You could always have one

You could always have one made from aluminum and then screw to the fin mounting screws. Just a thought.

Not worried about the mount.

Not worried about the mount. oh well.

It was a pretty big loop, for me at least, video doesn't even do it justice. Pulled less hard on the bar to try and get a bigger loop with the kite, it worked. kite came down pretty low and with a ton of power (you can see in the video how much distance i cover in a fraction of a second). Landed it, really hard, then saw the cam on the leash and dropped everything (including kite) to make sure it didn't break off it.

Was a great day all-in-all. Going to stick to helm/line mounts only.
