DAKINE

Longboard Ankle Leash 9ft x 1/4in

TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable type of plastic that is resistant to abrasion and impact. It is crucial for surf leashes because it provides the strength and elasticity needed to withstand the forces of waves and movement, ensuring that your leash remains reliable during your surfing sessions.

Dura-Cord is a specialized cord made from urethane, designed to be exceptionally strong and durable. Unlike regular cords, Dura-Cord can handle the intense stress of being pulled and stretched while surfing, making it a vital feature for any surf leash that aims to provide long-lasting performance.

The ankle cuff is designed to attach securely to your ankle while providing comfort and freedom of movement. With features like molded ankle cuff padding, it prevents chafing and ensures a snug fit, allowing you to focus on your surfing without distractions.

Hydrophobic means that the material repels water. In the context of the ankle cuff, this feature helps prevent the cuff from absorbing water, keeping it lightweight and comfortable even when you’re out in the waves. This ensures that you can surf longer without feeling weighed down.

The leash is designed to allow for smooth movement across the board, which is essential for the cross-step technique. This design ensures that the leash does not get in the way while you transition from the back to the front of the board, allowing longboard surfers to maintain balance and style effortlessly.

Each of these features—TPU material, Dura-Cord strength, comfortable ankle cuff, hydrophobic properties, and cross-step accommodation—contributes to a better surfing experience. By choosing a leash with these attributes, you ensure durability, comfort, and performance, which can enhance your overall enjoyment and safety while surfing.
