Dakine Floating Leash

The hollow Dura-Cord construction is designed to keep the leash on the surface of the water rather than letting it sink. This significantly reduces drag while you are paddling and prevents the leash from snagging on rocks or reef in shallow water.

This leash is engineered for waves up to a few feet overhead. If you are regularly surfing in double-overhead conditions or heavy reef breaks, you should look for a thicker, heavy-duty leash designed specifically for big wave surfing.

Calf placement is a personal preference, but many surfers find it less restrictive than ankle cuffs because it keeps the leash cord further away from your feet. It is a great option if you find yourself getting tangled in your leash during maneuvers.

This 6-foot leash is specifically designed for shortboards. It is too short and thin for the weight and volume of a longboard or stand-up paddleboard, which require longer, thicker leashes to handle the increased board size.

The Opti-Flex ends are designed to maximize flexibility at the connection points. This reduces the likelihood of the cord kinking or breaking at the swivel, which is the most common point of failure for surf leashes.

Yes, the rail saver is detachable. This makes it easier to replace if it wears out over time or to swap it out if you need a different attachment system for your specific board setup.
