Yeah... my point really was just how fast real kitemares usually happen... and that DISTANCE is your friend.. you can't assume you'll always have time to pull the release, unhook, or crash the kite.

This guy was just "holding it down" like any of us would do... and then bam.

Problem is he was only one line length from shore and the winds were onshore to boot.

This could happen on any kite... it's just easier to have it happen on C kites. This could have been a 16 waroo inverting when it spiked to 30, or a 9M bow kite looping in 35 when a bridle or the bar snapped.

Distance distance distance... that was my point

Donkey dick hard to remove??? huh? You just grab the CL with one finger under it and pull it. It pops out instantly. Thats far better than unhooking accidentally on the beach and BAM full power and unhooked surprise!

bayflite is hardcore oldschool jokin with ya.
