99 problems and a Leash is One

XM leashes are for kooks, poor people, or the guys who are obliged to use them from their sponser... Do yourself a favor flave and use the ball and socket for anal beads on yourself and buy a dakine or creatures of lesuire

 

Fix anything with duct tape

 

bro, never 'fix' a leash
if its more than a yeare old and you actually surf more than once a monthe, you should get a new one
just get a new one
your life MIGHT just depend on it one day

 

tried it, worked for a day. Had a XM 1 1/2 yrs. and had the same problem. Got a Dakine to see if it last longer.
XM broke at swivel in knee high surf, go figure. In years past I would get 4 or 5 years out of a leash and that's when I got to surf a lot more. New and imprived seems to equal disposable in a lot of cases.

 

I'm sorry, I meant zip ties.

Fix anything with zip ties.

 

If your life depends on a leash, you should NOT be surfing.

 

Probably the only thing you've ever posted that I agree with. HAHAHA

 

And then there's this... this I tend to agree with too, although having a leash has saved me a long swim on a BIG day a few times. I believe I could of made the swim in, but having that leash definitely made the situation not so bad.

 

I'd say more than 2 years old, but, yeah, just get a new one.

The fact the ball socket broke before the cord is surprising. Don't know where you can find new swivels...maybe a marine store (probably more trouble than it's worth)

 

I agree barry, I agree
if you notice i have a giant qualifier in all caps: MIGHT
but having subpar equipment is a recipe for disaster, its best to cover the bases with top notch training...AND top notch equipment

 

Suck it up and go buy a brand new shiny leash, and don't forget to replace the string on your leash plug. I've had those break more often than the leash itself. Then you're scouring the weedline looking for old mono, or you have to cut off some of the tie on your board shorts.

 

Just get a new leg rope mate.

 

Get a new fin leg rooe

 

Save old leash to choke out people who shoulder hop. (JK)

 

on a side note, you can melt a broken leash back together.

 

leashes are what, like 20 bucks lol.a lot easier than fixing

 

how do u do that?serious question,i tried to melt a zip tie to my coolant reservoir in the car to fix a crack.it didn't work lol.I know u can weld plastic,but I know I cant weld plastic.

 

FCS leashes are cheap but I love em. and they're shiny oooooooohhhh ahhhh
