Kaohi Anchorman Quick Release
The NEW Kaohi Anchorman™ Quick Release *converts almost every Kaohi Leash to a quick release leash in 3 easy steps.
- Remove your cuff and attach the quick release to your Kaohi Leash (Allen wrench required)
- Attach the soft Dyneema style connector to your belt or harness by looping it through itself
- Arm the quick release by hooking the opposing loop through the T-Pin and inserting the T-pin into the handle. Then go rip it up
Please read the information on this page before purchasing.
Designed for the SUP, Surf, Foil, Wing and Down Wind rider to enhance their water safety profile while maintaining the highest level of performance.
Designed to quickly ditch your board in an emergency and/or when coming to the beach after a surf session, while in the shore break.
To activate the quick release feature, grab the quick release handle and push it away from you. This will expose the T-pin so it will slip through the loop and then release the leash.
Key features:
Connects to a belt or harness through the attached dyneema style connector
High Viz Ergonomic handle for comfort and ease of deployment
Releases by intention and under pressure so you don’t experience unintended detachments.
Patent pending connection/deployment pin for increased durability, performance and safety.
- *9mm straight and bungee style leashes are not compatible at this time
- Leashes, harnesses or belts are not included, only the quick release mechanism is included
- Might not be compatible with other brands of leashes

COMMON QUESTIONS

Where's My Order's Tracking Link?
Tracking info is shared via email within 72 hours of most orders being placed. Be sure to check spam or "Promotions" folder in your Inbox, as sometimes our messages land there.
No Tracking Info Displays on Shipper's Website ...
It can take 48 hours for tracking info to display. Rest assured, your package is en route. Make sure to enter the BOL # (Bill of Lading) with no spaces in the tracking field.

Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico?
Yes, we have shipped to these locations for decades by quote. Please share your address, the item(s) you needed shipped, and if an airport cargo depot pickup is possible.
Canada and International Locations?
We ship to Canada lots, and the Caribbean some. Get a quote. We rarely ship items to Europe, Asia, and Australia as it's spendy. Quotes for international orders do not include import duties.

How Can I Be Sure My Board Arrives Intact?
Opt for our $99 "To Nearby Airport" shipping option at checkout. It relies on passenger planes, and offers our safest delivery. More far below.
What if My Board Arrives Damaged?
We'll work with our shipping partner to get you a repair credit or a replacement board. Please send photos of the damaged board (and box) to shipping@bigwinds.com.

My board made it ...
But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?
Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
