Matt Nuzzo breaks down the "why" of leashes for wing foiling, and helps you pick the smartest and safest choice while providing some considerations for your decision.
- Foot clearance - You want to make sure your leash allows you to freely move your feet without wrapping or standing & pulling on the leash, for this reason coil leashes have become extremely popular for wing foiling.
- Attachment point - We have found waist leashes provide easier movement around the board without tangling.
- Drag - A long leash in the water behind you will drag and get in your way, traditional surf leashes will not be your best bet but can be used in a pinch.
There has been a lot of recent development improving the options for wing foiling leashes, here our some of our favorites out of the best leashes we have tested:
- Armstrong Waist & Ankle Board Leash
- Ride Engine Quick Release Recoil Wrist Leash
- Manera Leash Belt
- Kaohi Hybrid Leash
