Recommendation for waist leash for winging

Looking to incorporate a waist leash for wing or board. What are you guys using?

Baking downwind cool works perfectly. Same leash just without the 2 foot straight cord section. It's still easily long enough and the used a lot of by plentyon the east coast for winging or normal foiling

Velcro your current leash to a belt, fanny pack, or ws harness.

I use a 6' coiled leash, attached to a belt made from a length of nylon webbing and 2 x fastex clips from the boat shop. Belt cost me $6. All coiled leashes will stretch so keep it short as you can, 6'

Yes, I use one. Like it! Armstrong has one was well.

Wrist leash to waist.
Harness line and harness for long reaches an one handed sailing.

I'm using BluePlanet's retractable waist leash, I think it was a modified version of NSI's(?) www.blueplanetsurf.com/retractable-foil-waist-leash-with-shock-cord.html

+3 for the Blue Planet retractable leash, I'm only a newbie at SUP Foiling and spend around 50% of my time in the water :) but starting to get there.
I first used a normal leggie and was terrible, then went to a calf coil and it was a little better but still not great so I went and picked up a Heavy Duty ION Waist Coil leash and it was good for about 6 weeks until it stretched out and started to get wrapped around the foil quite often after crashing and getting stuck in bigger sets. So I saw the Blue Planet creation and called them, unfortunately it was hard getting onto them a few weeks back so I spoke to some of the local shops and I put this together.

I grabbed a Reel Kiteboard Leash from Surf FX (my local on the GC) then went to a local boatshop and picked up 2 meters of 8mm streach cord and put my own version together for around $120 AU. (I already had the ION waist strap though) and this is THE BEST!!!! I've used it 5-6 times now in varying surf and its amazing, when you fall and the cord wraps around the foil it slowly pulls it around the right way and untangles it and SHAZZAM!! your ready to go again!!! the only downside is, when it runs out of leash it gives you a more aggressive tug as you only have 1200mm of shock cord but I think the Blue Planet version with the larger bungee cord would be a bit better.

The main three things I can suggest is,
1- if you make you attaching cords a dual system and a bit longer you can grab it like a handle if your being hit by whitewater
2- I made my cord 1200mm long from eye to eye and it's perfect (I'm 172 cm tall)
3- I ground off the thumb clip on the attachment as it punched a nice little hole in my board during one of my uncontrolled ejections....

I strap my shortest surf leash, a 5' FCS around my waist harness. BTW, I have an FOne and at first I thought the harness would never work. But it's genius and saves your arms for the surfing and not the upwind work. I've tried above the thigh and coiled leashes and on a few occasions I was one big knot. The coiled leashes, they tend to wrap around the foil and if pulled hard can be a bugger to untangle while you're floating in the ocean or surf break managing your wing and also trying not to get dinked in the head by a bobbing wing.

Hi Benk, I'm in Canada, so nowhere near the shipping costs, and at the time I was getting a BP SUP Foil board from them, so it was with the board with free shipping to US airport! But yeah $70usd seems high. International shipping is getting to be ridiculous. I have been unable to find anyone that will ship a 4'10 Gong wing board from France to Canada for less than $800, almost the price of the board!!!

I've just started using an Armstrong waist leash and just added the spreader bar from my mystic 2face harness to the army waist band. Took it out for a test run today and it went really well.

The full harness just felt overkill, while this was perfect. Allowing hooking in both heel side and toe side tacks (not riding switch quite yet). I could easily spin it around to allow prone paddling out to the wind line as well.

That thing looks perfect!
