Ive had a palmers creatures and FCS legrope break while moving the leggie around.
right where it's connected to the leash.
anybody had this issue.?
or could the wife be the culprit ?

Ocean & Earth (the one ) no issues full stop.

Oh, my mistake I thought this was a post about tying a girl up with a LegRope.

ET.

Yes. FCS ones mainly. I avoid anything with FCS screws holding **** together now as i had the same problem with them breaking were the leash connects to the ankle strap or swivel.

Da Kine Leashes are good and i don't mind Creatures, never had a problem with them.

Been off Balin since the Velcro just gave way on one after 6 months. Just wouldn't hold together when any force was put on it.

O & E are good leashes but find they are the worse for wrapping your feet up.

I Buy new ones every few years to..

Creatures

Creatures

Last one to break was creatures,, only ones so far that haven't are balin Storm ,,,but they have same connection as a creatures so I don't have much faith.

Most of the time I use thin comp leggies, whatever I find on sale between $20 & $30 coz my local is pretty soft most of the time. Otherwise I use Creatures & FCS thicker leggies I've also bought according to price. Last leggy I broke was at head & 1/2 low tide second section Impossibles. It was an FCS 6ft 10mm leggy 2years old & broke on the swivel, I guess it had had a fair beating over the last couple of years. I replaced it with another FCS 8ft 10mm.

I don't really follow any brands...My longboard/666 10ft 10mm leggy is a couple of years old, brand name "Horny" lol & has had an absolute beating but still going strong *touch wood*...probably care more if I was in the habit of surfing more serious waves.

Sounds like you got lemons though Cobra, I'd complain if they were not very old.

Balin are good, dog ate it. Farking are good, dog ate it.

Don't let the dog near your leggie

Have creatures now, hate it

Oh missed the 3-4 years comment, that is a pretty good innings. Usually break or give mine away with a surfboard sale by then.

Mick I had a brand new leggie used only two weeks in indo,never used the board for a year& half
pulled the board out and the plastic connection just started decintergratededecintergrated &$@?

That sux man, maybe it would of been better if it got used once in a while lol ...nah I dunno mate, maybe a lemon or stored in a place where the conditions were not favourable to its existence. I made sure to have a toilet style vent above the window in my garage to regulate temps where I store my boards n sh1t. Used to get boards sticking to board covers with wax in the old garage, got pretty hot in there.

Friends dog ate my gath helmet in the 90's, was not stoked at all...but could not help but laugh

add a brand called "wet dreams" to that list, failed me out on a bommy, I had to ask a 666 to tow me in, very embarrassing.

Balin or O&E only from now on.

+1
O & E preferably.

salt water gets em eventually only a matter of time - plastic degrades & stretches , longest use I had was O & E , on a Balin now 7 or 8 months so far , been thrashed too

I usually use OE but I bought a Shapers about 3 years ago,no probs with it yet.Just bought a new creatures for the !0 footer,see how it goes!...

That doesn't surprise me,sometimes I get years out of cheaper brand stuff

This is the one I'm using atm but 10 foot and Red,pretty sure it was $36 delivered,going strong after 3 years.I just whack a bit of Inox on the swivels every now and then
