FoilSolutions Retracting Leash & Impact Vest Combo Kit
Impact Vest and Retractable Leash System for Foil Sports
The FoilSolutions Retracting Leash & Impact Vest Combo Kit is a safety and convenience system designed specifically for foil sports, including eFoiling, wing foiling, surf foiling, and pump foiling.
This kit combines a protective impact vest with an integrated retractable leash system, allowing riders to stay connected to their board while minimizing leash drag and tangling. The retractable leash automatically manages slack line, keeping the leash out of the water and reducing interference with the foil.
The vest and leash work together as a complete solution for riders who want better safety, cleaner leash management, and additional board-carrying comfort.
Why Use an Impact Vest with a Retractable Leash?
Hydrofoil boards can move quickly after a fall and may drift away in wind or current. A leash helps keep the board within reach while reducing the risk of long swims or board retrieval.
Traditional surf leashes often leave long lines trailing in the water. In foil sports, this slack can tangle around the foil mast or wings.
The FoilSolutions retractable leash system helps solve this problem by automatically retracting excess line, creating a safer and cleaner setup for foil riders.
Benefits include:
-
Automatically retracts leash slack
-
Reduces drag from trailing leash lines
-
Helps prevent tangles around the foil
-
Keeps the board within reach after falls
-
Adds impact protection and safety storage
Key Features
Integrated Impact Vest Design
The impact vest is designed specifically for foil riders and includes shoulder padding that makes it easier to carry a hydrofoil board by resting the mast on your shoulder.
The vest also provides protection from impacts during falls.
Built-In Retractable Leash System
The retractable leash unit prevents excess leash line from trailing in the water. Unlike traditional leashes, the retracting design keeps the line managed and out of the way during riding.
This design improves comfort and reduces the chance of tangling with the foil.
Long Shock Cord Separation
The leash system includes a long shock cord that provides approximately 14 feet (4.2 m) of separation between the rider and board, helping maintain a safer distance after falls.

The vest includes three secure pockets that can carry small items such as:
-
phone in a dry case

ID or registration documents

keys or tools
