Know before you buy
A coiled leash stays on the deck of your board rather than dragging in the water behind you. This design significantly reduces drag and prevents the leash from getting snagged on underwater obstacles or your own feet while you move.
Yes, the strap is made from flexible neoprene and uses a Velcro closure system, allowing it to be adjusted to fit a wide range of ankle sizes securely and comfortably.
The two-directional swivel is designed to rotate freely as you move around the board. This prevents the cord from twisting up on itself, which is a common issue with standard, non-swiveling leashes.
This leash is specifically engineered for stand-up paddle boarding (SUP). While it provides excellent security for flatwater paddling, it is not designed to handle the high-impact forces of ocean surfing.
The leash is adjustable between 42 and 96 inches, which covers the standard length requirements for most recreational and touring SUP boards. You want enough length to move freely on the deck without the leash becoming a tripping hazard.
