Great surf on the GC the last few days......but a leggie failure after surfing for a couple of hours and a 400 meter swim holding a paddle is no fun .

Tie paddle to your board short string

Please explain?

I have a key attachment in my boardies pocket I just loop it around the paddle shaft just below the handle then swin normally. Or loop ankle strap remains around it

Give me a 400m swim for some good waves any day.

Besides, where on the goldy are you 400m offshore?

At the alley, out the back but the board got sweep north to Lacys, diagonal distance not a straight line to shore

Mate we were there yesterday surfing out wide it was a mongrel paddle and yes taking the sweep into account would be a 4oo meter swim it was a bit of a shock to my system actually how unfit I was and I was praying I didnt break a leggie on my longboard I remember breaking a leggie out wide at Northpoint on Moreton Island a couple of years ago on my Sup I was kind of glad I still had my paddle as it had a bit of float and also was thinkin I could fend off sharks with it

Fair enough.

i have a bit of occy strap sewn into my boardies to make a loop to put the handle through. The overseas surf trip boardies, that it. We get to wear the, for a couple of hours a year down here.
