Meet the Wave Quick Release system, a leash designed for safe paddling on moving water. This is an essential piece of safety equipment. A standard ankle leash is great for flat, open water, but it can be a serious hazard on rivers, in tidal currents, or on any water with a flow. This quick-release leash is made for those exact situations. It keeps you securely connected to your board but also gives you a reliable way to detach in an emergency.
The system is built around a comfortable, padded waist belt. This design keeps the leash high on your body and completely out of the water. This placement is the most important feature. In an emergency, like getting snagged on a branch or a rock, a paddler can be pulled under by the current. In that situation, reaching an ankle leash is often impossible. The release handle on this belt is at your waist, where you can always reach it. A simple pull gives you a split-second release from your board so you can get to safety.
This leash is built to be both strong and practical. The coiled cord is made from a reinforced urethane, so it's tough enough for demanding conditions. Its tangle-free design also keeps it on your board, which means no drag and less chance of it snagging on anything underwater. The padded waist belt is comfortable enough to wear for hours, so you can paddle knowing your safety release is ready.
This is not your standard ankle leash. It's a specific piece of safety equipment for anyone paddling on water with a current. It's built with strong components for paddlers who understand those risks. It keeps you attached to your board, your main float, until the one moment you need to let go. Do not paddle on rivers or in tidal flow without a quick-release system
