Hi guys,
Releasable kite/wakeboard bindings (working prototype) - patented and tested:
Just using them on sand:

Testing the release function:

( sorry about the music- was my kids selection!)
Designed them after a full ankle recon following an accident ( twintip strap twisted around the right foot) as a rehab tool and been kiting for the last year with no issues (but pain).
Recently my surgeon asked my to stop kiting or else...
I spoke to the major players ( SS,LF,HyperLite,Cabrinha): the verdict: "Nice design but the 4xM6 system is cheaper and safer". Probably. It took the skiing world 50 years to accept bindings we are using now.
So if you want develop your own bindings brand 
, or try the bindings and improve the design they are yours-I am not going to extend the patent beyond this year.
Drop me a message- I kite off Brighton Beach in Melbourne.
Good on you for designing and building something new! Bet it was fun axing yourself repeatedly to see if the bindings detached :)
I'd like to see how those baby's hang in there coming in hot from a massive boost/ kiteloop and a heavy landing. Happy to do some product testing for you if you if you need.
Video could have used more starwipes. I'm ever hopeful.
