FAQs
How often should I inspect the leash?
Inspect the leash before every surf session and after each use.
What should I do if the leash breaks?
If the leash breaks, try to grab your board immediately. Assess the situation and return to the shore safely. Replace the leash.
How long does the leash typically last?
The lifespan of a leash depends on usage and care. With regular inspection and proper care, it should last for a reasonable amount of time. Replace it if it shows signs of wear.
Can I use this leash on any size surfboard?
No, this leash is specifically designed for longboards. Using it on other board types may not be optimal.
What is the purpose of the flex neck strap plug?
The flex neck strap plug allows for 360° movement, increasing comfort under load and minimizing the chance of leash entanglement.
What material is the leash cord made from?
The leash cord is made from premium-grade urethane, providing durability and performance.
What is the purpose of the railsaver?
The railsaver system protects the rails of your surfboard from damage caused by the leash.
Troubleshooting
Leash cord is tangled.
Check and ensure the swivels are functioning correctly. Untangle the cord by hand. If the tangling persists, consider replacing the leash.
Cuff detaches from ankle.
Make sure the cuff strap is properly fastened and tightened before each surf session. Check that the velcro is clean and free of sand.
Leash cord shows signs of wear (cuts, abrasions).
Replace the leash immediately if any significant wear is noticed to prevent breakage during use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable premium-grade urethane cord for longevity.
- Railsaver system protects your board from damage.
- Free-spin swivels minimize leash tangling.
- Flex neck strap plug enhances comfort during use.

- Leashes are subject to wear and tear, requiring periodic replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Attachment: Attach the leash string to the leash plug on your surfboard. Ensure the string is securely through the plug.
- Cuff Attachment: Wrap the cuff around your ankle, making sure it's snug but not too tight. The padded section should be against your skin.
- Compatibility: This leash is designed for longboards. It's not recommended for use with other board types or in waves larger than 6ft.
- Care: Rinse the leash with fresh water after each surf session to remove salt and sand. This prevents corrosion of the swivels and extends the life of the urethane cord. Store the leash in a cool, shaded place when not in use. Inspect the leash regularly for any cuts, abrasions, or wear, and replace it if necessary.
