Surf leashes

Surf leashes are a crucial accessory for every surfer, ensuring that your board stays close even after the biggest wipeouts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer, a good leash can prevent your board from drifting away, reducing the risk of losing it or causing harm to others. Available in different sizes and materials, surf leashes are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and keep you safe on the water.

How to use surf leashes correctly

Using a surf leash is simple but requires proper attachment to ensure maximum efficiency. Start by fastening the cuff securely around your ankle or calf, depending on the leash model. Ensure that the leash is attached to the board's leash plug and that the cord is free of any twists. This straightforward setup ensures that when you fall, your board remains within reach.

When to use surf leashes

For different surf styles and conditions, the choice of leash may vary. Here are a few key situations where a surf leash is necessary:

• Big wave surfing - a thicker and longer leash, such as the RYD Longboard Knee Leash 7mm, is ideal.
• Everyday surfing - a standard model like the ION Surf Tec Ankle 6' offers reliability.
• SUP or wingfoil sessions - opt for the NEILPRYDE SUP Leash Ankle, which is specifically designed for larger boards.

In every case, the leash serves to enhance both your personal safety and the safety of others.
