Project 5 Handle Pass Leash HPX

FAQ

What is the Project 5 Handle Pass Leash HPX used for?

The Handle Pass Leash HPX is a special safety leash for kitesurfers who ride unhooked and want to perform tricks such as handle passes in freestyle and wakestyle.

What skill level is the Handle Pass Leash HPX suitable for?

The leash is aimed at advanced kiters who already ride unhooked and want to master or learn technical freestyle or wakestyle tricks such as handle passes.

What advantages does the leash's neoprene cover offer?

The integrated neoprene cover protects the leash from wear and UV exposure and ensures comfortable handling against the body, especially during longer sessions on the water.

Why does the leash have additional EVA foam under the hook?

The additional EVA foam directly under the hook prevents the leash from getting caught in the harness hook during a handle pass, thus ensuring greater safety and freedom of movement during rotation tricks.

Can the leash also be used for other kite disciplines?

The HPX Handle Pass Leash is primarily designed for freestyle and wakestyle. Kiters who simply want a longer leash can also use it, as it offers more freedom of movement.

How is the Handle Pass Leash attached to the kite setup?

The leash is attached to the harness like a conventional safety leash. Thanks to the design with EVA foam under the hook, it remains reliably in position even during fast rotations and handle passes.

What should I consider when caring for the kite leash?

Rinse the leash with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand residue, and let it dry completely before storing it. Regularly check the neoprene cover and EVA foam for damage.
