I mean,
they are both stupid board-leashes, hey ?
they do the same function, right ?
I don't get it ?
lol.

you ride with straps in the surf. of course you don't get it.

why do some folk on this forum use "gay" and "stupid" interchangeably?

reel leashes are stupid, but how are they gay? whether you're on a float down oxford st or you're a total homophobe there seems little reason to connect leashes with gayness. studded collars maybe, and these may have leashes attached, but that's not what we're talking about.

bronski beat and the blue oyster bar and man-waxing are gay.

reel leashes are stupid.

surfboard leashes may be stupid in a lot of contexts though there's some dispute.

using "gay" as an all-purpose denigration is definitely stupid.

many things are gay and stupid, but not all that is gay is stupid, and not all that is stupid is gay.

having other ways of criticising objects and people will make you seem less stupid.

I saw the male ends of two leashes touching the other day which was totally gay. but the female ends where touching too which was totally hot..

I think homophobs call things gay as they feel the need to try convince others that they aren't gay.

I think guys say lesbians are hot 'cause they don't really get the concept.

I think slave is.. hmmm... always on about the same crap.

Stamp,
When you're riding strapless with a leggie...
Does the leggie get in the way and under your foot sometimes especially when changing feet while gybing ?
Just curious.

Slave, why has your avatar got a cocknballs inserted in each ear ? Are you waveslave or sexslave ?

Heh heh...

Try below the knee rather then around the ankle.

Big breath.. I totally agree with slave (and djojo) and many of you children need let go of the primary play ground mentality and GTFU. Cut down on the red cordial too.

All leashes between rider and board are bad news but many are too busy spaffing over there kite hero's latest DVD to even contemplate this, yet would lay the slippers into anyone who uses a real leash or whatever. Totally hypocritical.


Attempting to create hiarachys with strapless at the top, strapped far behind and (I am wildly assuming here) twinnies scraping the barrel exposes desperate and feeble individuals who needs to classify/rate themeselves against others to compensate for lack of personality/social skills/length or girth.

Leave the smal mindedness (and everything else small) behind and get out there enjoying the best sport around even if your on a Maccas tray.

Slave you are stiring though mate.

'Below the knee' is a funny place to attach a leggie strap... ^^^
that's because the leg-shape is tapered the wrong way for the collar-type strap to stay put...
i.e.
The collar will slip downward due to gravity and rest on the ankle...
unless you have big fken kankles.

I was thinking maybe the reel-leash might be ideal for a wavekiter who changes feet while gybing...
no loose cord underfoot cause the reel-leash is attached to the back of the harness and is under tension.
It's so neat.

are the cocks touching on the inside ?..... (maybe gay?)

plenty of longboarders attach the leash below the knee so it doesn't get in the way when they walk up and down the board.

not sure how a reel leash would go on a surfboard, i don't think i want the board that close to me after a big wipeout. i can see major fin bites.

^^^^^^^^ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Obviously I'm retarded, I just don't understand the topic's title full stop.

I'm not sure how they are gay, maybe dangerous at times. But critisicing their sexuality is unfair.

What do you mean they are both stupid Are you stating that the combination of the directional surfboard and a leggy together are stupid.

waveslave said...

they do the same function, right ?

What do the same function

I don't get you point

You know I ride a surfboard, in certain conditions I'll attach my leggy.

This is my chain of thought when deciding to use a leggy.

* Is the wind slightly offshore, if in the event I have an equipment failure my board will be close by to assist in the event I need to paddle in.
* Is their a chance the wind will drop out, Like you know at your local, the wind on the inside can be fickle. Nothing worse than a downed kite in a lull, slowly drifting away from your board which no doubt drifts in a different direction to the gentle drag your getting from the kite. As you will remeber what happened last week at your spot to another kiter, how I went and got his board. Then an hour later the wind dropped out on me but I managed to self rescue and my board just towed behind.
*Big waves I've been out in 8-10ft waves only a few times. I've had situations where I've come off my board in between sets, without the leggy I would have been in all sorts of trouble. Being able to tug your leggy put board on feet and get out of there is way better than getting smashed into the Gnaraloo bubble or the impact zone at Marg's.
*Downwinder on hot weekends Not all the time but if the conditions are hot and it's a weekend then you know the beach will packed. Because I do down winders strapless I will lose my board more regular than srapped, so to prevent my board just washing into some kids that could be 50m away I will wear a leggy. Saves you dragging around for most of the downwinder to.
*Offshore reefs More often than not they have very strong currents from the water dredging off the reef into the deeper chanels. I would much prefer to know where my board is 1K out to sea then be dragging around like shark bait looking for it.

IMO the risk potential on a surfboard with leggy is heavily reduced from a twin tip and leash setup... For one the surfboard volume keeps the board from doing the typical submarine problem like TT's. The speed of travel is totally different, there's no boosting or trickery (well shouldn't be in the waves anyway).

I agree there are risks, the most common risk by using a leggy on a surfboard is when dragging through oncoming waves. This is the only time the board will want to become a projectile, in this event I'm fully prepared and I keep my head and body submerged until the stretch of the leggy has gone.

Not saying everyone should be wearing one...Some people shouldn't go out fullstop in the conditions I listed above. But if your aware of the potential risks and put countermeasures in place then don't worry about what others say.

Slave you probably think all us that use pads under our straps are Gay.
