Leashes (sometimes referred to as a leg rope or foot cord) are a handy invention that allows you completely wipe out and not have to swim back to shore to get your board. The leash can also save boards from crashing onto boulders, jetties, or rocky shorelines. The leash will often save you from a long swim, which is helpful at breaks where the waves are a long way from shore. Sometimes breaks can be a half-mile paddle from shore! Surfboard leashes also aid somewhat in safety by allowing you to kick the board away from you if you know you’re going to wipe out. You should always try to maintain direct control of your board at all times and not really on the leash, but if you’re going to go over the falls I wouldn’t recommend trying to hold onto the board. Use a leash length that’s approximately equal to or slightly longer than your board length. If you’re at the 6'0" mark, I’d round up. If you have a 6'6" board, I’d recommend a 7'0" leash. A 7'8" board would use an 8'0" leash.
