Use the force the force. And if all else fails paint the red side of the bar yellow and the yellow side red never I repeat never turn the bar around and if it is not red and yellow take it back its not right

you will also need to switch the straps/pads on your board ( twin tip only)
otherwise you'll be in all sorts of grief

Its not funny when you guys take the mickey out of lefties. Us lefties suffer big time.

Do you know how long it took me to find a left handed board? or a left handed harness? Almost nobody makes them. To top it off, on saturday I snapped a line on my left handed bar and the guys from kitepower said they'll only have left handed lines towards the end of the year so I can't kite now till then.

I even had to import my car from the states because there are no left hand drives in oz and I wasn't sure if I could drive with only my right hand.

To top it off now, my mistress is pregnant because I ran out of left handed condoms and the pharmacy keeps referring me onto some psychiatrist when I come there to buy more and the psychiatrist says he is not sure why because he doesn't even sell condoms.

laugh all you want, its tough being a lefty...
