Default Sure Fire Quick release

I had a line snap on me once with a 11 meter FUEL blowing 25 knots! It kite lopped over and over draggin me down the beach over shells, rocks, roots, etc... I pulled that damn red release over and over as I bounced off the beach like a rag doll. Finally someone jumped on me and someone else jumped on my kite.

That day, I ordered a SLINGSHOT SURE FIRE QUICK RELEASE! I haven't been yanked further then 10 feet since. I am waiting for the day when it rusts out and fails on me... I've seen this happen before and I know it is eminent. At that point, I will just buy another one.
