 Here are some photos of the final Prototype of the KiteRelease. The Production models will be very similar, but will have a far more polished appearance. Expect these photos to be replaced with production model photos in late June.

Here you can see the "Soft Shackle", it's the black plastic tube in the mouth of the hook.

 

 

Key Benefits

  • Automatic Release: The KiteRelease has four modes of operation:

                1. "Low Tension" or "Manual Release". The KiteRelease will release at a very low tension.

                2. "Launch".  The KiteRelease will release as trimloop tension approaches Rider weight.

                3. "Ride".  The KiteRelease will release as trimloop tension approaches 130% - 140% of Rider weight.

                4. "Locked" The KiteRelease will not release and functions exactly like an old fashioned spreader bar.

  • Soft Shackle (patent pending): The Soft Shackle  greatly eases the process of shackling in and out. simply pull the trimloop into the hook and you're shackled in. Grab the trimloop and pull it down & back and you're out! See the Video "Using The KiteRelease" to see just how simple and easy this is.

  • JumpLock (Optional): The JumpLock locks the KiteRelease into the Locked mode as soon as that mode is selected. It requires an additional step to de-select Locked mode. Riders who prefer the additional security, and accept that quickly de-selecting Locked mode will be difficult, may choose this option. Riders who prefer to be able to quickly de-select Locked mode may prefer to skip this option. JumpLock may be disabled while riding, if so desired. The JumpLock can be installed or removed by the rider with just a couple of simple tools.
