SUP Leashes are essential safety accessories for anyone using a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP). They are designed to attach the rider to the board, preventing the board from drifting away in the event of a fall. This is especially crucial in open waters where wind and currents can quickly separate you from your board. Our collection includes high-quality leashes from renowned brands like ION, STX, Gladiator, MOAI, and NeilPryde.
Choosing the Right SUP Leash
When selecting a SUP Leash, consider the length and style that best suits your needs. Coiled leashes, such as those offered by brands like ION and STX, are popular because they stay out of the water, reducing drag. Leashes vary in attachment points too, with options for ankle or knee attachments, depending on your preference and the type of paddling you do.
How to Use SUP Leashes
Using a SUP Leash is simple: attach one end to the leash plug on your board and the other to your ankle or knee. Make sure the leash is secure but not too tight. Always check the leash for wear and tear before heading out. Leashes are particularly useful in waves or choppy waters, ensuring your board remains within reach at all times.
Safety and Maintenance Tips for SUP Leashes
Maintaining your SUP Leash ensures its longevity and reliability. Rinse the leash with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the cord and attachments for signs of wear. A well-maintained leash not only enhances your safety but also extends the life of your investment.
