5.4. HANDLEPASS-LEASH
Handlepasses are tricks, where you pass the bar from one hand to the other behind
your back.
Because of the relaunchable Safetysystem, the FLYSURFER KITE-LEASH can be
used as a HANDLEPASS-LEASH. Attach a line to the harness, that runs around your
back and then add an extension for the FLYSURFER-LEASH. It is also important to
install an additional, easy-to-reach quick release, in order to release from the kite in
an emergency.
FLYSURFER doesn’t recommend using a ”SUICIDE-LEASH“, which is directly
attached to the depowerloop, because it prevents a releasing of the safety. A
SUICIDE-LEASH is only for professionals, who do handlepasses high in the air.
Please check that the leash is never tangled up. This is especially important
when using the ROTOR-LEASH.
The leash mustn’t be wound around the depowerloop as it can seriously affect the
functionality of the Safetysystem. Please also check for tangles during riding and
unwind them, if necessary by hand.
