i'm curious to know if any of you keyboard warriors have kited alongside Slave ??? not advocating the non use of a leash, makes sense to use one, but lots of angst tends to follow Slave and seems unwarranted.....unless someone has personal experience with Slave being unsafe. Other than that Slave makes a call not to use a leash, so what ?? Most blokes with their neurons working at aleast 50% will wear one !!

Yep and I am concerned. He did not use on the fly sheeting back in the day as well. Not sure if he does now. Just had a homemade setup with knots. Slave is special rides waves on a twin tip

Ahhmmmm. You blokes are aware that your safety death leash does have a release on it aren't you?

Kind of undermines the whole death leash loose kite debate really doesn't it?

That release is pretty handy if your downed Kite is about to get cleaned up by a decent set wave.

Most blokes come with a short leash, which their wives are currently using

Thanks - I spat a mouthful of coffee all over my keyboard when I read this post... Serious contender for "best one line joke of the year"

On a related note, a while back I gave these as a matching his and hers set of books as a wedding present.

I fkn love leashes....leash my board, leash my kite....have lost too many boards and I really don't kite inside big waves, and I love it windy........my kite is my motor. Love this ****..........who give a fkn whatever, go out and do it, but don't mess someone else up.
