Oceanus Reel

Worked great

Although lots of kiters will tell you this is dangerous, I love it - but with some caveats. First, attach it to the end or corner of your board, NOT the handle - attaching to the handle can 'load up' the board when it drags in the water, snapping it back at you or breaking the handle. Also, the reel was great, but after about ~15 days in the water, the bounce went out of it's bungee - it stopped reeling all the way up, leaving me with an annoying and maybe even dangerous loop slapping around my legs. Nevertheless, it does what it says, and forget the haters, it makes my sessions that much more awesome.

This is a great product, but you have to use an abundance of care using it. The kiteboarding industry will tell you is totally bad and nobody should use it, and they are ready to sell you, new board. So don't use it if you think it may get caught in a wave or if you do jumps and transitions, but for slow paste kiting till you get in speed is great. Wearing water helmet is a good option

Works well, but according to Kite experts id this product forbidden to use in many countries due to the danger of beeing hit with your own board.

Works perfectly: lets out enough slack to get your kiteboard clear of you as you fall, then gently returns the board to you so you don't spend all day chasing it. (More experienced kiters tell me they don't need it, and they say you shouldn't use it when you're jumping -- but I'm not there yet.)

I love this. It has saved me so much time and my willingness to try new moves has gone up. I am a beginner/intermediate kiter and this has helped me progress faster for sure.

Its good if you are not going to practice jumps, it doesn’t allow the Kiteboard to rebound .when you fall, the board will kept away and you can retract it safely just don’t use it if you practicing jumps

Very happy with this item. Just as described. The quality is really good. Havent tested it in the water yet but Im excited to do so.
