Why Use a Wrist Leash?
A wrist leash is the simplest way to stay connected to your wing.
It allows you to:
- Recover your wing quickly after a fall.
- Keep both hands available when restarting.
- Reduce the risk of losing your wing in strong wind.
- Learn fundamental skills with confidence.
For many riders, it’s the easiest way to get started before deciding whether to move to a waist-mounted system.
Comfortable by Design
The wrist cuff is designed to remain comfortable throughout long sessions.
Its soft padding helps distribute pressure while maintaining a secure fit, allowing unrestricted arm movement without excessive rubbing or discomfort.
The streamlined profile also makes it easy to put on and remove, even with cold or wet hands.
Built to Last
Like all Armstrong accessories, the Wrist Wing Leash is built with durability in mind.
Premium webbing, corrosion-resistant hardware and high-quality elastic components are designed to withstand repeated exposure to salt water, sun and daily use.
With proper care, it will provide dependable performance season after season.
Wrist Leash vs Waist Leash
| Wrist Leash | Waist Leash |
|---|---|
| Simple and intuitive | Greater freedom of movement |
| Ideal for beginners | Preferred by many experienced riders |
| Quick to put on | Reduces wrist and forearm fatigue |
| Lightweight | Better for long sessions and downwind |
Both systems work well. The best choice depends on your experience, riding style and personal preference.
Who Is This Leash For?
The Wrist Wing Leash is ideal for riders who:
✓ Are new to wing foiling.
✓ Want a straightforward, reliable setup.
✓ Ride shorter sessions.
✓ Prefer minimal equipment.
✓ Teach or learn in a school environment.
Who Should Consider a Waist Leash Instead?
If you regularly:
- Ride for several hours.
- Surf ocean swell.
- Complete long downwind runs.

…a waist leash may provide greater comfort and freedom of movement.
Looking After Your Leash
To maximise its lifespan:
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every session.
- Allow it to dry before storage.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
- Check the cuff, cord and swivels regularly for signs of wear.
Regular inspection is one of the easiest ways to ensure your safety equipment remains dependable.
