About Lodestone Leashes

Lodestone Leashes automatically release if your leash gets caught underwater — no panic, no manual pull, no thought required. The logical choice for anyone who values coming home after every session.

The Story Behind the Leash

Lodestone Leashes started with a question Keith Wilcox from Moray, Scotland couldn’t stop asking: what happens to a paddler’s leash when it catches on something — and they can’t get free?

Not an academic question. A practical one. The kind you ask when you’ve spent years on moving water and you understand exactly how quickly a situation can change.

After 23 prototype versions, independent lab testing, and a 2026 Paddle Sports Show Product of the Year award, Lodestone Leashes is the answer he built.

What We Believe

We believe that safety equipment should work automatically — because in an emergency, you don’t get time to think.

We believe that a higher price point is only justified if the product genuinely earns it through performance, testing, and honest design.

We believe that every paddler who chooses a Lodestone Leash should come home after every session. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the reason this company exists.
