RE: Is Kiteboarding Safe?

in #sports6 years ago

I've never tried kiteboarding, but have witnessed a few face plants in the sand... And do NOT attach the kite leach on the back of the harness...very dangerous as it can prevent you from releasing it. Attach in front or on the side of the harness.

Sort:  

it sounds like the people you witnessed didn't take a lesson with us. ;)
As far as leash placement, it is a matter of personal preference where to attach on the harness, but some would argue it's safer to have it in front of you for easy access in case you need to release the kite.
