So few words...that unsurprisingly, say very little.
A typical User post.
Now, I'm not saying 'don't wear a leash'.
Not me.
But a kite leash is not the magic pill.

Unfortunately a kite leash was the instrument of death in the case of a recent fatality in South Africa.
RIP dude.

Sustainable growth in the sport of kitesurfing will be the bottomline in safety and access.
And what is sustainable growth ?
Growth that will satisfy the needs of the present,
without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their needs.

Enjoy.

I find it sad and sick that you're prepared to blame a leash on someone's death and use it as an excuse to not use one yourself.

The reason for the death was a heart attack, whether it wouldn't have happened if the guy hadn't been dragged is a different question altogether, but there are a 100 ways to attach a leash without the clip used which may or may not have caused his heart attack.

do you use a chicken loop? How can you do that, there have been deaths because of chicken loops. Rather ride unhooked all the time, a chicken loop is not a magic pill.
