What is it good for?

If the leash is normally fastened around the ankles of the leg, drowning can occur. If the leash catches on a bump in the river bottom, the rider may be pulled by the current in a tense position and unable to bend against the current to unclip the leash at the ankle. By attaching the leash to the belt leash, the emergency release of the rider becomes easier, as the rider can reach the belt leash even in an extended body position. River surfing is safer with a belt leash .

Properties

The surf leash is attached to the belt leash on the eye , which is located on the back of the belt leash. The leash does not hinder the rider in surfing or paddling. Belt leash is characterized by hand-made directly by Mirka in the living room.

Recommendation

Always wear a belt fasten to the body in the same direction (it depends on whether you apply the adhesive layer from the right or the left). Have one way of unzipping fixed in your head and always pull on the same side. Also, don't always forget squeeze around hook-and-loop fastener so that the belt does not come undone on its own. And of course, whenever you have your belt off, close it (i.e. tape). Don't let the ends flap on their own, dirt will stick there and the hooks will needlessly tear your wetsuit and whatever else you're wearing.

Safety - why use a belt leash

Unlike in the ocean, a leash is not worn on the ankle during river surfing. When the leash is normally tightened around the ankle of the leg, drowning can occur. In the event that the leash is caught on an unevenness at the bottom of the river, the rider is dragged by the current of water in a tense position and is unable to bend against the current of water to unfasten the leash at the ankle. You simply can't do a flip-flop in the current. By attaching the leash to the belt leash, the emergency release of the rider becomes easier, as the rider can reach the belt leash even in an extended body position.
