I stick with Urethane, having a bungee launch something at you is trading one hazard for another.
The bungee part is only 50cm long on a 3 meter leash, it doesn't provide enough energy for a 14' board to come back to the sender against 40kt wind + bumps.

The cool thing with this system is that you can keep an eye on the wear and tear of the rope. On a regular leash, you generally see nothing until it breaks.

Not something you want to happen offshore in 50 mph winds, where you could bury the nose and have a similar violent tug on your thin rope leash.
Apologies if you have this all settled, but I thought something should be said in case other readers decided to use a thin rope as a leash.
You are totally right. But a properly done knot will never strangle the ankle. And I have a triple bungee along the rope. And booties. And a quick release. I've been using this system for 3 years, first with a 10mm rope around the ankle, then downsizing to 6, and now 4mm. I fall a lot, no violent tug so far.

Great vid. Must get down there one day. Only a 2 hour drive from me. Are you left handed Olivier?
no, why ?

Another one, with a coiled leash inside the spectra rope

Yeah, the first time your board blows over your head and hits the end of the leash like a pissed-off Marlin you start thinking about how to double down on leashes.
My leash is actually a 4mm spectra rope, with two plugs, and a bowline around my ankle, with a snap shackle for quick release. Just unbreakable.

Super Olivier. Je visite la famille de temps en temps a L'isle Sur la Sorgue depuis le Canada. Je vais etre plus attentif quand il y a du Mistral.
Moyennant un léger supplément de bagage, ton Maliko 14' x 26" est absolument parfait pour Berre C'était d'ailleurs une source d'inspiration au moment de supprimer du volume, j'adore ce concept de planche plate aux extrémités fines, ça gomme tout le backwash

The board is a 3bay prototype, 14'x28" We started from the design of the 3bayAllwater 14' 2020, but I asked the shaper Patrice Remoiville to remove a lot of volume from the front rails and the tail to reduce the impact of waves hitting the board; My idea is : - the tail volume is useless, and even unconfortable, on a board designed to surf - the less tail volume you have, the less nose volume you need to balance it. So I had him remove 50 liters, from 310 to 260 http://3bay.fr/boards-race-allwater-14

Ma famille me disait que le Mistral soufflait a 120km/h dans la vallée et 200 km/h au Mont Ventoux. Faut bien s'accrocher a sa planche :-)
Je ne suis pas allé voir en haut du Ventoux, mais on a enregistré 103 km/h sur l'étang pendant la descente. Faut bien s'accrocher en effet, je ferme généralement la marche avec un leash en corde noué à la cheville et à 2 plugs sur la planche :-)

Actually with the trimaran it was really easy, I was able to follow my regular SUP buddies, needing one paddle stroke when they needed two
