What are the advantages of a quick-release SUP leash?

Water sports safety leashes are an essential piece of safety equipment for all surfers and paddlers, they are a great investment for any serious water sports enthusiast.

For the traditional surf leash, one end is tied to the board, while the other end is tied to people’s ankles or waist. So you must use both of your hands to untie it when you want to get rid of it. So the problem is when you are in an emergency and you can’t use both of your hands in such a situation, it will be a matter of your life whether you can unlock the leash and get rid of it timely or not. To meet this need in the market, we work out a solution by adding a quick-release buckle on the body part of the traditional leash.

Quick-release leashes are generally made of coiled or uncoiled TPU with a stainless steel quick-release clip, or with a quick-release buckle.

The big advantage of a quick-release leash is that it can be quickly released in an emergency by only one hand, so the board will be disconnected from your body, and you can quickly get rid of it, which could potentially save your life.  Besides, the quick-release leash is more comfortable to wear as they can be worn around the waist or ankle just based on your needs. The last, quick-release leash is also multifunctional and can be used for a variety of activities, such as kayaking, windsurfing, kite surfing, and wakeboarding. So a quick-release leash is definitely your best choice for any water sports enthusiast!
