I tried using my hook straight onto my leash belt, found it not very comfortable when loaded up. But does work. I like the ability to spin the hook round.

Nice one DJ.

I have been using a kite harness spreader bar on my Axis waist leash and it works ok.
JB, where can I get the Naish handle harness line in Melbourne?
I have been using a kite depower loop and it keeps hitting me in the face.

Dakine make a short hook that slides over a webbing strap - from the Maniac sliding spreader bar / kite harness, dates back a bit . Not sure how avail it is, I had to get mine from overseas, from murrays.com I think

Nice video David! On a side note, have you ever weighed your Naish 125? Trying to find out its weight.

Cheers

A friend ordered a couple on line from the US.. It's the DaKine Maniac sliding hook.

Kite republic has access to them, or you can get them through our website - www.windgenuity.com.au/products/wingsurfer/

The Mono line is nice and stiff. Can be a little long for some, but the idea is you can still bring your wing up (i.e. when over powered). I like to do a full loop around the handle then thread it through which makes it smaller and still very stiff.

I think a wider belt would be good, but on a long journey and with strong winds, I think you'll find the leash belt uncomfortable.

Ride safe,

JB
