Thanks for helping out yesterday on 3rd when I lost my kite

[Artem]

Thanks everybody involved, Olivier for bringing the kite back to the shore, Rusty for the lift to the shore, and 2 other guys (sorry don't know the names) for taking care of the kite and lines on the shore.
In short, I got a death loop, had to unhook, as I found out later my safety leash carabin doesn't lock all the way, so the ring slipped from the carabin and I didn't notice it until it was too late and my kite was like 200m away Thanks again everybody for helping me out! (I got lucky, nothing got broken or ripped, will exchange the safety leash asap)

Same thing happened to me at a downwinder at Sherman with a Best leash. Kahoona Bridle wrap, relaunch impossible, was letting it drag me closer to shore before flagging it, and the carabiner in the leash gave out and I am in the middle of the river watching my kite tumble down the channel towards the launch. Donny from Kitopia took pity and saved my rig - I've had quality issues with Best bridles and best leashes and best pumps not buying their gear again.
