Hi all,
Can people please help with advise on the types and advantages of the coil legropes they are using.
Am looking to change and as ussual there is heaps of advice available here.
I am now paddling a Fanatic Fly 12'6'' usually ocean and some flatwater.
I note that some of the coil legropes state that they are not for waves. I am wondering if this includes runners.
Thanks ET.

Oh by the way DOGGIE I don't need an answer from you.
Thanks all the same.

Silly thing to say

SUP leggie [}:)]

Like a moth to a flame hey DOGGIE.
Thanks Human.

I can tell you what not to get - the FCS one it has way too little coil, on my 14'er it still drags in the water just a bit, frustrates the crap out of me, waiting for it to snap so i can tell minister of finance I need a new one for safety

Perhaps i should start using it in the surf, my tanker and that pissant thing shouldn't last long together

PS - my coil leggie (from Balin) has been going strong on my big 17 footer. It's held on in 35knot down winders, and it has also been absolutely fine in 1-1.5 foot surf runners. Let your body flow with the natural pull on the leggie... It's 7mm chord (rough dia.), so it will handle a beating or 3.

I'm still very happy with mine.. and it's been a few years now of constant use (both surf and down-winders) without any issues.

Thanks for your help on this guys and also the reference to past articles. I find all this very helpfull.
I have just bought a full coil, calf model and will give it a baptism tomorrow.
You would think there would be a large range on the Sunshine Coast but I have visited six shops to get what I wanted and then I had to compromise a bit.
Three of these shops were specialist SUP shops.
Maybe the southern end of the coast has more range.
Oh by the way DOGGIE, you make me laugh. That's a good thing.
