Seem to get fin gouges in the leggy leash in the same spot, about 12 to 24 inch from rail save.

Apart from wrapping a heap of duct tape around this area, are there any other products out there that do the job?

You could try that plastic coil that is used to keep computer cables together .

Hey Windy, do you wrap your leggie around your fins after a surf?
If you do I bet this is where the gouges are coming from.
No wrapping of leggies!!!!

Also try dulling the trailing edge of the fin, use a razor blade and drag it up the edge a few times.

^^^ what he said.

I stopped wrapping my leggy around my board at the fins and haven't had a fin nick since... coincidence maybe.

No Jamie it isn't coincidence. The leggie gets stretched across the fins and any sharp edge will but a crease or gouge in it. It is then more prone to snapping.
I am surprised DJ didn't mention this he is very anti leggie wrapping.
