Flysurfer FORCE Control bar

The FORCE³ is Flysurfer's all-round control bar, covering most of their kite range. One size with adjustable width, 47 to 55 cm, and the headline is the certification.

ISO 21853:2020. Not "meets standards" but a certified product. The LINK quick release was tested dry, wet, sandy, cold and freezing, loaded and unloaded. The body is predominantly red with no sharp edges — so you can see it under stress and so it will not trap fingers. The bars are assembled in a facility certified for the Olympic Games.

Quick release with a bearing. The LINK has an integrated ball-bearing swivel, so lines untwist freely with minimal friction. The chicken loop clicks in.

Modular eyelet — for riders who rotate. The bar shaft converts from automatic to manual untwisting: two metal pins come out with an Allen key. Without a line separator the depower lines wear less, and you can steer and depower simultaneously without restriction. The maker recommends this setting for technical big air tricks and board-offs with multiple rotations.

Winders. Fibreglass-reinforced polyamide with moulded EVA padding. The centrepiece pops out at the press of a button, giving access to backline adjustment — attachment points and line length, set to your kite and your habits.

Two limits Flysurfer state outright. First: the FORCE³ is not B-Safe compatible — if you need the five-line system, that is the CONNECT³. Second: it is not recommended for the PEAK 2.5 or the HYBRID 2.5 and 3.5.

Lines. 17+3 m supplied plus 3 m extensions, up to 23 m total. Depower throw 50 cm. Weight 1.08 kg. The maker publishes two detailed line-length tables — one for foil, snowkite and buggy riders, one for twintip and wave — with a row per kite and size. Tell us your model and we will check it against them.

Chicken loop. The small loop is standard, for hooked-in riding. A freestyle safety ring and a larger loop are available separately for unhooked riding.

In the box: the bar, LINK quick release, 17+3 m line set, 3 m extension set, PLEASURE bar bag, short safety leash, safety guide.
