Attaching leashes PROPERLYE

why surf if you can't swim that well? usually i don't even bring out a leash on my longboard because it kind of trips you up

that leash pic you have here looks OK to me, if you're worried about it maybe buy a new leash?

 

Who brought the cool guy?

 

Stevie Wonder could tie a better knot than that

 

just saying, swimming after your board sucks and everything, but its gotta suck that much more if you can't swim. by all means wear your leash if you want to, i don't care, sometimes you don't feel like swimming. but i find that most times when my leash comes undone its because the velcro isn't sticking right, only sometimes does the leash tie or plug have an issue.

don't tell me you've never gotten annoyed with your leash while longboarding

 

Guess you haven't met Frost yet

 

Uh, what?

 

Mathlete,

This thread is kind of tongue and cheek, combining several other joke threads. Frost & Brad Pitted are some forumme gold posters that this is reefering to...
Longboard leashes are a pain in the arse... I use them when losing a board isn't an option. I was just messin' with ya...

 

This right here goes to show, we do have some heart!

 

Always closest foote.

 

it will hold every beach on the northeast but Belmar. for Belmar you need 1/2inch galvanized chain

 

Dear Mr. Belmar,
From all of us here at the SI forum I would like to bestow upon you this gratuitous PHD
in leash attachment and all things relevant .Your never ending quest to make surfers and surfing safer for everyone has captured national attention and the hearts of millions around the world.

Please accept this humble award and don't forget to throw someones $hit in the water when they refuse to learn the proper knot tying techniques.

 

Question, I don't have zip ties, are twist ties a suiteable alternative? I'm not surfing Belmar, so I'm guessing yes however I always defer to a dr's opinione.

 

I think a twist tie any place other than belmar, I think you'll be okay

 

It's my opium that you should always use parachute cord tied with a proper sheep shank knot attaching cord to duct taped reinforced Velcro. Which of coarse should be wrapped snugly around the calf. Now, for proper cord attachment to board, that's simple....utilize the very realizable mini carabiner hook (must be stainless steel)!

Come on guys...quit over thinking this

 

I don't! go away!

 

I didn't know you had to be able to swim, SHATT! back to bowling!

 

I like the carabiner idea... affixed to one's ear gauge so you don't have to fumble around down at your feet in case of an emergency.
