I remember coming in to the spit overpowered on my 2-line 7meter with no one to catch the kite. I let go of the bar to flag the kite, but the wrist leash was wrapped around the line winder on the end of the bar. I got dragged by the wrist through the shallow water for 4-5 kite loops before the kite hit the water and the leash untangled itself.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
