View full detailsYour control bar is the heart of your kiteboarding system — the direct link between you and the kite, the tool that communicates every gust, turn, and power stroke. A high-quality control bar doesn't just improve your riding; it enhances Safety, responsiveness, and overall confidence on the water.
Welcome to the Elite Water Sports Control Bars Collection, where every bar has been selected for reliability, performance, and compatibility with the kiteboarding brands riders trust most. Whether you're learning your first body drag in Tampa Bay, progressing into upwind riding at the Skyway Bridge, or sending powered loops in winter winds, the proper control bar dramatically improves your experience.
Here, you'll find the best bars from Core, North, Naish, Ozone, Reedin, and Slingshot, each engineered with advanced safety features, durable materials, and precise handling.

✔ Steering precision
✔ Power delivery

✔ Freestyle capability
✔ Load management

Larger bars = slower, more controlled turning
