Just looking for advice and input on placement for a safety knife on a Dynabar V8, as I don't see a set location for it. Have never needed one, but would like have it available for emergency use. Thanks for any recommendations.

Precut the lines, job done.

Looks like we're having a bad run this year. have a look in the forums menu page, and pick the relevant forum before you post.

It's not hard.

At top of mast would be a pretty good place for it

find a sleeve in your harness somewhere and tuck it in.

I always keep mine beside the intake manifold. It's easy to reach there.

he did also post it in the kite section, maybe the windsurf section has a higher level of expertise and our advice is of great value (according to recent posts.... ) ????

If you buy a NP kite harness it has a line cutter, velcro secured into the spreader bar pad.

I have one, just in case I run into some kiters. :)

Being from the US of A couldn't you just mount it on the outside of your holster and then your colt 45 and your bowie knife are both within easy reach ?

Not sure why you need one though, if you got into trouble wouldn't Bruce Willis drop from a chopper and save you ?



(I have not been to the US of A but I have seen some films about the place)

Ditto for the Mystic Majestic windsurfiing-kitesurfing cross-over* harness that I have.

*Just so there is no misunderstanding.

No it's OK. I get that people say "check out this really good kiteing sight..." and as a first timer you don't know it is actually all about windsurfing - with kiters tolerated

Sigh, but it's so well-padded unlike the classic windsurfing harness. OTOH, it's kinda bulky.

Not if the above is any indication. lol.

In my haste I entered Windsurf general instead of Kitesurf general and found this innocent question from a newbie. From some of the mightier than thou posts I've seen on kite forum from poley's I thought you guys must be a tolerant and friendly bunch. Not so.

Dunno about the others, but I just resent you guys for having it so easy. There, I said it.

Nah all good, I couldn't resist.

Where I kite you guys are a rare breed, so our paths rarely cross but I'm happy to give a wave or a nod and happy to say I usually get one back
