1. Does it really feel like flying a kite?
TrainBar is not a kite simulator. It recreates the pull and the bar feel you need to train positions and board-off movements, so you can focus on your body instead of on flying the kite. That is exactly what makes it effective for breaking down tricks.
2. Can I train hooked in with my harness?
Yes. The central line ends with a loop you can hook into, so you can train with your harness on and reproduce the same position you have on the water.
3. Do I train with my own board?
Yes, and we recommend it. Training with your own board in your hands helps you get used to its weight, size and grip, so every movement translates directly to your next session.
4. Which tricks can I train with TrainBar?
TrainBar is designed for board-off tricks and all their variations, from your first board-off to the most technical ones. It is also great to work on body position, grabs and the timing of each movement.
5. How do I find the right height?
The bar should sit where it would be while riding, with your arms slightly bent when you hold it. Use the adjustable hook and the length of the sling to get close, then fine-tune with the top hub until it feels natural.
6. Which sling should I use?
It depends on the size and height of your anchor point. Short slings work best on beams and bars, where you want the bar high. Longer slings are ideal for thick branches or high anchor points where you need extra length to reach the right height.
7. Can I use it indoors?
Yes. Garages, gyms and any space with a solid beam or ceiling-mounted pull-up bar work perfectly, as long as you have enough room around you to move with your board.
8. Can TrainBar replace time on the water?
No, and it is not meant to. TrainBar makes your time on the water more productive: you arrive already knowing the movement, so you spend your session landing tricks instead of learning them.
9. Can several riders share the same TrainBar?
Yes. The height can be adjusted in seconds, which makes TrainBar perfect for kite schools, coaches and groups of friends training together.
10. How should I take care of it?
After using it at the beach, rinse it with fresh water to remove sand and salt, and let it dry before storing it. Check hook, slings and bungee regularly and replace any part that shows signs of wear.
