- EZ Releaser Dou - Our new-patented 2009 mechanism features many unique innovations presently unseen in the industry. First and foremost the new releaser allows the user to release the kite by pushing or pulling the releaser in any direction. Now all users can release the kite fast and easy no matter what style of system they learned on. The unique design incorporates a built in 360 swivel that allows the user to unwind the front lines easily from below the bar. In addition, the release allows the user to depower the kite below the bar via a cleat. The QR also locks inside the bar for easy unhooked performance.

The new EZ lock offers a completely removable and easily adjustable stopper system, allowing the user the full freedom to adjust the amount of power needed to push the stopper away.
