on a leash
Avoid the Slater Designs leash. I've had one over a year and there's still kinks in it from the packaging.

It pains me to say that because it's supposed to be environmentally friendly 'n chit.

They break too easy?
All the stuff Oeste said and then also my buddy had his wrap around his board on a heavy wipeout and it cinched down and cut through the rail all the way to the stringer on one side right in front of the fins.

Definitely don't go with the FCS freedom leash - just tore through my brand new XTR and has given me issues with kink and rope burn before.

Thanks for the opinions. I got da kine.
The post on the ankle swivel of my FCS broke for no reason.
I've used FCS for a long time but never again.
I was just glad it didn't happen mid winter in some serious waves.
I hate distance swimming in a 5mil :waving:
