We Invented The Original

Blue Chip Quick Release SUP Waist Belt in 2012

Background
In 2012, we started our search for a suitable reliable quick release waistbelt that met our requirements for use in rivers, streams, fast flowing. Having found nothing available, we decided to create our own Blue Chip Quick Release Waistbelt. We asked various manufactures for samples and soon realised that the only way to ensure and maintain the quality required was to make them here in our workshop where the quality can be guaranteed. In the Autumn of 2012 we launched the first ever SUP Quick Release Waist Belt. Another great benefit of making them ourselves is that we can make any improvements to our design / materials instantly.

Original Blue Chip Quick Release Waistbelt - £15

  • Webbing:- We only use 50mm heavy duty Polypropylene webbing with a breaking strength of over 500kg which holds its integrity and resists any form of snagging. The 50mm width also make for a comfortable fit.

  • IMPORTANT :- It is vitally important to trim your belt to give just 10cm of loose belt after the buckle, too much loose webbing could become a snagging hazard. We offer a free service to either trim your Waist Belt to a smaller size or custom make it to a longer size if you supply your waist measurement as shown in the image.

  • NOTE :- 100% Reliability - When fitted correctly, the Blue Chip Quick Release Waist Belts have a 100% record of releasing on demand, no snagging, no locking up and zero failures.

  • Reliability :- In water safety simplicity is king. The less complex a product is, the less likely it will be to fail. Every moving part or linkage on any safety waist belt has the potential to fail. The Blue Chip Quick Release Waist Belt has just one moving part and just one attachment point. This is the result of development and extensive testing since 2012.

  • VHV “very high visibility” day and night with silver white reflection giving a brightness of over 450cd(lx/㎡) Reflection visible at night from over 500m for increased safety.

  • Leash attachment:- we in build a colour coded leash anchor point on our belt

  • Buckle:- we use the proven and exceptionally strong "high walled" Cam Buckle which is both very easy to adjust and has a positive quick release. The design incorporates “high side walls” on the buckle, which guard against accidental release and snagging during the release operation 

  • Quick release toggle:- We use a long secure quick release toggle. Our 120mm release toggle gives you a positive grip so you can still choose to stay with your board if the situation develops and this becomes a safer option.

  • Construction:- we make the Blue Chip Quick Release Waist Belt here in our Surrey sail repair workshop. We use the same heavy-duty yarn that we use on our sail repairs. The “Dabond 2000 UVR polyester thread“ from Heminway & Bartlett is a bonded, twisted continuous filament polyester yarn resistant to UV and the marine environment.

Custom Sizing:- Our standard size range 70cm - 125cm (28” – 49”) and we advise trimming the belt to give no more than 10cm of loose belt after the buckle, too much loose webbing could become a snagging hazard. We offer a free service to either trim your Waist Belt to a smaller size or custom make it to a longer size if you supply your waist measurement as shown in the image.

A simple way to avoidA simple way to avoid “leash string” tail damage to your board.

Use a double loop on the anchor string so the rail protecting webbing shields the board rail

Do not use a single loop on the anchor string as this allows the anchor string to cut into the rail
