- Short version: At 55 cm, this length minimizes slack between you and the kite. It's a favorite for freestyle and unhooked riding.
- Safety equipment: Your leash is not just a comfort accessory. It's what keeps your kite from flying away after a release.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The role of the safety leash
When you release, your kite flags out but stays put. It remains attached to you by the leash. This prevents it from drifting towards the beach, other riders, or out to sea. On a busy spot, it's essential safety equipment for everyone, not just you.
Why the mechanism matters
A leash is there for when things go wrong. You might be tired, in the water, and often have numb hands. An opening system that demands precision or strength becomes useless. This one opens with a simple thumb push, which is exactly what you can still manage in those conditions. Make sure to check its function regularly, both dry and without pressure.
