Abstract
A Kite Control Bar with Ninety-Degree Handles and Fail-Safe Release System is disclosed. The kite control bar utilizes a metal bar with removable metal handles that are attached to the kite control bar at a ninety-degree angle. The kite control bar also incorporates a release system that is a pull pin located on the kite control bar. If required to de-power the kite, the release system will release the kite control lines which will deflate the kite and negate the kites strong pull force. The metal handle attached to the kite control bar at ninety-degrees in conjunction with the release system will significantly improve the control of the kite when performing the sport of kite surfing or kite boarding.
