Kitesurfing Quick Release Mechanism

Kitesurfing , also known as kiteboarding , involves using a power kite to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (which is like a wakeboard). A kitesurfer or kiteboarder uses a board with foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite to propel himself and the board across the water. The sport is still in its infancy, but is rapidly growing in popularity. In 2006, the number of kitesurfers has been estimated at around 150,000 to 200,000. The sport is becoming safer due to innovations in kite design, safety release systems, and instruction. Many riding styles have evolved to suit different types of riders and conditions, such as wake style, wave riding, freestyle, jumping, and cruising. Kitesurfing is one of many forms of kite propulsion, which include kite landboarding, snowkiting, kite buggying, kite skateboarding, kite jumping, and using kites to propel sea kayaks. A kite can even propel a large ship.

Hi my name is Yaron Rasta and we are here to show you how to use the Quick Release. This is Odell and he is going to be our assistant today. What we will show you guys is how to use the blade 2007 Quick Release Mechanism.

[Music playing]

The main reason to use the Quick Release is when we are in trouble, in danger and we cannot control the kite anymore and what we ant to do is get rid of the kite.

The good thing about the Quick Release is that you do not get rid of the kite you only get rid of power.

Let us show them how we do it!

Odell is in trouble now and what he is doing is grabbing on the quick release sleeve and lets go of it. You see the kite completely lose its power and it falls down but still it is connected to the leash line to the chicken leaf

[Demonstration]

To reconnect the quick release and hold on the leash line, fix the T-powered line and inserts the pin inside the metal hook and put over the sleeve. Make sure that you put the sleeve all the way down and lock it.

Now grab on the bar and make sure you are right hand in the black side and your left hand on red and you are ready to go back kite.

I hope you learned to use the quick release mechanism, see you next time.
