The Best Leash Setup Hack You’re Not Using | PKS Quick Connect Pigtail Set

In this video, Jeff from MACkite introduces viewers to a deceptively simple but incredibly useful product for wing foilers—the PKS Quick Connect Pigtail Set with Stopper Balls. At first glance, it may look like just a small accessory, but Jeff walks through several practical and effective ways to use the pigtails in the world of winging.

The set includes four pigtails, each with a loop on one end and a distinctive plastic stopper ball on the other. That loop-and-ball setup allows users to make quick and secure connections using the tried-and-true lark’s head knot, a method Jeff carefully demonstrates multiple times in the video. While many wings and harnesses come with loops or similar setups, these pigtails give riders a cleaner, more accessible connection point, especially when swapping gear or using different wings and leashes.

One of the most common applications Jeff highlights is attaching a wrist leash to the leading edge of a wing. Instead of struggling with built-in loops or less accessible knots, riders can easily thread the pigtail through a loop, pass the stopper ball through it, and make a fast, strong connection using a lark’s head. The same applies to a waist leash—either from a wing harness or board harness—giving riders a more ergonomic and reachable attachment point on their harness.

Jeff also explains how the pigtails can help standardize leash setups across multiple wings. Instead of needing a separate leash for each wing, riders can unclip or undo the lark’s head and switch the leash from one pigtail to another. This saves time and gear, making sessions more streamlined.

In addition to wing attachments, Jeff shows how to use the pigtail set for board leash connections. By threading the pigtail through the board’s leash plug and using the stopper ball and lark’s head system, you get a reliable and low-profile leash setup that works with wrist, calf, or waist leashes. It’s a subtle, yet super effective way to keep your setup clean and secure.

Throughout the video, Jeff keeps the theme simple: a loop and a stopper ball create a quick and secure connection. Whether you're rigging up your wing, waist harness, or board leash, the PKS Quick Connect Pigtails add convenience and reliability to your setup. Jeff emphasizes that this "small but mighty" product is a must-have for wing foilers looking to simplify their rigging process.
