Yes they wear a leach, BUT are they using a leash for the kite, my bet it NO ;), so when they do get hammer the bail on the kite they keep the board to paddle in on.
yeh i got rid of the leash its about 70% say dont 30% say do andi just had my second heamatoma on my leg now .. ouch so its gone and i gotta admit i feel more confident boosting big jumps with out fear of the projectile behind me when i funk it up :) thanks for advice kids
I used to use one of those Reel Leash jiggers, until I wrecked one day and the board *still* managed to come back at me, just missed my head, went *through* my lines above the bar and landed about 5 feet in front of me. I knew nothing about it, until I went WTF when I was trying to work out why the leash was going up over my bar and out in front of me. A mate nearby yelled out and told me how close the board came to my head (no helmet or vest), so I took it off immediately and never used it again.
