Get a coil leash. That retractable leash sucks. Lost my boat using it. I got smoked on a wave and the leash snapped like dental floss. its sucks, stop using the retractable one.
I agree with poop, My first Stingray had one of those recoil type leashes and I never really liked the looks of that thing, too light duty, I use the coil type now and have had zero problems. If you regularly paddle in cold water , you don`t want to fool around with a questionable leash.

Google “bodyboard leashes” and you will get lots of sources for good coil type leashes for bodyboards or canoes.

I’m using a board leash now, but want a leash that will clip into the existing retractable clasp setup.

But its such a cool idea. Maybe I will stick with my board leash.
