An interesting review on the reel leash by Gabi Steindl
The REEL Leash
Ok folks, as I’ve had a couple of serious ‘kitemares’ out in big waves over the years and simply out of curiosity & interest, I decided to give the “REEL Leash” by Oceanus Technologies Inc. a shot:
Although, I certainly DO NOT preach “use a leash in the waves” - not AT ALL folks !! even more certain must not the REEL replace learning the skill to body drag upwind perfectly before even thinking of heading out into any kind of waves - though, there i s situations where a leash can be helpful: such as in big waves, places with an extremely strong current or many ‘evil’ big fish (cause body-dragging around in shark-infested waters is kind of turning into a human lure). Me personally, I spend a lot of time in a l l of those places: big waves with strong current and big fish… therefore I decided to give the Reel Leash® a go.
