Concur, maybe that's what the whole issue is here.
It's always going to be difficult to unhook when standing upright and slogging. |

I've never needed a quick release my last 16,692 sessions (173,482 crashes) with all kinds of WSing bars and lines I've ever seen.
Of course, I have gills. |

I can't unhook easily unless my seat harness spreader bar is high and tight. When loose, it sags remaining hooked even with drooping harness lines. |

When I learned to windsurf (1979) my first harness was one I made myself and I put the hook up. I sailed hook up for 10 years. I han long harness lines the went close to where I gripped the boom. I could unhook by pulling in to release tension and flicking the line up with my thumb. It was super easy. I have more trouble now that I sail with the hook facing "the right way". I do find most new hooks to have too much depth to the curve for me. I get out the torch and adjust them. |
