FBC Parawing Leashes: Smart, Clean Safety for Modern Foiling
Parawing foiling is all about glide, efficiency, and flow. The last thing you want is a clunky, noisy, or tangled leash breaking your concentration. That’s exactly why Foil Board Company (FBC) has developed a dedicated range of Parawing leashes, built specifically for the unique demands of powered foil flight.
At Northern Watersports we stock the latest FBC leashes designed for Parawing and advanced wingfoil setups:
- FBC Parawing Bar Leash – Secure Parawing Connection
- FBC Parawing Board Leash – Tangle-Free Parawing Safety Leash
- FBC Air Board Leash – Lightweight Performance Leash
Below we’ll walk through what each leash does, who it’s for, and why FBC are quickly becoming the market leader for parawing safety gear.
FBC Parawing Bar Leash – Secure Parawing Connection with Quick Release
The FBC Parawing Bar Leash is the main link between you and your Parawing bar. Rather than re-using a standard wing or kite leash, FBC built this from the ground up for powered parawing foiling.
It uses Dyneema hollow-core webbing with an internal shock-elastic core, giving smooth, progressive stretch that absorbs load without the harsh “snatch” you get from basic webbing or rope. A quick-clip bar connection on one end and a carabiner for your FBC waist belt on the other keeps things simple, strong, and easy to rig.
- Clean, secure connection between rider and Parawing bar
- Dyneema hollow-core webbing with internal shock elastic for comfort
- Quick-clip bar attachment for fast rigging and derigging
- Carabiner waist connection compatible with FBC waist leashes
- Low-profile design to reduce drag, line slap, and tangles

FBC Parawing Board Leash – Tangle-Free Parawing Safety Leash
The FBC Parawing Board Leash is the first leash designed specifically for the foil board side of a Parawing setup. Traditional coiled leashes work fine for standard wingfoiling, but with a Parawing’s fine bridles and higher lines, those coils can easily snag and tangle.
FBC solves that problem with a hollow-core elastic webbing instead of a heavy coil. This gives controlled stretch, a super low profile and almost no “slap” on the water. A quick-clip stainless carabiner connects to your belt or harness, and a swivel plus leash saver at the board end keep everything running twist-free.
- Tangle-free by design – no big coils to catch Parawing lines
- Elastic-core webbing for smooth stretch and low drag
- Stainless quick-clip carabiner to belt or harness
- Swivel board attachment and rail saver for clean rotation
- Perfect for Parawing downwinders, freeride and training sessions

FBC Air Board Leash – Lightweight Freedom for Parawing & Wingfoil
The FBC Air Board Leash is the lightest and most refined foil board leash in the FBC line-up. It’s built for riders who want their leash to feel as close to “invisible” as possible while still giving full security.
It combines precision-weighted hollow-core webbing with an internal elastic core and a compact urethane coil section. This hybrid design keeps the leash quiet, balanced and out of the way when you’re pumping, gliding or linking long downwind sections.
- Featherlight construction for a true “no-leash” feel
- Hollow-core webbing with internal elastic to kill slap and bounce
- Short urethane coil section for controlled stretch when it matters
- Swivel carabiner and durable rail saver for clean, secure attachment
- Ideal for Parawing, wingfoil downwinders, SUP foil and surf foil

Why FBC Parawing Leashes Are Market Leaders
1. Purpose-built for Parawing
These aren’t repurposed surf or standard wing leashes. Every Parawing leash in the FBC range has been designed specifically around Parawing loads, line layouts and riding angles. That means less interference, smarter connection points, and gear that behaves properly at speed.
2. Hollow-core webbing with internal elastic
FBC’s signature approach uses hollow-core webbing with internal elastic on both the bar and board leashes. This massively reduces slap and bounce while still giving controlled stretch and comfort. It also sits flatter against your body and board, so it’s less likely to grab water or lines.
3. Tangle-resistance and low drag
Tangled coils and noisy leashes are one of the most common complaints from modern foil riders. By avoiding big, loose coils (and combining webbing with compact coils only where needed), FBC keeps drag low and movement clean – especially noticeable in downwinders and high-speed runs.
4. Premium hardware and build quality
From marine-grade stainless carabiners and swivels to the stitching, rail savers and quick-clip points, everything is built to handle real-world abuse: salt, UV, crashes and heavy load cycles.
5. Designed by foilers, tested on the water
FBC is a rider-led brand, and it shows. These leashes clearly come from people who foil, crash, paddle back in and repeat. The little details – leash length, stretch, hardware orientation – all feel carefully thought-out rather than generic.
