FBC Board Waist Lite

FAQ

What is the FBC Board Waist Lite and who is it suitable for?

The FBC Board Waist Lite is a waist leash for foil boards with a high-quality padded belt, a 2.4 m long urethane spiral leash, and a practical hold handle on the board. It is suitable for anyone who prefers to secure their foil board at the waist rather than at the ankle and thus enjoy more freedom of movement on the board.

How does the Lite version differ from the Pro+ version?

The Lite version is based on the popular Pro+ model and shares its features of a padded belt, 2.4 m spiral leash, and board hold handle. The difference: The Lite comes without a quick-release system, is therefore more affordable, and is aimed at riders who do not need a quick release.

In which sizes is the FBC Board Waist Lite available?

The FBC Board Waist Lite is available in two size variants (S/M and L/XL), which cover different waist circumferences. This way, you will always find a comfortable and secure fit for your body size.

How long and thick is the leash of the FBC Board Waist Lite?

The spiral leash has a stretched length of approx. 2.4 m (8 ft) and a diameter of 7 mm. This combination ensures sufficient freedom of movement when foiling while providing controlled stretch during wipeouts.

What advantages does a waist leash offer compared to an ankle leash when wing foiling?

A waist leash keeps the attachment point of the leash away from your feet, thus reducing the risk of the leash wrapping around your legs during foot changes or maneuvers. This creates a cleaner, more organized setup appearance and more freedom of movement on the board, which is a significant comfort gain, especially with larger boards and long sessions.

Is the FBC Board Waist Lite also suitable for other foil disciplines?

Yes, the leash is versatile and suitable for wing foiling, downwind foiling, surf foiling, and freeride sessions. Thanks to the robust 7 mm urethane spiral leash, it works reliably in waves, choppy water, and open water conditions.

How do I properly care for and clean the FBC Board Waist Lite?

Rinse the leash in fresh water after every session in salt water and let it air dry before storing it. Regularly check the spiral leash, belt, and attachment points for wear to maintain full safety and functionality in the long term.

What is included in the delivery of the FBC Board Waist Lite?

The delivery includes the padded waist belt with a large adjustment range, the 2.4 m (8 ft) long urethane spiral leash (7 mm thick), as well as the integrated board hold handle. This gives you a complete, immediately ready-to-use leash system for your foil board.
