I don't unhook when kiting and kind of hate the long safety leash flapping about - recently I saw the ozone short leash and that made me think of all of the old safety leashes I seem to have accumulated over the years in the garage cupboard.
Who uses a long leash and how many time do you actually unhook ?
I also had (until about 4 years ago) my 'long leash' attached to the grab handle at the back of the harness - until it was pointed back then that when dragged by the kite I wouldn't be able to get to the final safety release - I hadn't thought of that for my first 2 years of kiting - thanks for the 'safety lessons' as a beginner!!
A short safety leash attached to the spreader bar will always be within reach.
This is what I've made up from the bits and pieces Ive had lying around. and its so much better to kite with :-)
Who else is using a short leash these days??
