Do not use a single loop on the anchor string as this allows the anchor string to cut into the rail Has several built-in fail points (in the coil and the fittings) so that it will snap and release under excessive tension.
VHV “very high visibility” day and night with silver white reflection giving a brightness of over 450cd(lx/㎡) Reflection visible at night from over 500m for increased safety. If the belt moves around during use, it could be challenging to reach the single manual release toggle with just one hand. Because you do NOT want to become SEPARATED from your SUP, it is usually safer to be on your board than not. Your paddleboard is your craft; you can get to where you want or need to be (e.g. in an emergency) faster than if you were not on the SUP. Water (in the UK anyway) is often cold, sometimes dangerously so, therefore you do not want to be in the water for too long, or you could get hypothermia. The QR waist belt is an essential bit of kit for SUP on any inland waters, having the leash attached to the waist offers a comfortable riding experience as your leash is out of the water and away from any potential drag risks.We offer a free service to either trim your Waist Belt to a smaller size or custom make it to a longer size if you If worn around the waist, there is no option to carry a throwline on the same belt (it is not good practice to wear multiple waist belts each with separate release systems). If the belt moves around during use, it could be challenging to reach the manual release toggle with just one hand. To increase your awareness around SUP safety, then the WSA iSUP Smart Online Courses is a short course covering all the essential SUP safety information to keep you and your family safe on the water. We also offer the in-person WSA iSUP Smart workshop through our network of accredited schools across the UK, and places can be booked online. This course is inexpensive and covers the aspects of SUP Safety every paddleboarder should be aware of. The British Canoeing white water safety and rescue training course (WWSR) which includes SUP boarding should cover the safe wearing and deployment of the QR belt.
Whilst wearing a QR belt is a lot safer than wearing the leash around your ankle in moving water it is worthwhile learning how it functions correctly, the applying of risk assessments when wearing one and understanding the potential issues which might occur when wearing one. Personal flotation devices are crucial for helping paddlers conserve energy and stay safe if they end up in the water.The airbelt PFD is suitable for paddlers that are paddling in flat water conditions,such as lakes or calm seas. This provides you with the safety of having a buoyancy aid available in case of an emergency, without being restricted. Even if you are an experienced paddler we would always recommend wearing the airbelt PFD as a minimum safety requirement. It is discreet, comfortable and easy to wear, and could be potentially life saving.

We only use 50mm heavy duty Polypropylene webbing with a breaking strength of over 500kg which holds its integrity and resists any form of snagging. The 50mm width also make for a comfortable fit. Originally the existing belts available were waist belts and it was natural to wear the belt in that position. However, after almost 30 years of delivering the British Canoeing White Water Safety and Rescue training courses (WWSR) a potential downside to wearing the belt as a SUP boarder is that it can slide up under your buoyancy aid and therefore be more difficult to locate in an emergency. Remaining calm in such situations is a challenge so it is an exercise worth practising. Comes with open-gate carabiners; these can be replaced with screw gate carabiners to avoid the possibility of them opening and snagging.
