SUP Leash
In comparison SUP tethers for knee and foot
A SUP Leash is standard equipment. The tether is attached to the body with one end on the board and the other end. Depending on whether it is tied to the ankle or under the knee, it is called an ankle leash or a knee leash.
There are not two different types of SUP Leashes. Whether ankle or knee leash depends on your own calf, feet and comfort.
The majority of tethers are curled. The risk of injury is the least for a helical coil. Leash is the least because it only expands to full length when dropped, and therefore does not tangle in underwater plants or rocks when driving.
In running water, the use of a normal leash is life-threatening. If you still want to use it, you need a model with an emergency release that is worn around the waist. I have presented the best SUP belts and SUP leashs for the hips here .

2019 is a great year to enter Stand Up Paddling. Sure the summer will be just as great as last year. And the selection of boards has never been so great!
My favorites for this SUP season are:
- For newcomers without accessories: WOWSEA AN17 305cm (quality, low priced complete set)
- For families: Aqua Marina Atlas * (large board with space for several people)
- For experienced paddlers: Bluefin Cruise 330 cm / 365 cm (wonderful Touring Board)
