Practicing unhooked today things were going ok Confused just popping is difficult Confused i'll stick to my guns, so anyway the one time the bar gets ripped from my hands 3/4 of the way to WS my leash goes flying off with it. go figure. never did figure out how the leash released as the release is behind my back Confused so thanks man you saved my day Thumb's Up. towed me back to my bar where i managed to get it untangled enough to relaunch, then delivered my board Thumb's Up Thumb's Up. i just wanted to say thanks again Exclamation my apologies for the leash thing i really don't know how it happened if it happens again i'm getting something different!

Way to puh yourself Jacob! The leash thing is just a part of the game, some leashes work better then others. Be sure to check it each time making sure the tube is closed all the way.

It can snag on your harness when you loose the bar and release. Happens alot with some leashes.

Jacob, you didn't even look a bit stressed out after that mass - it had to be all that beer of yours Smile. It sure helped me to have a great session.

Jacob I brought your board to you...but the blonde guy on the 14m had your back pulling you to your kite.

Also, your kite was and inverted tangled mess but you hooked back in and rode it back out. Legit!

Also, kudos to the guy on the pink waroo who was helping another downed rider....dropped his kite and lost his LE air.....but proceeded to blow it up with his MOUTH and rode away. Never say die!!!
