Kiteboarding Safety Products by Oceanus Technologies

Oceanus Technologies has three products being offered to kiteboarders that help increase safety when kiteboarding:

- THE STANDARD REEL LEASH
The Standard REEL Leash is our first and most widely distributed KITE BOARD LEASH. All Oceanus REELs are strong, lightweight retractable devices adapted to a saltwater environment. To date we supply our REELs to distributors, dealers, and schools in 20+ countries. Our REEL leash comes with a seven-inch long shock cord to aid in absorbing the initial pull on a fall.

- THE REEL ReENFORCED
The REEL ReEnforced is our heavy-duty model. This model is the most durable, reliable, longest lasting unit to date. We highly recommend this Heavy Duty model to all kiters and is the model we suggest be used anywhere increased board loss is a factor such as the open ocean, or rivers with strong current.

- THE EEL **NEW**
The EEL is our latest and very popular model. While starting out as our medium duty model the EEL is very rapidly becoming our second heavy-duty model. The EEL offers several forward thinking modifications in one affordable package.

The EEL has been reinforced from within, providing a strengthened and seamless feed port. While remaining very similar in size and weight to our Standard REEL the EEL has many of the strength features of our REEL ReEnforced model.

Our EEL comes standard with our new rope extension. This allows another 3 feet between the rider and his board on a fall. It also keeps the unit in the relaxed position while riding, which extends the life of the unit. Our rope extension has a flat webbing connector that attaches to a binding post or fin screw on the deck of the board.

The EEL, like all of our REELs, is designed to perform out of the water and out of the way. The kiter will barely be aware that they are using it. THE EEL will also not slingshot the board back at you on a fall like stretch cords do. As on all REELs, we use a flat nylon webbing leash strap, not synthetic rubber.
