Product Information
Full details
The Wave Sups Coiled Ankle Leash is an essential safety accessory for stand-up paddleboarders and kayakers who want to ensure their board stays within reach at all times. Designed for those who prioritize both safety and mobility, this leash features a coiled structure that prevents tangling while keeping you connected to your gear. While it provides excellent peace of mind, users should remember that it is designed primarily for flatwater use and should not be used as a replacement for a personal flotation device in dangerous current conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this leash in the ocean?
Yes, it is suitable for calm coastal waters, but always ensure you rinse it with fresh water after use to prevent salt buildup.
Is this leash suitable for children?
The cuff is adjustable, but ensure it fits securely around the ankle so that it does not slide off during movement.
How often should I replace the leash?
Inspect the leash before every session. If you see signs of fraying, cracking, or damage to the swivel, replace it immediately.
Can I attach this to my calf instead of my ankle?
Yes, many paddlers prefer a calf attachment for easier access to the leash and to prevent it from interfering with foot placement on the board.
Does this leash float?
While the materials are water-resistant, the leash is designed to stay connected to the board, which provides the primary buoyancy.
Troubleshooting
The leash swivel feels stiff or gritty
Rinse the swivel thoroughly with fresh water and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if the grit persists.
The hook-and-loop closure is not sticking securely
Check the fabric for lint, sand, or debris and remove it using a stiff brush to restore the grip.
Pros and Cons

- Prevents your board from drifting away in wind or waves
- Coiled cord design minimizes drag and prevents tangling
- Padded cuff ensures comfort during extended use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your leash, wrap the padded cuff securely around your dominant ankle and fasten the hook-and-loop closure firmly. Ensure the swivel point is positioned on the outside of your ankle to allow the leash to rotate freely without binding. Attach the other end to the leash plug or d-ring at the rear of your paddleboard using the provided loop.
Compatibility: This leash is compatible with most standard SUP boards and kayaks equipped with a rear leash attachment point.
Care Instructions: After every use, rinse the leash with fresh water to remove salt or grit, especially around the swivel mechanism. Allow it to air dry completely in the shade before storage. Avoid leaving the leash stretched out for extended periods when stored, as this can fatigue the coiled material.
