Laurent Borgna is French, a teacher and he kitesurfs regularly in the north of France… But apart from simply going out kitesurfing, Laurent has also been racking his brains up there for ways to make the sport simpler and safer ! His latest invention, a pivoting leash which is also part of the quick release for it… | |
| Someone had to think of it !!! Flysurf.com : What’s the principle of your leash ? Laurent Borgna : Nowadays you either fasten your leash to your wrist or harness. Nobody has yet offered us (thought of it I couldn’t say) of fixing it in a pivot around the quick release. Clips with an added swivel allow you to untwist the leash after a rotation, for sure, but it requires a human intervention to achieve it. This system turns freely and universally around the bar. But what makes the system interesting is that the leash itself becomes the release of the quick release. It’s always in the same place and you can find it easily when you need it. You pull from underneath and it releases. | |
