We understand that there are differing opinions on the use of board leashes in kiteboarding. While some riders choose to use board leashes as a safety measure, others prefer not to use them due to the potential risks and hazards they can pose. It's important for kiteboarders to consider the risks and benefits of using a board leash, and to make an informed decision based on their own preferences, experience, and riding conditions.
