What is best, Waist or knee coil?

Straight or coil ankle or calf leash, short. Keeps it well away from the wing leash.

Smaller negative volume board - ankle or calf leash for the board and waist leash for the wing. Waist leashes wrap the leg when you mount a board like this from the tail.


larger positive volume board - kind of depends on where the leash plug is. If it's close to your back foot position then a waist leash makes sense to get it away from your feet. If it's farther from your feet then I probably prefer an ankle or calf leash. I don't like the board leash and wing both clipped to a belt - feels chaotic.

either way, I've found Kaohi double coil 7mm leashes to be great. XM leashes are also very high quality and customizable.

When I tried a calf leach, I wore it on my right foot. Always had problems with stepping on the leach, when my right foot was front. How can I avoid this?

I use a very thin webbing leash, not coiled urethane, that way you can easily stand on it and it's no bother.
