OPERATING THE KITE LEASH QUICK RELEASE
WARNING: Only activate the Kite Leash Quick Release in
a serious emergency situation. Once you activate the Kite

activate the Kite Leash Quick Release, always remember
there is a strong possibility that you may not be able to
retrieve your kite. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that
you will be required to swim, or need assistance to get
back to shore.

WARNING:
Check to make sure the Kite Leash handle is
securely in position before launching your kite.
Some harnesses-to-leash connections may not
be suitable to ensure a perfect release of the
Naish leash. Prior to use, be sure your leash-to-
harness connection releases completely when
activating the release handle and that no surface
prevents the Kite Leash Loop from sliding over the
connection point to the harness.
