The Navigator Freestyle is a 5-Line Control Bar engineered for use with a 5-Line kite, such as the 2025 Pulse. It has the same refined ergonomics, durability, comfort and tactile control as the Navigator, updated for Freestyle with a 5th line, Freestyle Loop and HandlePass leash. Offering fast, safe release and intuitive single-action reload in all conditions, the patented Connect Quick Release (QR) and leash comply with ISO Standard 21853:2020. You're connected intuitively to your kite by industry-leading SK99 Dyneema lines from Liros for precise performance. The blue 5th-Line attaches to a single bridle on the Modern-C shape Pulse kite, which is loaded to support the shape and ensure the safe relaunch of the kite. The blue colour makes it easier to identify when running your lines out. We've designed the Navigator with a comfortable ergonomic grip for a natural grasp, and the tactile offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is orientated correctly. The bar features a unique micro-textured compound bar grip and colour-coded bar ends, leader tubing and line retainer pull tabs which give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green). We supply the Navigator Freestyle Control System with the Long Freestyle loop without a security finger for easier unhooking. However, the Navigator Freestyle does feature the North Modular Toolless Interloop System with LockGuard, which can be used with any of the Navigator Harness Loops*. Simply push, twist, pull, lock and go. Loops are made from optimised TPU material for flex and durability, and the flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of the loop. The Freestyle leash ring allows you to partially flag out so you don't get tangled lines - it is a releasable suicide - you can still pull the QR and the kite will flag out. We've also supplied the Navigator Freestyle Control System with a longer HandlePass Leash for unhooked riding. Raising the bar on safety and comfort, the HandlePass leash has a refined sand-repellent geometry, and the leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure the correct orientation is maintained when released for consistent, reliable release and reload in all conditions. The Navigator Freestyle is available in one 38-43cm bar size, which we recommend for all Freestyle/Wakestyle kite sizes. *Navigator Pro Harness Loops are not compatible with the Navigator Freestyle Control System.
