Surfboard Leash

About

A surfboard leash is a crucial piece of equipment in surfing, designed to keep the surfer connected to their board, especially in rough waves. It consists of a urethane cord that attaches to the ankle via a Velcro strap and to the surfboard's tail end. The leash prevents the board from drifting away after a wipeout, ensuring safety for both the surfer and others nearby. It also reduces exhaustion from swimming after a lost board, which can be dangerous in strong currents. The leash includes several components: a string for attaching to the surfboard, a rail saver to protect the board's tail, and swivels to prevent tangling. Leashes come in various lengths and thicknesses, suited for different types of surfboards and wave conditions. Choosing the right leash is important for maintaining safety and performance during surfing sessions. Regular, comp, longboard, and big wave leashes cater to different needs, ensuring a safe and enjoyable surfing experience.
