Abstract: A spreader bar lateral kite control has a moveable kite control member, which moves laterally across the spreader bar and allows for changing a direction of kite pull with respect to a user's body. The spreader bar is spaced away from the user's body in a center and is attached to the user's harness at the ends. The distance from the kite control to the boarder may change from a long distance d1 to a shorter distance d2 when the control moves to a lateral position.
