FBC Knee Leash V2 | Foil Board Knee Leash

The FBC Knee Leash V2 is designed for riders who want a secure, low-distraction connection to their board without the feel of a traditional ankle setup. Worn around the knee, it helps keep your leash placement higher on the leg, which many foilers prefer for cleaner movement and less interference during starts, foot changes, and general riding.

For wing foiling and other foil disciplines, a knee leash can be a great option if you want your setup to feel a little tidier and less noticeable while riding. The FBC Knee Leash V2 is aimed at riders who value comfort, simplicity, and a more streamlined connection between rider and board.

If you are building a clean foiling setup and want a leash option that feels out of the way on the water, this is the kind of accessory that can make a real difference session after session.

• Knee-mounted design for riders who prefer leash placement above the ankle

Real-World Feel

Compared with a traditional ankle leash, a knee leash can feel less intrusive for some riders, especially during waterstarts, pumping, and foot switches. The main appeal is that the connection point sits higher on the leg, which can help the setup feel cleaner and more natural depending on your stance and riding style.

That said, leash preference is personal. Some riders will always prefer an ankle leash, while others quickly switch to knee-mounted systems and never go back. If you already know you like a tidy foiling setup with minimal distraction around your feet, the FBC Knee Leash V2 will likely appeal.

Fit / Setup Notes

• Best suited to riders specifically looking for a knee leash rather than an ankle leash
• Make sure the fit is secure without being restrictive
• Check compatibility with your board leash attachment point before use
• As with any leash system, rinse after use and inspect regularly for wear
