I'm still learning kitesurfing so maybe a good reason for this - why don't you use those slow retracting leash thingies u can get -
would save a fortune in boards?

tim,
i'm gutted as well thought it was my slingshot.
my board was lost when i was out well powered up out back tryng to get up wind then a gust hit me and became detached from the board
unable to body drag up wind. if i had a leash. it would have either snapped or the board ( pulled out footstraps, handles, harness
attachment on old board) would have rebounded back and taken my head off!!!
those long reels are a pain you end up wrapped up in them.
loosing a board is a numbers game. the more time on the water the more chance it will happen.

nice one paul
yeah I thought it was a cool move, you have to wait for a spring tide just as it's ebbing and then hook the board on the back of a
passing porpoise - easy really!
