Interesting..

Very interesting. I'll have to buy a couple--one to use, one to break.
-
Just replaced a couple of longboard leashes last week and found that these are only available in 6' at the moment. Seems like they would be more resistant to fin cuts for sure.
-
Was wondering myself..."But will it SUP?" Maybe that it's only available in one 6' length, and shown only on potato chip light short boards might be our clue. Looks like a fancy bungy cord, and all I could think of was the recoil from a stretched bungy at the end of an 15-25+ lb board after going away in heavy surf. :o

Nice to see someone push up the hill a bit. I wonder how many sales it would take to get this into the black? ...the 'thane guys would likely lower their price, or not. Still, good effort.
I like this one also ...as the recipient of a number of damaged boards.

i want a Freedom leash! Mostly "Inner Impulse Buying" dude speaking here. Also inner need new/latest tech dude. I almost always use a 6' leash on my V-Box and Blade, unless it's seriously macking out there. That flexi-Hex surfboard packaging in on the list too.

SC, that's a great point, I do use a 6 footer on my V2. (With the rail saver it's over 7')

o got a giggle from the "rigorous team testing"---like those guys could all surf leashless--unlikely there is ever serious leash-stress team riders---chip-boards and they never fall!!
-
I was psyched to get one of these but then watched Goofyfoot George's review on YouTube. No real benefits or weight savings over a regular leash. Probably not worth paying double but I'll get one anyway 'cause it looks cool and I am always looking for an excuse to get new gear.
-
Well, FCS need to do something, for sure. For a while now their leashes have been falling behind other brands IMO, especially in terms of potential SUP use. Balin, O&E etc have been producing more products suitable to our market of late, I think. The FCS racing leash for instance was a great idea but it was not implemented well.
-
nice leash and I'm looking forward to the SUP version.
-
I like the silicone strips in the cuff. My biggest annoyance with leashes are when they spin around your ankles. Creatures has one like this but I can never find them in stock at the local shops.
-
I'll agree with going with a shorter leash, I don't understand the whole 10' leash thing unless you are in some really big stuff.
I go with the Ocean&Earth Premimum 6', love it, has a little spring to it, so watch it on the rebound, but it's strong and 6' is a good length.

The conventional thinking is that the leash should be as long as your board to lessen the chance of hitting your board when you wipe-out. Also, if you want to cross-step to the nose you need a leash that is at least that long. For me a 9' knee leash and rail saver gets me to the end of my 10 footer NP.

Yeah, now on my noserider, I have a calf leash that's 10' long, that makes sense, but.......not so much on a 7'-8' shortboard style.

8mm, i believe--never had one break--had a break on a well-used leashlok waistbelt--at the connection point to the belt
lucky--i was about to paddle out in huge surf at guiones, when i discovered---very tough long paddle out that day---would have been painful had it broken in the water

also the leash string thingies, shown on the link to their belts, are excellent---certainly worth trying for the 2 bux or so they cost, if ordering a belt or leash

got decent vids of guiones--just cant figure out how to post--lazy, too

Suffering from shark fear?
XM may have something to ease that fear, the Sea Snake leash, looks like a sea snake, sharks hate sea snakes, but will it work? Beats the hell out of me,,,,,,,,,, designed for the paranoid, at least.
