Thanks for all your advice, Dwight, it’s a big help. 👍👍

Leashes are so personal and an area of the sport that needs some redesign, imo. I bought the Kaohi with the calf attachment and I hate it. It's constantly wrapped 2x around my leg. I'm going to try to mount it to a waist harness like yours...maybe that goes better for me. Thanks for the video though, I feel everyone's input helps us all figure it out.

Perfect setup

For board, I use Oceanus localized to middle of back of harness, attached to harness with a snap shackle for emergency release. I really like the length of the reel leash for getting board away from me when coming in through the shore break. I am intrigued by the 6' calf leash.... but concerned it won't get the board far enough away from me and the wing. For wing, I wear the leash around wrist (but really want to lose this especially because of prior & potential future injury from wing getting dragged in surf shore break).

Great vid, couldn’t agree more

Very helpful. thanks

Hi Dwight, The wing leash setup is brilliant and I've converted over all my wings. I have also been using the board leash but find it irritates my calf and is too long (always stepping on it). I picked up the North quick release single coil board leash and have it connected to my waist. Now there is no leash dragging or on the board. I added a second spectra line with ring that runs below the wing leash line and am very happy with this setup. Great work and keep posting!

Good idea, I just got one of these alula wings given to me because of leash failure in that part of the wing.

That calf mount board leash looks awesome. Gonna order one. I use the long Ozone wing leash mounted to a waist belt (I’m not a harness user) so keeping the board leash well separated from the wing leash sounds like the perfect solution to my current waist mount board leash. Like you said, often a tangled mess. I also do the whole pre wrap thing for handle-pass-tacks like you described. Thanks for the tip Dwight! (Did you get the 5’ or 6’ version of the calf mount board leash?). Ok I see in the description you said 6’. All set!

Instead of a stopper ball I use a stainless steel welded ring. Same security with a Lark's head but allows clipping other things to it if I want to. I'm very happy with a waist board leash using the Oceanus reel leash.

I got so tangled yesterday, it was nuts!! I'll try to find the Kiohli calf strap. I tangle if both are coiled or if one is straight. Need to keep working on it...

Beginner here but. I’m going with the NSI 5’ scrunchy wing leash and the Kaholi double coil. Both mounted to a Home Depot Dickies waist belt.

Hello Dwight - I'm just experimenting with leashes as well - from your video I guess you're guiding the leash on the back of your harness in order to avoid tangle with the hook, right ? Currently I've fixed my wing leash on the front and the board leash on the back of my waist belt. Any reason why you prefer coil for the board leash rather than ozone style ?

Hey Dwight, thanks for the great video. I'm the guy that bought some of your F-One Swings a year or two ago and I really enjoyed them for my first quiver of wings. I'm going to order both the Kaohi ankle and calf leash to see which one I like best. You recommend the 6' leash for the calf leash. Should I go with a 5' leash for the ankle leash, since it seems like attaching to the ankle instead of the calf might effectively add some length to the leash? Also, Kaohi is saying their 7mm leash is their "go to" leash for wing foiling. Is there some reason that you think the 8mm leash is a better choice?

Sorry I don’t get it why can’t you tie it to the loop where the arm leash goes? Why to the handle?

Hi DWight. Thx for great tip. Isnt a 6 feet leash too short? No risk that the board shoots back? Thx

Hi Dwight , what’s the harness name , looks cool

I am getting so annoyed with all these leashes that I am seriously considering having only one leash connecting the wing to board (using a plug leash placed on the front of the board) and call it a day. Of course the rider in not connected to the board anymore which has its risks, but this setup is nothing different from a windsurfing setup (except that it is the leash connecting the wing to the board and not a mast). Windsurfers have been doing it for decades and none are using leashes...Maybe a wing could catch more wind than an immersed windsurf sail and could potentially pull the board away from the rider faster? Thoughts?
