DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A Leash That Stays Out of Your Way
While downwinding, your leash is crucial for connecting you to your board. However, a leash left on the deck can drag, interfere with your stance, or get tangled in your feet during transitions. The Armstrong Downwind Waist Board Leash solves this by moving the attachment point to your waist, which frees up the board's deck and keeps the cord clear of your feet. The result is a cleaner setup and less risk of snagging during long glide sessions.
Built for Comfort and Durability
This leash is built around a 25mm Armstrong strap paired with a 25mm Duraflex buckle, known for its strength and long-term reliability. The strap is fitted with comfortable neoprene sleeves to minimize chafing, a great feature when wearing the leash directly against your skin. The cord is a bungee Dyneema: durable and lightweight, with just enough stretch to absorb the shock of a fall. A Dyneema length extension is also included, letting you fine-tune the leash's reach to your preference.
