HI I used to surf alot, now having a go at kiting and loving it. Only used twintips so far, now looking at surfside of it. What id like to know relates to wearing a leash on the surfstyle boards - is it regarded the same as tt's that your a dangerouse kook from cunamulla if you use them & when switching stance you just deal with having the leggie on the front foot? Cheers

99% of people won't wear a leg rope as its too dangerous. its different to surfing...

Yeah - why would you need one unless the wash up is rocks ?? Yes I know it could save a long body drag or swim but is it really worth the risk ?? However I do see the pros using leashes on many Vids - and they don't pay for their boards!! So I do wonder about my surfboard leash - maybe I should use it ???? - and wont lose my head!! (or teeth!)

I'd only use one in big surf, because being stuck in big surf without a board can be dangerous - but i'v only been using a surfboard instead of my tt for a few months now.

I don't. But out in front of rocky cliffs in monster surf I wish for one. Normal sandy beach. No way at all.

One of the big issues with a led rope in big surf is it can wrap around the lines when getting washing machined... That makes for a dangerous deathloop that's hard to detach from.
