Integrated Water Sports Apparel and Water Sports Accessories

Abstract

The disclosure relates to integration of water sports apparel with leashes and other water sports accessories. For example, a wetsuit can be adapted for integration with a leash to reduce entanglement of the leash with a user's feet and eliminate the need to adjust the orientation of the leash on the user during a water sports session.
