- In an emergency or if the item is lost, finders can easily contact the owner; equipment can be reported as lost or stolen, preventing unauthorised use.

- EFS Roll Leash is a retractable board leash system that prevents dragging in the water and allows more distance to the foil in the event of a fall.

- The leash worked reliably in the test, but requires rinsing with fresh water; available in several kits between 149 and 249 euros.

- Helmets are increasingly being used in surfing, especially foiling, to prevent head injuries caused by contact with the material.  
- Tight spots due to precise wind forecasts and social media increase the risk of collisions, which is why more water sports enthusiasts are wearing head protection.  
- Modern water sports helmets are lightweight, absorb little water, come in different materials and shapes and must fit the size of the head exactly.
