Confused by kiter jargon? No worries, check out the glossary at:

Oh, here's a term that doesn't appear in the glossary:
suicide leash = a type of kite depowering leash
or cord intended to halt the pull of the kite if the control bar
is dropped (
almost, hence the "suicide" modifier). An
example appears as that black ropey thing in the photo below.
