• Line manager upside:
  – The idea for Kitecleat first came while practicing in cramped areas and on boats where the limited space made untangling of lines very difficult.
  – Not only is it helpful in tight spots but also in cold conditions, high tide, tall grass, pebbles or snow, as well as helping to avoid dangerous mistakes and oversights.
  – As the number and density of kiters rises, the line manager becomes an efficient and space saving tool for beginner to advanced riders alike.

• Line cutter (optional) downside:
  – Very few are trained to properly use a kite knife leading to lost or rusted knives, which can be a bad surprise at the wrong time.
  – The incorporated ceramic blade doesn’t rust and, since the Kitecleat floats, is less easy to lose.
  – It is also more manageable in emergencies with quick, one-handed cuts of your own or even other riders lines, if necessary.

So why not designing a comfort & security accessory turning it in a navigation helpmate that you will use every session and then be quickly able to grasp it eyes closed ?
Kitecleat could so be the most reliable, durable (optional incorporated ceramic blade) and floating kitesurf knife boosting your own and others around safety.

• Design:
  – Focused on maneuverability and security.
  – Very quick single hand use thanks to the return spring.
  – Allows for easy inspection to prevent line crossing or oversight connection (a known cause for accidents) prior to release from Kitecleat.

To resume, Kitecleat is a reliable and durable piece of equipment to make kiting easier and safer for you and others. No hurry, just efficiency!
