Leash thickness guide
3/16" Comp — thinnest, least drag. Good for everyday shortboard and fish surfing. 1/4" Standard — most common. Good balance of durability and low drag for all board types. 9/32" Heavy — more durable for bigger surf or heavier boards. 5/16" Big Wave — for serious hold-down conditions.
Ankle vs calf
Almost all leashes attach at the ankle. Calf leashes are used by longboarders and nose-riders to keep the cord away from their feet during cross-stepping. Browse longboard leashes for calf options.
