FAQs
What is the maximum wave size this leash is recommended for?
This leash is recommended for waves up to 8ft (2.4m).
What is the cord diameter?
The cord diameter is 9⁄32" (7mm).
How do I clean the leash?
Rinse the leash thoroughly with fresh water after each surf session and dry it in the shade before storing.
What makes this leash 'the world's strongest'?
It features a one-piece leash design with no joins, significantly reducing potential weak points and increasing overall strength by 40% compared to standard leashes.
Can I use this leash on a longboard?
While designed for strength, the 6ft length is generally more suited for shortboards. For longboards, a longer leash might be more appropriate depending on your surfing style and wave conditions.
What is the purpose of the Plug Buddy?
The Plug Buddy is a small accessory that attaches to your leash plug, making it easier and quicker to thread your leash string and attach the leash to your board.
Does the leash come with a leash string?
Yes, the leash includes a leash string and a Plug Buddy for easy attachment.
Troubleshooting
Leash tangles frequently
Ensure both swivels are rotating freely. Rinse with fresh water to remove debris. Consider using the Plug Buddy to help keep the leash string organized.
Strap feels loose or slips
Adjust the strap for a tighter fit and ensure the anti-slip rubber print is positioned correctly on your ankle. Make sure the railsaver is securely attached.
Cord appears stretched or weakened
Inspect the entire length of the cord for any visible damage or excessive thinning. If damage is found, it is recommended to replace the leash for safety.
Railsaver damages surfboard rail
Ensure the railsaver is properly positioned around the rail and that the leash string is not pulling it too tightly against the board's edge. Ensure the leash is the appropriate length for the board.
