I literally tore apart my surf closet searching for a Shapers branded leash string on Saturday. There were probably 5-6 brand new typical ones that come with some leashes and tailpads, but noooo, even though I've never broken a leash string in 40+ years of surfing, I needed one of these "improved" branded ones to put on a backup board no less.

I ended up finding it after about 10 minutes of searching/rearranging, but still feel the shame.

Talking about feeling the shame, I recently yolo'd both a fishbeard and a twin pin. Back at home I realized only the fishbeard came with a CI leash string. Considered removing one from one of the zippers of a CI boardbag I have. But ultimately went back to the store and "borrowed" a string from another board in the rack.....

He never surfs the same string twice (hell, sometimes sells them before using them) and makes his own.

Hahaha…Pretty damn funny boys!! I only have CI and Pyzel branded strings bc they’re the ones readily “available“ from the local hangout/shop. I’d have more colored strings if I bought more leashes, but I seldom buy them. And it wouldn’t feel right removing them from leashes
