FAQs

What is the maximum wave size this leash is recommended for?

This 6ft Premium XT Leash is recommended for waves up to 8 feet (2.4m).

How do I attach the leash string to my board?

You thread the leash string through your board's tail plug and tie a secure knot. The 'Plug Buddy' feature helps make this process easier.

What is the purpose of the dual anchor swivels?

The dual anchor swivels are located at both ends of the leash to prevent the cord from twisting and tangling while you surf.

Is this leash suitable for beginners?

While this is a premium, strong leash, its features like the padded strap and secure attachment make it suitable for surfers of all levels looking for durability. Beginners should choose a leash length appropriate for their board size.

How often should I replace my leash?

Leashes are wear-and-tear items. It's recommended to inspect your leash regularly for signs of damage (nicks, frayed cord, weak Velcro) and replace it annually or sooner if any damage is found.

What material is the cord made of?

The cord is made of high-strength, controlled-stretch urethane.

Can I use this leash for stand-up paddleboarding?

While designed for surfing, the durable construction might suit SUP in smaller conditions. However, it's optimized for surfboard surfing dynamics.

Troubleshooting

Leash tangles frequently.

Ensure both the ankle strap swivel and the board-side swivel are functioning freely. Always rinse and detangle the leash after surfing. Consider coiling the leash loosely when storing.

Strap feels loose during surfing.

Ensure the anti-slip print is facing your leg for maximum grip. Tighten the Velcro strap securely before entering the water. If the Velcro is worn, consider replacing the leash.

Leash cord appears worn or nicked.

Inspect the entire length of the cord for any cuts, abrasions, or thinning. If significant wear is present, the leash should be replaced immediately to prevent potential breakage.

Swivels are stiff or do not rotate freely.

Rinse the swivels thoroughly with fresh water. You can also try applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (avoid petroleum products) to help them move smoothly again.

  • Reduces tangling with dual anchor swivels.
  • Protects board rails with a detachable railsaver.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Insert the leash string through the tail plug of your surfboard.
  2. Thread the leash string through the Plug Buddy.
  3. Tie a secure knot on the leash string to the leash plug.
  4. Attach the ankle strap to your ankle, ensuring the padded side is comfortable and the anti-slip print faces your leg.
  5. Secure the strap using the Velcro closure.

Compatibility:

This 6ft leash is suitable for most shortboards and funboards up to 8ft waves. Ensure the leash string is compatible with your board's tail plug.

Care:

  • Rinse the leash thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, as UV rays can degrade the urethane.
  • Store the leash loosely coiled in a cool, dry place.
  • Inspect the cord, swivels, and strap regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
