My son was messing around with some of my kite stuff today and was playing with my home-made kite killers for my 2m nasa... then I got an idea... he's always losing his soother... so this will work out just great!

I have an even better use for kite killers involves a willing participant and bed posts..............

I used to WW and kayak surf. I have to question whether it is a great idea to lash your paddle to yourself. Getting maytagged is bad enough without a loose paddle failing about. It seems to be very similar to run away straps on skis not to have some of the same hazards.

I mainly paddle on a fast river, trust me, you do not wanna lose a paddle on the river.

:shocked2::tumble:

From wikipedia
"A paddle leash may be used for securing a paddle in open water with a sea kayak. Especially on solo tours after capsizing a paddle might drift away through wind or waves and not be recovered. A paddle leash must not be used in whitewater kayaking due to the danger of getting strangled."

I have never heard of leashes being recommended for anything above class 0 water, i.e. still water
For the views of other paddlers try this. It is considered a very bad idea to use a leash in moving water.

The wood chipper has a sticker on the feed chute that reads, Do not insert any body parts into feed augers:puzzled:. Now this sounds like common sense and yet they need to say it any way. Hence my mood statice. Some will only learn in the end.

Wow... this thread really wandered... haha.

Same goes for newbies using kite killers, and yes, I have seen people try to hang themselves with these while flying kites. They should be banned all together

Cant see any harm, should have drawn a picture maybe, one end attached to paddle, other end attached to cargo net on front, fast river, no more than class 1, also big knife attached to life jacket (yes, I do wear one). Its a touring kayak

each to there own, i remember someone tells me how I need KK to fly. LOL.
I never learned with them 15 years ago and I cant see why I would need them now.

KK will do well with some but its not for everyone. You'll notice that only the beginner kites come with them.

next week I fly my Vapors with KK for fun. LOL.
