Still pretty new but have read some threads and tried out several combos.
What are disadvantages of waist leash? I love it.
Most seem to use leg leashes.
With waist leash, you can always attach a rear anchor point with marine cement if there is not a good factory site (chief negative i've heard). No/less entanglement, easy to get to rudder or around boat if needed, no mess down in footwell, no knee ligament/tendon injuries, you have extra bungee cord if needed (slightly facetious).
