So you can't kite without a donkey dick? If you are indeed that much of a noob try cable ties until you get one sorted.

Hey Marty,

I have the Ozone reverse chicken dicks which go on your harness which will get you out of trouble or you should go and see Windforce in Nedlands or Choice Kitesurfing in Hamilton Hill.

SM is right, you can go and buy heavy duty cable ties from bunnings and make a reverse chicken dick for bugger all.

Axis is also right, you don't need to be pinned to the CL to be able to ride. If you come unhooked and can't hook in again due to power, simply grab the chicken loop and let go of the bar and it all slows down enough to hook back in again. Easy! It will actually teach you some new skills.

Donkey Diks only became "essential" back in about 2005. Before then, they were considered optional

Cheers,

KH
