| - | 1) A surfski will roll and wrap the leash around it as it rolls. If you're on the downwind side of it, it will roll right over you. An easy to get to release is needed, otherwise you'll end up like a trussed pig with your leash wrapped around the boat and you pinned to it. I had my leash around my knee, and I reached down, unhooked the velcro and held on for dear life! I'm not sure how easy a waist release would be to get off in this situation as I've never used one. | + | 1) A surfski will roll and wrap the leash around it as it rolls.

| 2) Once you're free of the leash wrap, you must hold on to the leash with your hand and, at this point I'm not sure if you want to try leash up again or not. I was hesitant to trust doing an underwater wrap of the velcro around my knee, so I just held on for dear life! | 2) Once you're free of the leash wrap, you must hold on to the leash with your hand and, at this point I'm not sure if you want to try leash up again or not.
