Surf leashes, also called bodyboard leashes and leg ropes, are a staple accessory in the surf industry. It’s an item that was previously unheard of, but today, we wouldn’t glide over to the waves without one. A cord that simply connects the surfboard with the ankle or calf, surf leashes keep your board at a safe distance for easy recovery whenever you wipe out. This accessory has come a long way since Peter Wright first created the bodyboard leash in NZ, which mostly bounced back at the surfer and caused injuries - and was even nicknamed “The Kook Cord”.
