Hi North Kiteboarding Customers,

North Kiteboarding have just realized that the IRON HEART system is not 100% conpatable with all spreader bar of the shelf. If you are using a DAKINE or harness similar with a squashed hook, Please contact your local North Kiteboarding dealer. All North Kiteboarding dealers in Australia have been emailed in depth instruction to rectify any complication you may incur using the IRON HEART system with other products. The IRON HEART syste, work perfectly with all North Kiteboarding Products! If you are un-able to contact your North Kiteboarding dealer, please contact me directly at [email protected] , I will not be answering or comenting on forums concerning this issue.

this link to kiteforum.com has the information.

I was at the beach skimboarding today whilst it looked a bit light and stormy for kiting. A couple of guys headed out as some clouds came overhead and there was lightning and all that gear, i couldnt believe those guys had their kites in the sky. Anyway after the cloud passed and it was sunny i walked over to one of the guys and i said whats that and pointed to his bar.

I got zapped by not even touching it and only after wards i found out this is the IRON HEART. It wasn't a bad zapping but still pretty freaky and unexpected.

Didnt your mum ever tell you it was rude to point.

Especially at someones bar...

even more so when they are a stranger...

Sigh...Iron Heart...Centre of the Universe...Cuben Fibre...

God bless the marketers - where would we be without them.

I reckon the Golgafrinchams had the right idea with their "B" ark - for Hitchhikers Guide fans.

JB,

Are you saying that if you buy a North kite, then you need a North spreader bar to go with it ?

I know I said I was not going to answer any questions on the forum, and asked for any inquiries to be email direct to me! but I will answer this one only. Please if anyone has an inquiry regarding this issue, please email me [email protected] .

The issue is very small, and only really effect the new DAKINE spreader bar, and any other spreader bars that have been altered by the rider. The IRON HEART works fine on NAISH, PROLIMIT, OLD DAKINE, NORTH, ..., .... ,..... ,..... Spreader bars. The childish answers as you have already seen are why I am trying to keep it off the forum, as it does have the ability to be a serious issue. Which is why we are going to great lengths to try and inform the kite community. It has nothing to do with marketing or any other bull **** you guy toss on about. It is a legitimate warning of an unforseem circumstance. Please do not use this thread to hinder the importance of this issue.

kind regards,

JB

P.S. sorry for any spelling mistakes!

Spacemonkey - wtf did your post have to do with anything apart from the fact that it had the words "lion heart" in it?

Are you saying the lion heart was responsible for clearing the weather? If so JB can you please send me one?

Another well known fact about marketers is that they have absolutely no sense of humour.

pity if u got north dealers to tell people about this little problem...may save a life.

then again looks like it was only reluctantly put on here and hey u dont even want to answer any queries.....

the iron heart problem isnt even a problem as long as u know about it. just a pity we have to find out about these things from other forums.

Loopy,

I am happy to answer any quiries your interested to ask. I just don't do it on the forum as people sometimes misunderstand the things you say ! It's easier to get personal contacts and speak on the phone. Once again here is my email, [email protected]

loopchook, i think the shops only found out about it yesterday too.

most shops have despatched a hummer with 6 trained damage control experts to scour the countryside for dakine wearing rhino 6 owners.

This is correct, When I learnt of this from international, I sent it straight out to the Dealers and posted it on the forum. Everyone in Australia found out at the same time!

thanks for your concern loop! Hopefully by now every shop, owner, interested party knows! And as said it is easy to fix, and only effects a very small minority!

JB

SM,

Unfortunately we have all our stock for the season, So all our bar are of this design. You will have to alter his spreader bar as per the discription on Kiteforum! Or you should have some info in the mail and in your inbox witch I sent out on monday. If you need me to send you another please email [email protected] .

I did inform everone tho the best of my abilities as soon as I heard the news, unfortunately I normally have better things to do than sit reading forums, waiting to make **** out of nothing! (I realize the irony of saying this on the forum.) I only post on seabreeze to inform Australia of relevant issues.

Al the best,

regards,

JB
