Why a Double Safety Wing Leash Is Essential (Real Story) | FoilBoardCompany.com

What happens when your wing leash attachment point fails in heavy surf? In this video, Sam shares what happened when a powerful wave ripped out his leading edge leash attachment point during a session. It’s the kind of situation most riders don’t think about — until it happens. Fortunately, he was riding with a double safety wing leash system, which meant the backup connection to the handle prevented a full separation from the wing. This isn’t theory. It’s a real-world incident and a real example of why redundancy in your setup matters. In this video we cover: • How the failure happened • What actually ripped out • Why the backup system worked • What could have happened without it • Why leash redundancy is critical in surf and strong wind Wing foiling pushes equipment hard — especially in waves. Small design details can make a serious difference when things go wrong. If you ride in surf, downwind, or strong conditions, this is worth watching.
