Nice product Franck. I am still on the prior version and it's totally awesome.

It looks really great Franck. Which size and side-buckles would I need for compatibility with a Liberty Harness?

Does the hook still have the quick lock system for the straps?

Hi Franck are these avaliable in the UK?
Maybe you have a link to distributor?
Thanks

note that you will have to have the stitching redone on one of the loops on the front flap to fit the hook. at least my liberty harness has both loops stitched on (rather than velcro'd, like some other brands), requiring at least one loop to be unstitched for the hook to be fitted on.

Sorry for not replying earlier. I thought that I had subscribed to the topic and that it would warn me.
At the time there is no distribution in shops.
You have to order from my website if you live in EU or directly from me by sending a message as outside UE it is tax free and my website doesn't handle that.
For the liberty harness it indeed needs some needle work to adapt the spreader plate.
The web site is:
free-ride-addicted.fr

The only bad thing about free fall hook is when I switch from foil to fin without adjusting the tension and just when I first get fully planning it releases and chucks me off the back

This product has saved my tail many times on hard crashes. I'm surprised none of the big boys in the industry haven't bought you out or licensed your product for broader manufacturing. I have the original and now the new one on a second harness. Once you find the right release pressure it is money!

I first made this to save my bones but it also saves booms... So even if it can seem expansive (I can't make it cheaper...) it is Indeed a good investment (if you foil of course ).

A new Clip-In buckle is avaible



Video in French but not much more to say than the images already tell.

The same sort will be done for large belt harness.
