Navigator PRO Control System
The safest, most universally compatible, high-performance control system ever. Now auto-unwinding, stronger and lighter, with unrivaled comfort and grip in all conditions. At North, we know from experience that trust in your control system means everything ? especially when you are boosting. The connection point between you and your power source can make or break a session. We?ve poured more than 25 years of research, three years of development, and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of on-water testing into this system, redesigning and improving 70% of the 130 parts that go into it. The Nav Pro is an evolution of our original Navigator Control System, clean, simple and elegant. Our brief was clear: we wanted a bar that was safe, comfortable and easy to use, even while performing at the highest level of competition. With modular spare parts that are easy to replace, ensuring the lifespan of your control system can be extended beyond the industry-norm. The new pro-version of the Navigator is now safer, stronger, lighter, easier to use and packed full of features - like the all-new auto unwind.

thanks for the review, Quick Questoin: is there an extra coating/ protection on the lines, where high-V Distributor sits? Can the Duotone distrubitor be used or does it have to be from North?

[@AKJammer1]

Jeff forgot to mention it, but there's an adapter that you can get with the bar to make it High-V. It still won't work with Ozone, but will with any other High-V kite. Really good universal bar. Too bad I just bought the Slingshot Joy Stick, since all I do is foil anymore. 🙂

Hey @gianoliver7103 there is no extra coating required when using the North high V distributor on North flying lines. The running surfaces are rounded and smooth. We have not tested with the Duotone high-V distributer on North Navigator flying lines so I'm not sure how it will wear long term.
