FAQs

What is the main advantage of the one-piece technology?

The patent one-piece technology eliminates weak points typically found at the crimped ends of traditional leashes, significantly enhancing overall strength and durability.

How does the anti-slip silicone print help?

The anti-slip silicone print on the padded strap provides a secure grip against your skin, preventing the leash cuff from slipping down your ankle during intense surfing maneuvers or wipeouts.

Is this leash suitable for heavy waves?

Yes, the controlled-stretch urethane cord and robust construction are designed to handle larger swells and provide a safe distance between you and your board, making it suitable for challenging conditions.

How do I attach the leash string easily?

The leash includes a 'Plug Buddy' which is a small plastic tool designed to help you thread the leash string through your surfboard's leash plug effortlessly.

Can I replace the railsaver if it gets damaged?

Yes, the railsaver is designed to be detachable and replaceable, helping to protect your surfboard's rails from wear and tear caused by the leash.

What is the recommended maintenance for this leash?

After each use, rinse the leash with fresh water, dry it in the shade, and store it away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect for any signs of damage.

Troubleshooting

Leash tangles frequently.

Ensure the dual anchor swivels are rotating freely. Check that the leash string is not twisted. Try a slightly shorter or longer leash length if consistently encountering issues.

Leash cuff feels uncomfortable or slips.

Adjust the strap for a snugger fit, utilizing the anti-slip silicone. Ensure it is positioned correctly on your ankle. If discomfort persists, consider if the padding is sufficient for your session duration.

Railsaver shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the railsaver regularly. If it's damaged, detach and replace it. This is a replaceable part designed to take the brunt of the wear.

Urethane cord appears stretched or weakened.

Visually inspect the cord for thinning or permanent deformation. If significant stretching or weakening is apparent, it is recommended to replace the leash for safety.

Pros and Cons

  • Secure and comfortable fit with the anti-slip padded strap.
  • Reduced tangling thanks to dual anchor swivels.
  • Effective rail protection with the detachable railsaver.
  • Reliable performance in larger swell conditions.

Cons

  • May be more robust than necessary for beginner or small-wave surfers.
  • The premium features might come at a higher price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert the leash string through your surfboard's leash plug.
  2. Secure the leash string using the provided Plug Buddy for ease of use.
  3. Attach the leash cuff to your ankle, ensuring the padded strap is snug and the anti-slip silicone is making contact with your skin.
  4. Connect the leash swivel to the leash string loop.

Compatibility:

This 7-foot leash is generally compatible with most shortboards and funboards. The leash plug size is standard. The railsaver is designed to fit most board rail shapes. Always ensure the leash length is appropriate for your board size and surfing conditions.

Care:

  • Rinse the leash thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand.
  • Dry the leash completely in the shade before storing.
  • Avoid leaving the leash in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the urethane cord.
  • Inspect the leash regularly for any signs of wear, such as cuts, fraying, or damage to the swivels and cuff.
